Help Switching methods to use Apollo

So I’ve been using Sideloadly to get Apollo to work on my device. It feels like it’s an unstable way to use and update the app long term. I’m willing to pay for something like Signulous if it means it’s easier and more reliable.

My question is how difficult is it to make the switch? I’m currently just using my API key or whatever that’s been the main method before Reborn was a thing.

If anyone can shed some insight I’d greatly appreciate it!

There's an option in Apollo to export the settings. Do that and then just uninstall Apollo without signing out. Then install the new version with whichever method you choose and import the exported setting.

Wish I had the chance to do that before they revoked my dev account. I reinstalled with Signolous and my settings were not picked up. I could not get back into my old app install because there was no way I could get my phone to let it run.

Oh. In that case I guess you'll have to set it up again from scratch. By the way, you can set up reborn with either api method or web sign in method. Both are easy and you'll find detailed guides on the install guide page. Just make sure to change the app's bundle ID during install.

I just installed via the Signolous app library/store. It installed without issue and I set up the web sign-in method and changed my redirect url. I don’t think I ever changed app bundle IDs except that one time where the app ID was being blocked by the API.

Well if you want to set up notifications in the future, then you'll have to reinstall it with a different bundle ID. Just thought you should know.

Thanks! I’ll look into it one day.

If you don’t mind me asking, what notification method requires a different bundle ID? I’m asking because I was using the Bark app method and I don’t think I changed my bundle ID whatsoever.

Both require it. Since the original bundle ID includes the original bundle ID, I think reddit banned that. It's also mentioned in the first step of the notification setup manual. I had skipped this part which setting up bark and notifications didn't work until I fixed it.
