I don't get why you can't just bring your own API key with Apollo. It seems pretty simple to have the user go through Oauth to set up an app and have his own quota.

You can, I've already made a modified version of Apollo and sideloaded it onto my phone with a tweak to set my own key instead of Apollo's However there is a line on the developers page now that says all apps need to accept terms and sign up for a developers program, so I have my doubts it will continue to work either

  How? Apollo’s dev never released the source code to the app, only the server which sends out push notifications.

    Probably jailbroken phone, but honestly I am equally clueless.

    Presumsbly you could disassemble the app, replace the relevant keys, then sign it with your own developer app.

    Probably possible to edit the API key resource without actually needing to see the source code.

      I mean the reason should be plainly obvious if you’ve been following the last few days.

    Sideloadly and a lot of messing about, it doesn't need to be jailbroken though. While it's still here: https://old.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/145y787/tutorial_how_to_add_your_own_api_key_to_apollo/ https://old.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/145y787/tutorial...

Please don’t do this, it’ll just make it even harder for actual developers and moderators to use Reddit’s API if people start abusing it.

  Using your own API key is hardly abusing it. Officially (not that it means much these days) they've said they're keeping it free for individuals with 'standard' usage, which is what one sole user in an app would be.

The developer of Apollo has no interest in working with Reddit after this cluster fuck.

The API TOS has some nebulous verbiage about doing things that let a developer avoid the per app quotas, I'm sure reddit would apply it to any app that publicly did this
