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:
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.

Did all of the above. AOL works but
MSN gives me an error:
Unable to authenticate: Unable to connect
any idea?
thanks.

Can someone send me the corrected host file or send me all the text so i can copy and past into file
Had the same Problem !
and it worked after this ->

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

thx iP4
to resolve the no connection issue you need to edit your hosts file or download the big boss apollo fix under your installer. it will be under tweaks 1.1.3 named im chat1.1.3 fix
I noticed that the connection is sometimes operating, and sometimes not.
This is te case for ICQ : “could not connect to authentication server : Could not resolve host name”. However, sometimes it connects.
Does it help to iedntify the problem ? (i use 1.1.4).
Reversely, i did not succeed to connect MSN
hey, i have apollo in my iphone but evretime y try to connect to msn but it wont connect, what can i do?
Can anyone give me a link to that “host” to be installed in the 3 different places on the iphone. I’m running 1.1.4 will it still work ???
Thanx a lot
hmmm maybe u r behind a proxy or firewall.. usually you can change this by using a different port, ie. if icq doesn’t work on my laptop, I change the port to 443. Currently I am trying to do that too on ApolloIM on iPhone, but got no luck
maybe smbd else got it running.
I tried it like this…
…
…
64.12.161.185:443 login.oscar.aol.com
…
…
still doesn’t work
if youre using ibrickr,
1. go to /applications/apollo.app/ and download the host file out
2. open the host file via notepad, delete everything and copy “##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
64.12.161.185 login.oscar.aol.com
65.54.179.216 nexus.passport.com
65.54.183.203 login.live.com
65.54.239.210 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.211 gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.183.193 loginnet.passport.com” into the file and save it.
3. upload the host file to the following 3 locations: -/Applications/Apollo.app/, -/etc/, and
-/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/
have fun X)
ip4s worked for me
I keep getting something like “cannot connect to authentication server: could not resolve host name”
what should I do??? it worked before… And I can’t delete everything again…
HEY GUYS I FINALLY DID IT.. NOW MY APOLLO WOKS:)
THANKS FOR THE HELP I REALLY APPREICIATE YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSS..
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
change the host file the last 3 ip is all wrong, that’s why it couldn’t communicate to hotmail.
Fix: Open the host file using notepad and edit the last 3 entry to
65.54.239.210 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.211 gateway.messenger.
hotmail.com
65.54.183.193 loginnet.passport.com
cheers ;p
I spent about 2 or more hours trying to get Apollo to work on my Touch, which was a waste of time because Meebo is way better. I went to meebo which is already formatted for the mobile safari. I tested it w/ a second account and its super fast, pretty much instant. Trust me. Meebo is way better. You have to be in wifi or edge anyway so might as well hop onto meebo.com
