v4.0.0 - iPhone Duo, iPad layout and much more

3 hours ago

Mirrored from Apollo-Reborn v1.15.11_4.0.0.

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


Features

  • Add iPhone Duo support with layouts that adapt to the closed display, open portrait, open landscape and partially folded positions, using the existing Apollo Reborn builds (#1245: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Browse a feed beside its comments, choose Original or Focused content widths, and open the subreddit list in a Standard or Liquid Glass panel
    • Inbox, Account and Settings gain sidebar/detail layouts in open landscape, while Search can keep results beside the page you open
    • Pixel Pals is unavailable on Duo; regular iPhones keep it
  • Add an optional iPad Layout (Beta) on iPadOS 18 and later, with a native sidebar, adjustable feed and reader columns, and full-width Gallery View (#1385: @jordanearle)
    • Try it from the one-time invitation or turn on iPad Layout under Interface; quit and reopen Apollo to apply it, or turn it off to return to the classic layout
  • Add Restore Reading Session to reopen your last feed, post and nearby reading position after iOS closes Apollo, including feed and comment sorting (#1441: @Thetromboneman1)
    • On by default under Media → Browsing; explicit links and notifications take priority, and turning it off deletes the saved session
  • Add a Setup Assistant for new installations to connect or restore, choose Classic, Balanced or Full Featured preferences, select appearance, and review before applying (#1401: @jordanearle)
    • Existing users can open it from Apollo Reborn settings with Keep My Settings selected; updating does not automatically apply a preset
  • Rework Gallery View with faster opening, pinch-to-resize tiles including a denser four-column layout, and native press-and-hold menus in the grid and fullscreen viewer (#1389, #1434: @icpryde, @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Sports clips can play silently in the grid, newly visible tiles start reliably, and returning from a fullscreen image no longer leaves a black screen
  • Open Gallery View for All Saved or a selected Saved category, with empty categories shown without an endless spinner (#1440: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Rebuild Recently Read as a native Apollo feed that follows your post layout, thumbnails, text size, themes, swipe actions and menus (#1442: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Open it from its own row on your profile, switch its layout without changing other feeds, clear the history, or remove individual posts
  • Add Recently Visited subreddits to Search, with configurable section order and limits under Subreddits settings (#1404: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • History clears on restart or account change and is not saved to backups
  • Add Add Downvote Tap under Posts & Feeds → Info Row so tapping a score can cycle through upvote, downvote and no vote; off by default (#1403: @AcornElf)
  • Add a Subreddit Icon switch to Compact and Immersive subreddit header layouts, updating the preview and live header together (#1426: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Feature seasonal icons in Daily Spotlight around holidays, including Apollo's original holiday icons; the spotlight now shows six picks (#1390, #1245: @icpryde, @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Tint Apollo Reborn maintainer usernames purple in posts, comments and the Inbox, while retaining their real profiles and normal moderator indicators (#1411: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Make Bug Reports attach a removable debug log automatically, and mask usernames, account details, links and sensitive values before logs are exported or shared (#1422, #1423: @icpryde)
    • Export Debug Logs now shares a file that can be attached on GitHub; subreddit names, post/comment IDs and diagnostic details remain readable

Performance

  • Reduce unnecessary API-Key-Free requests by fetching subscriptions in larger pages and, with Reduce Rate Limiting on, batching feed avatars by page; interrupted subscription refreshes keep the existing list (#1416: @icpryde)
    • Deleted or unavailable Bluesky previews stop repeatedly fetching themselves and using Reddit requests as a fallback

Fixes

  • Refine Duo navigation with steadier feed positions and search bars when columns change, a smoother subreddit drawer, correct Home/Popular/All restoration, and Reddit links opened from Settings routed to Posts (#1470: @nnastasi)
    • Resume videos that were playing before folding or unfolding, covering both shared Reddit videos and direct-player media
  • Center folded Duo title pills in the usable header and keep composer text clear of the right-hand system strip, with correct wrapping and height through folding and unfolding (#1480: @jordanearle)
  • Keep the same Duo comments thread when returning from a linked subreddit after rotation or folding, and let the drawer return to an older retained feed correctly (#1464: @jordanearle)
  • Correct Duo video autoplay around the side rail and both columns' navigation bars (#1466: @kiliantyler)
  • Keep View All Comments visible inside its Duo comments pane when opening a specific comment (#1468: @d0lb33)
  • Stop the hidden subreddit index swallowing favorite taps and scrolling near the stars on Duo (#1469: @kiliantyler)
  • Open native action menus from controls moved into UIKit's overflow menu instead of silently dismissing without showing the actions (#1474: @kiliantyler)
  • Keep loading API-Key-Free Inbox rows when looking up a reply's quoted parent fails, showing the messages without that quote (#1455: @icpryde, @DeltAndy123)
  • Keep API-Key-Free infinite scrolling retryable after Reddit returns a rate limit or block page, rather than treating the refusal as the end of the feed (#1424: @icpryde)
  • Load the next feed page when Hide Read hides every loaded post, including with Infinite Scrolling off (#1412: @icpryde)
  • Fix Reddit image uploads becoming broken links when Imgur is selected, single-photo comment uploads failing, and synthetic album links in comments (#1402, #1406: @jordanearle, @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Previously broken uploads still need to be uploaded again
  • Give inline comment images and GIFs Copy Image, Save Image and Share actions, and open loaded images fullscreen without a second loading fade (#1400: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Show the correct image, GIF, video and album menus when pressing and holding media inside a post, including Save All Media for albums (#1435: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Fix a crash when opening a compact album from its long-press preview (#1398: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Fix crashes while feed videos wait to play and while deleted comments are being prepared (#1428, #1450: @Thetromboneman1)
  • Keep a playing feed video's sound and mute icon in step when opening its post, including with the phone's silent switch on (#1425: @icpryde)
  • Stop rich link cards shifting the feed or changing their image crop after voting (#1457: @icpryde)
  • Open Find in Comments from the Liquid Glass post menu with its search field, keyboard and result navigation working correctly (#1446: @icpryde)
  • Keep a collapsed feed search bar hidden when returning from the fullscreen image viewer (#1447: @Thetromboneman1)
  • Bring back the complete Liquid Glass tab bar after swiping back from Edit Profile, including its glass background (#1431: @icpryde)
  • Refresh subreddit icons and banners from current Reddit artwork instead of retaining older images (#1396: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Preserve usernames in comment and post headers by shortening flair first, while keeping timestamps and other trailing details visible (#1366: @AcornElf)
  • Open Reddit social links on profiles directly in Apollo instead of the browser (#1407: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Explain why Notifications settings are unavailable when no notification backend is configured, instead of spinning forever (#1399: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Open Poll, Media, Link and Text post shortcuts in the correct editor even when the composer finishes preparing after its sheet appears (#1414: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Keep the separator below Home's first post visible after switching tabs and refreshing (#1405: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Stop the Boxes title truncating after returning from an inbox on Liquid Glass (#1395: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Apply a custom theme's bar color behind classic feed and comment search bars with Pure Black Dark Mode off (#1459: @icpryde)
  • Match the Portrait Lock settings page to the inset, rounded style of other settings screens (#1410: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Check for updates every 15 minutes while Apollo is active, and remember Later for the same version for 24 hours across restarts (#1436: @IllIIllIllIllII)

Known issues

  • Reddit currently blocks the API-Key-Free route used for Load More Comments and some post/subreddit lookups; the Inbox failure fallback above does not repair that route.
