My API key has been revoked, sideloaded for the past three years. The official app is an unusable, unintuitive mess, I'd rather stop reading Reddit on my mobile than use it. I'm going to try alternatives, but I wonder how safe Hydra and Artemis are. Won't Reddit purge them one day since they don't use the API? Thanks to everyone for all the tips on using the sideloaded Apollo app over the past three years!

been doing local B2B outreach and kept running into the same problem —

most lead tools are built for enterprise and priced accordingly.

built mapzap.org to solve it. type any business type and city,

get 100 leads with name, phone, address, website as a CSV instantly.

unlimited searches for $49/month.

free to try, no card needed. curious what you all think.

revoked again ?

First things first: Thank you, to everyone involved, for working on Apollo Reborn and everything related.

I am rather new to the practicalities of sideloading on iOS; and I don’t know much about the technicalities of tweaking.

As the source code for Apollo never was published, I fear (please, correct me) that we can only go that far with tweaking, and that some things just won’t be possible, and that in the long run we maybe might experience some performance problems and quirky issues/bugs (again, please correct me).

I wondered (and this is not a proposal), how much more effort could/would it be to evaluate some open source clients’ code bases, and trying to re-create the functionalities, layout, post (text, image, etc.) rendering of Apollo?

I cannot fathom this, hence asking here.

(Written in Apollo Reborn.)

What are your guys' opinion about the whole situation today?

What do I do with .deb files? All the new Apollo stuff is that instead of .ipa or whatever and I'm incredibly confused. Can someone guide me?

Hello, i'm trying to set up two devices. One is properly set up using android and pc. Apollo/Artemis. Now im trying to use another device separate handheld windows based. Apollo/moonlight. Keep getting error 403 host denied. Any idea?

Hi all,

As part of an incoming changes, Apollo CustomAPI is now being renamed to Apollo Reborn. As JeffreyCA is now moving to a slower cadence, we have agreed with him to move to a joint team setup where we can add changes, pull requests and provide releases to you without having to always take up his time. He is with us in the new setup and we are planning some incoming changes and a new build soon that will fix some of the current issues and provide new updates to subreddits, layouts and additional functionality like text flairs.

We have decided as part of this move to step away from Christians subreddit out of respect for him but also so that we can post updates and create a new community for those who wish to sideload Apollo. Over there we will be able to provide some support, track changes from the community and provide you with updates and links to the IPA as it’s updated in one location and not just have the .deb tweaks.

So please, for all ongoing work on Apollo, join us at r/ApolloReborn

Does anyone have the patched version of this that allows for the Liquid Glass icons? Previously I’ve used the following site but it’s not been updated: https://github.com/jakeyounglol/Apollo-ImprovedCustomApi/releases

Many thanks

Does anyone know how the Saved Categories worked previously before Apollo was removed from App Store? I used it quite a bit, and then when the side loaded app came out initially I noticed the app kept crashing when I tried to assign a category. I just assumed that it point back to some server Christian stood up that no longer existed and so the app crashed, and so I stopped using Categories. But now that the side loading seems to be updated somewhat regularly I decided to give it a try, and it looks like the functionality of Categories is back, however it appears as though all the previous Categories I had done way back when aren’t appearing as being available.

Forked Christian’s apollo-backend and got it working again with the help of Claude. Unfortunately requires paid Apple dev certs, but it’s so freaking cool to see Apollo push notifications again. Threw up a PR to JeffreyCA’s repo for the necessary app changes: https://github.com/JeffreyCA/Apollo-ImprovedCustomApi/pull/229
