I’ve been using Apollo for quite a while from the Balackburn repo, which hasn’t been updated since last year. Is this the best place to get the Apollo IPA?
I still haven’t figured out how to update with Altstore even though I can see the updated versions are available. I’ve gone so far as to remove and reinstall Apollo, but I’m not sure if it even worked!
Well, I have seen the option to update from within SideStore, but not for ages. Balackburn’s repo is configured in the app, so ... Not sure why I’m not seeing the newest version available. What do you recommend?
I tried the link, but my phone wouldn’t open it, so I added the whole/parent Balackburn repo manually, which gave the old Apollo version. Then I added the /Apollo/apps.json subdirectory, which added and does show the new version of Apollo!
But then when I tried to install, it gave this error:
Failed to Install Apollo for Reddit
The operation couldn't be completed.
(minimuxer.MinimuxerError error 27.)
I think the next step is to try uninstalling instead of attempting an upgrade in place, but that error message makes me nervous about being unable to reinstall.
It was updated to 1.2.6 on November 9th of this year. Are you looking at the version number 1.15.11 and thinking no updates have happened?
I’m looking at this inside SideStore

Yeah, thats a super old version. Are you updating your apps or just refreshing them?

Remove it as a source and add it back.
Just tried that. SideStore isn’t picking up on the new version. Did a cache reset, no joy :/
Had the same issue when relying on the main repo, but I added the Apollo repo directly and was able to update to the Nov version

How exactly are you adding it as a source?
The way I did it was by going to the Balackburn GitHub page and clicking the Sidestore link there.

Have you got any suggestions?
I’m on iOS 26.2 RC on a T-Mo iPhone 15 Pro.
To be clear, I’m talking about the Add to SideStore link on this page:
https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo
I just removed and added from the “no extensions” link on that page (which did open fine, thanks for the link!) Same error as before...

If you’re interested in an alternative, I’m trying out Artemis and it seems promising! It’s like a reskinned Apollo that comes from the App Store.
