v3.0.0 - A new chapter: Apollo-Reborn 🚀 Latest

Latest

Mirrored from Apollo-Reborn v1.15.11_3.0.0.

These IPAs are the official Apollo-Reborn builds, re-hosted here so this long-standing AltStore source keeps working for existing users. Apollo-Reborn also runs its own website and sources at https://apolloreborn.app

Note

v3.0.0 marks the move from the solo-maintained Apollo-ImprovedCustomApi to Apollo-Reborn: now a community-maintained project under the Apollo-Reborn org. Join us at r/ApolloReborn and check out our new homepage at apolloreborn.app!

The pace of contributions over the last couple of months has been incredible, and a shared org lets us keep that momentum going sustainably: more reviewers, more shipped features, faster turnaround on issues, and a project that doesn't depend on any one person's availability.

We're also pulling the broader Apollo sideloading workflow together under the org:

apollo-backend - a self-hostable revival of Christian's original notifications service for push notifications, inbox checks, and watchers on sideloaded builds.
In-house IPA release pipeline — each release now publishes ready-to-install Apollo IPAs (Standard, No Extensions, Liquid Glass) and an AltStore/SideStore/Feather source directly from this repo. Huge thanks to @Balackburn, whose Balackburn/Apollo source has provided Apollo builds for the community over the years and is the model we're carrying forward.

Thank you,
Apollo Reborn team (@JeffreyCA, @icpryde, @jordanearle, @nickclyde, @DeltAndy123) ❤️

Release Notes

Note

Note from maintainer: This project has outgrown what I can sustain as a solo hobby maintainer. Going forward, I plan to keep things running but at a much slower pace, so expect less frequent releases and slower responses from now on.

I think the best path forward for the Apollo sideloading community is for someone (or a group) with the energy and motivation to fork Apollo-ImprovedCustomApi and carry it forward, which I'd fully encourage and support.

I appreciate everyone who's contributed, supported, and used the tweak since v1.0.0 🙏
