Apollo IM
Apollo IM is a native 3rd party iphone app developed by “Arminius” which has just released its first beta that now gives you the power of instant messaging via AIM on your iPhone.
Appolo IM has just got better. With help from the iPhone community, the new Apollo IM (Rev 2) is more polished and feature packed than ever before. Now supporting AIM, .mac, ICQ, and MSN, Apollo IM delivers communications beyond any individual network’s limits. Your feedback supports ongoing development. Future releases are expected to add support for Yahoo, Jabber, GTalk, Gadu-Gadu, Bonjour and file transfers.
The codebase and source code for the app is also available at google code here if you wish to contribute to the next version.
Note: If you are having problems with server connections we recommend you switch to using MobileChat app instead. Find the instructions here.
If you prefer to use web based AIM apps try these:
- BeeJive
- Meebo
- Mundu
- Jabber & GTalk
- TinyBuddy
- iPhone Chat Client
- FlickIM
- eBuddy
- TyByIM
- HeySan
- AIM for iPhone
Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps. You can use Installer.app for Mac OSX and iBrickr for Windows PC to do this. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.

to joel
thanks for the step by step guide
my apollo is up running
Ok for me after /etc/hosts update
Yeaha !! Thanks a lot
on my 1.1.3 iphone i cant conect it tells me connection error from notification server: unable to connect
iP4
thank you for your explanation
but how do i do that
i have a iPhone 1.1.2 unlocked
pls ignore my ignorance
would you pls guide me through this
TIA
Ok,
thx it works now after your explanation. We need to paste host file into /etc/ and /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ tooooo
yeah thank you
there doesnt seem to be any easy way to fix it like a simple download update in the downloader once jailbroken?
OK I had problems connecting with my 1.1.3 iphone and just found the solution pour authenticate.
You need to copy your “hosts” file in the following directories of your iPhone :
1-/Applications/Apollo.app/
2-/etc/
and
3-/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/
Enjoy :p
Yes! I love you. my Apollo works now after replacing that hosts file. Thats kind of stupid how they made it so it couldn’t work rite away or is that only for iPod touch users maybe.
it was working fine until 1.1.3
I use Jivetalk, works ok with 1.1.3
how is it a brilliant app if it doesn’t work for 90% of the people who use it u moron
if you do have problems signing on with msn just sign on 3 times then sign on a fourth time and it will tell you thatyou have already signed on, then you wait until it flicks back to the home screen automatically. then if you sign on again it should work
yeah i know it is complicated quite unlike icq which works perfectly, but it is worth it
brilliantt app
so useful
Thank you very much JOEL, your method works on my hotmail address but not on the msn, I don’t know why but anyway is good enough. Thank you
How do i save the file that people put into a non text document
just use meebo, it’s better than Apollo.
people you’re talking with appear at the top of your buddy list (no scroll to search open conversations),you can see all the lines you’re typing…anyway i think it’s so much better. open safari and o to www.meebo.com (it functions also in PC, i use it at the university where computers do not have msn). try and let me know
Hi
I have replaced the hot file in the Apollo Apps, it does not change anything :
I get the message :
could not connect to authentification server could no resolve host name, with AIM and
Connection error from notification server : unable to connect with MSN
Thanks in advance for a fix
Cyril
Hi I have tried it but nothing
i have 1.1.3 does it matters??
thanks
joels instructions seem a bit complicated..just download the file posted on January 25th, 2008 at 12:49 pm by Hossam^^^^ and replace with the “hosts” file in Applications/Apollo.app using WinSCP (on windows): ( u will find the winscp download here & info about how to use it)
yeh same for me cant connect even after latest hosts file. any ideas?
Hey..!! i already get into the iphone’s files but i can’t find the Applications folder obviously i can’t find either de Apollo folder.. please HELP ME..!!
Hello
1st I want to thank you for this nice Software.
I have re-install Apollo after update to 1.1.3
It has found my previous settings but each time I try to Log-in I get the message :
could not connect to authentification server could no resolve host name, with AIM
and
Connection error from notification server : unable to connect with MSN
Do you plan to include voice in AIM ?
THAT WILL BE GREAT
Many Thanks
Cyril
