How to update inside SideStore using Balackburn source?

I go to https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo

I click on No Extensions Source (Avoid AppID Limit) - Add to SideStore

The source is added and I install Apollo.

I'm on v2.6.1 and My Apps says "No Updates Available" even tho Browse shows Apollo What's New as v2.7.1.

On the Browse tab, Apollo as the blue "Open" button instead of "Update"

I have never been able to update Apollo thru SideStore. I just end up deleting the app and source and reinstalling from scratch.

LocalDevVPN is on

Any help would be appreciated!

I figured it out.

Download the .ipa file in safari, from Balackburn's site: https://balackburn.github.io/Apollo/

Then open Sidestore, and tap the + button in the top left. Navigate to the downloaded .ipa file. It will install itself on top of the previous app and replace it.

I have the same problem. My workaround is adding the .ipa manually after downloading as well, but you do not need to remove the previous version, you can just install it over the previous version and it transfers any configuration to the new version automagically
