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.

Yeah, just search through it but if its not there after, that means it doesnt come with that firmware. Maybe try re-installing your installer…

I WANT TO SEE THIS APP IN THE NEW APPLE iTUNES APPS STORE……PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heyy–
so i just downloaded the Apollo im and im having troubles. it seems that it connects and downloads the cookies but then it just closes without the finished log-on…any ideas how to fix it??
thanks.
I have Apollo Im V. 1.0.2
I tried to get my msn working by following the instruction of Joel posted on January 26 th.
But the link to the file “hosts” is not available. Where can I get that file to finish the instructions?
I also read about the new IP adress that msn is using.
Where do you fill in those data?
i can’t seem to find IM Chat 1.1.3 fix… is it removed from the sources?
This is all pretty stupid. The application shouldn’t require IP addresses in a host file. You should be able to enter in the NAME of the servers when you configure the connection. The NAME of the server should be RESOLVED via DNS just like ANY OTHER APPLICATION DOES!
I have not looked into the issue with Apollo extensively but using a static host file is just plain stupid. Server IP’s change CONSTANTLY.
Sheesh!
where do i enter ???
207.46.96.153 messenger.hotmail.com
207.46.96.154 gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
or
1-/Applications/Apollo.app/
2-/etc/
and
3-/var/mobile/Library/Preferences
i just read all comments and i dont seem to be able to understand where do i put all these input
can someone direct me ??
what do I put as port and server once I have entered my email and password as a MSN account ???? Help please ????
I use FRING now, great apps with audio
hey the links to the file by everyone dont work can sum1 plz post a working link
thanks!
i run 1.1.4 and i installed the latest version of Apollo, when i sign in i get the message that cant connect to the authentication server and could not resolve host name. i followed all the steps and put the we b address named “hosts” in the 3 directories. still doesnt work. help anyone???i even rebooted my iphone 3 times. do i hav to edit the text in anyway?
OK people listen up. I had the same sign-on issues and was beating my brains over this. The instructions above did not work for me. The reason that it is working for some and not others is that the IP address of msn servers have changed since the above solutions were published. They may perhaps change periodically, which if true, really suck cos it means that we will get this sign-on issue each time. If you don;t know what an IP address is then don’t worry about it. I got it to work by finding out what the ‘current’ IP addresses are for the msn servers and then modifying the hosts file accordingly. So for those trying to use msn replace the 2 lines with messenger.hotmail.com in it with the following:
207.46.96.153 messenger.hotmail.com
207.46.96.154 gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
I hope this helps!
No one of those links for host file doesn`t work for me…
Plz someone tell me where can i download this HOSTS file…
MobileChat isn’t working for me, either. Just hangs at the “Connecting” stage.
(recently jailbroken ipt with 1.1.4)
