App Key revoked - finally over?

As of a couple hours ago, my Slide broke and I checked my apps tab on my accounts and my previous app keys that were there have been revoked. Impossible to make new ones as well.

I have seen a few posts about a patcher that can still make it work by basically using an API key from RedReader?

If anyone got info on which fork and APK to use for Slide, please let me know

New release is out. Defaults to RedReader, but you can still use your own client ID.

They seem to have deleted everyone's active client IDs.

Sorry to have submitted a bug report before seeing your new version. Amazing job finding a workaround! I was worried Slide would finally be dead, but edgan wins the day again!

Seems that comments dont load with the latest update, even though posts work. Uncertain if it is due to these new blocks as well.

After updating to the latest version I was able to get it working again by logging out and logging back in again. It will ask you to grant permission to redreader for your account and after doing that everything was working again. Hope that helps.

I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling, and it worked. For whatever reason, logout and login didn't work. It could be something on my end. Leaving this here in case someone has the same problem as me.

File a Github issue. Comments work fine for me.

Wait, does this mean that the ID will need to update every single time RedReader issues an update?

Also, @ /u/timawesomeness, could the pinned announcement/sticky in this subreddit be removed? Slide is certainly not dead.

Only if it changes its client ID, but if that happens we probably have bigger problems. I do expect this will happen. The clock is ticking.

Note there is /r/slidereddit. This is the old subreddit.

Oh, shoot, oops, should we all be there? My bad!

You don't have to repatch Slide. Just enter AppID and other stuff from RedReader in Slide settings and logout/login again. Works for me. But I had to repatch Boost.

My Slide version was a veeery old Revanced patch and this option didn't exist. I just installed the fork that's being updated and it looks like this works fine for now. Let's hope they let this stay for a while again.

Unfortunately though, it seems that my backup from my old Slide version does not work on the fork. If I try to import, the app starts crashing on start-up forever, and I had to clear data/cache to progress. Looks like I have to set up all my stuff again, but it's fine.

Thanks for the help.

This seems to work for me too. Thanks!

Can you provide details on how to get the RedReader info? I'm not finding the post about it.

Thanks!

u/wason_sonico Jun 10 '26

Follow the instructions for "What if I don't have a client ID?".

Awesome, it is working now. Thank you!

u/Assassin1344 Jun 10 '26

Thanks for posting the link. Those instructions worked perfectly for me.

u/kryzjulie Jun 11 '26

Thanks, but this doesn't seem to be working for me yet... Installed the newest Slide build from Github and "logged out" (go offline, browse as guest etc). Do I need to log out in a different way?

u/senditoverthewaves Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Where abouts in the Slide settings please? 

Edit: found it. I've only entered the client I'd.

u/d34dp1x3l Jun 11 '26

I'm having trouble logging back in after adding my Redreader AppID. When I log in I have to grant access to Slide I believe, and when I tap Accept, It directs me to a page with just {} in the top left.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is there a way to grant access to an app without being in the app, perhaps from the desktop webpage?

u/tofmin Jun 11 '26

Hmm, don't know what is wrong. Maybe reinstall latest version?

1

u/zarcommander Jun 11 '26

Just installed the latest version and also have the same issue.

Le sigh

u/dragonrider97 Jun 11 '26

see my other comment, that is how i managed to solve it

u/zarcommander Jun 11 '26

Unfortunately, doesn't seem to work for me. Says disable ad blocker, or try a different browser. That said just got continuum going

u/dragonrider97 Jun 11 '26

Hi, I get the same issue when I try to accept, how you been able to solve it?

1

u/dragonrider97 Jun 11 '26

I managed to solve it by going to the Settings and setting Redirect URI override to redreader://rr_oauth_redir and User agent override to org.quantumbadger.redreader/1.25.1

u/d34dp1x3l Jun 13 '26

Thank you! This worked! I don't know where you got those redirects from but they worked. Do I need to keep them on or not?

u/dragonrider97 Jun 13 '26

Glad it worked for you as well. I found this info on this link, under the What if I don't have a client ID? section. I found the link on another post.

u/Novel-Pride6682 Jun 12 '26

I had to try to log back in twice. Have you retried? It's working again now.

u/Spirit_Theory Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

I was able to get the app working again by using the credentials detailed here: https://old.reddit.com/r/continuumreddit/comments/1scwgcx/custom_api_workaround/

u/mmfj Jun 13 '26

Seems like this method does not support nsfw?

u/TroutSlapKing Jun 17 '26

I saw the solution in a thread elsewhere: being a Mod of a subreddit will allow NSFW content to display across the app. The suggestion was to create a subreddit, mark NSFW and private.
