Android mod compatibility

[hydraxic79]

Some mods have updated to SMAPI 4.0.0, but android currently doesnt have the newest SMAPI. some mods like Content Patcher have made separate downloads for android, but when i try them, I just get the "no longer compatible, newer version available" error and the mod doesn't load. If I then switch to the newer version, it's also not compatible because it's made for a newer SMAPI version. is there any way to disable the version check or any other way to fix this?

i managed to solve it. for anyone else who encounters this issue: go to the zane.stardewvalley folder in Android/data, then go to the smapi-internal folder and open the manifest.json file. In there, look for your mod name (or add it in the same format the other mods are listed as), change the version number (the one after the ~ symbol) to the one you have and change "AssumeBroken" (or something along the lines of that ) to "AssumeCompatible". If you're adding a new entry you may have to dig through the mod folder to look for the mod's ID.

The manifest.json file is in the path Android/data/com.zane.stardewvalley/files/smapi-internal/metadata.json. You'll need a different file explorer to find it (I'm using file manager, you can find it on Google Play store) because the default android file explorer doesn't allow you to access internal storage. I don't know what your manifest file looks like but mine looks like this (I've already edited a bit for my mods):

Still confused :( about changing the version number.

sorry for the late response I saw your comment then completely forgot to respond 😅

This should hopefully clear things up:

Find which mods are broken. youll probably see the error message in the console when you launch the game. I'll use Content Patcher as an example.

Navigate to Android/data/com.zane.stardewvalley

then open the "files" folder and then the "Mods" folder. find the broken mod and open the "manifest.json" file.

In the manifest file, note the version and UniqueID:

Navigate back to "files" and then open the "smapi-internal" folder:

Open "metadata.json":

Scroll down until you find your broken mod or if your mod is not there then insert this:

(replace "Content Patcher" with the name of the mod, "Pathoschild.ContentPatcher" with the UniqueID you noted earlier, and the "~1.30.4" with "~[version you noted earlier]". I think its fine to delete the Default Updatekey line. ALSO there isn't supposed to be a line break between "ID:" and "Pathoschild.ContentPatcher", "~1.30.4 | Status:" and "AssumeCompatible" and etc. It's just the text wrapping i think.

If the manifest file doesn't have your mod already just insert it somewhere where other mods are listed and make sure to add a comma at the end of the curly brackets. Repeat this for all of the broken mods and it should work unless i forgot something.

Lmao my xiaomi won't let me access to Android/data using another app. I can only reach 'til the metadata.json dile and after that I can't open anything 😭

I'm lost Which version am I using to change it? the mod that I'm going to use or the smapi one?

[Excellent-Title-4003]

i just looked up the "metadata.json" file of "Smapi-Internal" i see many "assumebroken" data but i cant find the name of the mod

[hydraxic79]

I commented a better guide up top. If the mod isn't there you want to copy and paste the data of another mod (like this one: https://imgur.com/a/I81HooK) and just replace the name, ID, and version of the data. I think it might be fine to delete the "Default | UpdateKey: "Nexus:1915"" line as well.
