Get Apollo for Reddit working again

Dynamic Stage is a new jailbreak tweak that brings iPad Stage Manager-style multitasking to jailbroken iPhones.
With it, you can run two apps simultaneously side-by-side on your iPhone so that you can do more than one task at once without constantly switching between apps using the App Switcher.

Misaka updates
The Misaka package manager for MacDirtyCow and kfd exploit-vulnerable devices received updates this week that not only added new features, but also squashed bugs and improved the stability of the app.
You can learn more about the latest Misaka updates below:
Picasso v2.0 Update
The Picasso system customization app was updated to version 2.0 this week, bringing a complete rewrite with performance improvements and reliability enhancements.
This all works with the kfd exploit for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6 beta 1 and doesn’t require a jailbreak to perform UI customizations.
You can learn more about the new Picasso v2.0 update in our full news post.
Passcode Customizer
The new Passcode Customizer add-on for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits allows those without jailbreaks to customize their Lock Screen’s passcode button backgrounds.
This add-on is available for free from Misaka and is a fun way to customize even the latest devices in a world where jailbreak releases now seem far and few in between.
You can learn more about Passcode Customizer and what you can do with it in our full review post.
Ringtones Customizer
You can take advantage of the Ringtones Customizer add-on for the MacDirtyCow and kfd exploits to import and set custom .m4r files as your ringtone or alarm without the use of a jailbreak or a computer.
You can use this add-on to import supported files from the Files app. You can even name them however you want. If you don’t have a supported file type, then the add-on supports converting them to the supported file type. It’s a win/win.
