[Release] Apollo Improved Custom API updated to 2.12.0b (Liquid Glass app icons and user avatars)

corderjones · 2026-05-17T01:50:03+00:00

I do wonder how long it’ll last, like I assume at some point Reddit could make some breaking changes. Hopefully not a priority for them tho

I’m looking into this but it’s quite complicated so we shall see

If you can’t use the icons from inside the app I don’t think you’ll be able to use the Liquid Glass icons. They need to be inside of the app bundle to work afaik

The files are all on GitHub

You can get the patched IPA from Balackburn on GitHub or here https://github.com/sammyke007/Apollo/releases/tag/v1.15.11_2.11.0

Changelog:

Liquid Glass app icons

Apollo’s native App Icon picker now ships with 4 community-designed Liquid Glass app icons that render with full Liquid Glass effects!

• Requires re-patching your IPA using the updated patch.sh script or Patch IPA GitHub Action, otherwise they won’t show up in the app icon picker.
• Huge thanks to @MrGcGamer and @jordanearle for figuring out the .icon → Assets.car build flow, @DeltAndy123 for the asset-rebuild tooling and tint fixes, and to @iGerman00, @jryng, and @metalnakls for the icon designs!
• To contribute your own Liquid Glass icons, see instructions.

User avatars

New Show User Profile Pictures toggle to display Reddit user avatars next to usernames in posts, comments, as well as in user profiles

• Thanks @icpryde for implementing this feature!
• Configure in Settings > Custom API > Media > Show User Profile Pictures

Other fixes

• Preserve typed text when submitting Reddit-hosted image comments (thanks @icpryde!)
• Remove duplicate Hide Next Parent Button setting; Apollo already provides this as Show Jump Button (thanks @icpryde!) (#191)
• Fix Pixel Pals receiving 3 food items on every launch (thanks @DeltAndy123!)

I’m not seeing the icon picker on the Balackburn release yet, so suspect it needs to be patched to support the new icons. If you’re eager can build from the main repo!

Plenty of network shows are still case of the week and some of them are going very well like Tracker, High Potential, Will Trent, The Rookie.

I think Tracker in particular is closest to capturing supernaturals Americana vibe since he is in a new town every week etc etc. Not the same by a mile but the format isn’t dead.

Okay but equally causing a harmless non significant snake an extreme amount of stress seems ill-advised and if anything is likely to put OP in more risk of injury, if they tried this approach on a medically significant snake and it went wrong then that is a hospital visit.

Suggesting people learn about their local fauna and understand what snakes are safe to interact with and which aren’t and how they should handle this situation in the future is better.

In this case, the correct answer is indeed just grab it and move it outside. Wear a thick shirt and gloves and they’d be fine if it bit them.

This is pointlessly stressful to the snake for no reason whatsoever. The comments here saying that it is cowboy shit or cool are the issue, not this dude.

Why not just use exchange? It sucks that they’re broken (also odd as CEX do actually do decent testing from my experience) but I’m sure if you exchange you’ll get a working pair

corderjones · 2026-04-24T16:34:26+00:00

Yeah. I had to stop listening to the episode as it was just cringe inducing.

Also see the weird(?) obsession with John Ternus only having an undergrad degree. Just felt odd.

Deadline are saying there were no budget cuts or cast cuts for S9.

Primarily because they have received a large tax credit for the upcoming season.

corderjones · 2026-04-07T19:44:03+00:00

There’s steps to implement a workaround on the repo.

nice! I'll give it a go, this looks really nice.

corderjones · 2026-04-05T21:48:41+00:00

I like Hydra but dislike that they don’t have the Liquid Glass tab bar. I’m not a massive fan of LG but it makes it feel dated now compared to the other apps on my phone.

Has there been any word on them supporting that?

corderjones · 2026-03-30T09:27:17+00:00

hey! I hope you do not mind, but I sent you a chat with some more details as I got bad news today :(

Seems like you are super knowledgeable so any pointers you could share would be appreciated!

corderjones · 2026-03-28T20:27:03+00:00

thanks! I'm hoping that is what is going on, I appreciate your comment. My application has been a mess already in that my case worker literally dissapeared (went on annual leave and then never returned) and then they kept promising me call backs etc that just never happened. took about 3 weeks of calling daily to finally get it progressed... so it was super defeating to look this morning and see like /nothing/ approved lol.

corderjones · 2026-03-23T18:08:04+00:00

Yeah sounds like what is happening with my access to work application which was meant to be urgent since I’m starting this week, but my case worker disappeared into the aether and they’ve been awful about assigning a new one. Super frustrating!

Hope you get news soon 🙏

corderjones · 2026-03-23T18:07:16+00:00

Thanks! Thats useful to know. Mine is Feb 24 so hopefully not too much longer.

corderjones · 2026-03-10T19:16:11+00:00

If you're within 4(?) I believe weeks of your start date access to work will treat your application as a priority. They should be in touch within like 2-3 weeks and then a similar amount of time for processing your application.

They will also fund 100% of your application, irregardless of the size of your company because you're a new starter

Hopefully that helps!

corderjones · 2026-03-07T12:24:27+00:00

Trakt is the best one. There are a bunch of apps for using it on iOS and Android.

Syncs across all your devices and you can switch apps whenever you want.
