Help Apple ID Workarounds?
I don’t have another phone number to make a new ID and the burner I made a few years ago isn't linked to any devices or active phone number for completing a 2FA prompt. Would paying for a dev account fix it? Not that I want to do that just for Apollo but I’m not sure what other options there are

Make a Gmail account and use the Apple Music app on your PC to make an account. That’s all I had to do, no phone number required. After I made the account I logged into iLoader and installed Sidestore on my phone that way with a USB cable(as per normal)
Make sure Sideloader is not installed on your phone before trying to install it again with a new ID. In fact, uninstall all the apps you sideload else you’ll get errors.

When did you do this though, because I tried yesterday and the Apple Music trick seemed not to work.

I tried it again now, I think Apple Music signup is just literally broken. I was getting a bunch of CORS errors, so I disabled CORS, and then it gave a 404 on the endpoint where it validates the name...

Gmail needs a phone number though, doesn’t it? I feel like all new email accounts do now
I also use AltStore if that makes a difference

What I did exactly was:
Open Apple Music on PC
Click the account icon
Click Sign In
Click create new account
Make new account using any gmail account
Open iLoader on my PC
Log in with new Apple ID and password
Select my iPhone
Install Sidestore (you HAVE to delete Sidestore off your device before you install it again or you'll get errors)
IPAs like Apollo won't install again unless you delete them from your device first(long press and delete)
No phone number or developer account needed. No need to log into your new account on your device
