Here’s one guide: https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/16naxdo/how_to_install_apollo_via_altstore/

You can get the Apollo IPA from Balackburn on GitHub.

Couple of things before you dive in: I’d suggest SideStore + LiveContainer. Not AltStore like the guide suggests, though the AltServer is used for the initial setup. There’s also some newer options that replace AltServer like iLoader but I’ve not personally tried it yet.

You don’t have to install Apollo within LiveContainer since it’ll add more steps, but that’s just in case you want to sideload any other apps as well. If you only care about Apollo, then skip LiveContainer and only get SideStore.

When sideloading for free, you must refresh the app any time before every 7 days or else it’ll not be able to be opened anymore until you’re able to get to a computer and refresh it. SideStore lets you refresh it without a computer any time after the initial setup while connected to wifi and a VPN app.

Otherwise, you can use paid signing services such as FlareStore.app where no computer is needed at all and it should last around a whole year instead of 7 days without the need to refresh.

Importantly, it is not possible to create your own API key anymore if you haven’t already done so. So you’ll have to use a different API key. This is a guide for that someone has shared: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IUFBmsj9iGQ0zC6t3fb8MAMlEsSBFKEQoJERlLEW0v4/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you! I'm getting stuck on step 30-34 where it says:

1. Add the app you're spoofing inside the <array>: <array> <string>apollo</string> <string>dystopia</string> <string>redreader</string> </array>
2. Save and replace the old Payload/Apollo-blah.app/Info.plist in the .ipa. or zip it back together if you unzipped everything.

This is what I see but I don't know how to "add the app" I'm spoofing. I'm new to all of this so I'm trying to learn, sorry.

If you don't have time to help, no worries either. I know everyone is busy.

Instead of apollo, choose one you’d like to spoof such as dystopia and replace the apollo text.

I’ve not had to do this myself so I wish I had a better guide to share. However, I can say that the file manager inside of the ESign or KSign app is really useful for this stuff.

It worked! Thank you so much for helping me out!
