			===Who ported SMAPI to Android?===
			SMAPI on Android was originally ported by {{github\|MartyrPher\|MartyrPher}} for Stardew Valley 1.4.''x'', updated and improved by {{github\|ZaneYork\|ZaneYork}} for Stardew Valley 1.5.''x'', and then updated and improved by {{github\|NRTnarathip\|NRTnarathip}} for Stardew Valley 1.6.''x''. Each update builds on the last (e.g. NRTnarathip's version continues from the work by MartyrPher and ZaneYork).

	'''~~Mods are poorly supported on Android and~~ may ~~be a frustrating experience~~.'''<br />		'''SMAPI for Stardew Valley 1.5.6 is in alpha testing. Some mods may not work with the latest version of the game yet.'''<br />
	~~To play with mods, Stardew Valley on PC (Linux~~/~~macOS~~/~~Windows) or Steam Deck is strongly recommended~~.		You can watch {{github\|ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/issues/246\|this tracking ticket}} to see the latest updates.

	~~The main issues are:~~		An incomplete list of working/non-working Android mods can be found [https://android.stardew.rocks here].
	~~# SMAPI on~~ Android ~~only works up to~~ [~~[Mobile Version History#1~~.5.6.~~39\|Stardew Valley 1.5.6.39]]~~, ~~and hasn~~'~~t been updated since then. You can~~'~~t legally download an older version of~~ the ~~game, so you can't get help doing it in any official community~~ (~~including Discord, Reddit, or~~ the ~~forums~~).		</div>
	# ~~You'll also need older versions of mods compatible with Stardew Valley 1~~.5.~~6 (see [[#FAQs\|FAQs below~~]~~]), and many newer mods won't work~~.
	# ~~Even mod versions for Stardew Valley 1~~.5.~~6 may not work~~ on ~~Android~~, ~~due to differences between the Android~~ and ~~PC versions of~~ the ~~game~~.		'''Note: Because Android SMAPI is still in its testing phases, even the latest release may not work for everyone'''
	~~# Newer Android versions have stricter storage policies which make accessing~~ the ~~files much more difficult~~.
	# ~~Reinstalling~~ the ~~game or installing SMAPI~~ will ~~delete your saves, so you need to manually back~~ up ~~and restore them each time~~.		# Download the {{github\|ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/releases\|latest installer APK file}} (the file under "Assets" that ends with <samp>.apk</samp>).
			# [https://www.greenbot.com/article/2452614/how-to-sideload-an-app-onto-your-android-phone-or-tablet.html Install the APK on your phone].
			# Run the new app to install SMAPI. This may take a while depending on your device (''e.g.,'' 21s on a Samsung Galaxy S10, and 1 minute 13s on a Samsung Galaxy S6).
			# When it's done, you can safely uninstall the installer app.

			That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods.

			==Update==
			Just follow the [[#Install\|install steps]] again; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.

	~~If you really want to use mods on Android, good luck! You can check~~ the ~~{{github\|ZaneYork/~~SMAPI~~-Android-Installer/issues/246\|tracking ticket in~~ the SMAPI ~~for Android repository}} for discussion~~.		==Uninstall==
	</~~div~~>		# Uninstall the SMAPI Stardew Valley app.

	~~===How do I find the version of a mod which works on Android?===~~
	~~Since you need to use an older version of the game, you'll need older versions of many mods too. Here's how to find a compatible version for most mods:~~

	~~# Try the latest version.~~
	~~# From the Nexus mod page, click the ''Files'' tab to find all available versions.~~
	~~# Under "Main Files" and "Optional Files", try the latest file which...~~
	~~#* says it's for Android;~~
	~~#* ''or'' says it's for Stardew Valley 1.5.6 or earlier;~~
	~~#* ''or'' says it's for SMAPI 3.7.6 or earlier;~~
	~~#* ''or'' was uploaded before 19 March 2024.~~
	~~# Under "Old Files" (if present):~~
	~~## Change the sort to "Date Uploaded" and "Desc".~~
	~~## Try the latest file using the rules from step 3.~~
	~~# Check the archived files (if any):~~
	~~## If there's a "File Archive" button at the bottom of the page, click it.</li>~~
	~~## Try the latest file which matches the rules from step 3. (You can [https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewScripts/tree/main/nexus-download-archived-files use this script to add download links].)~~
	~~# If you didn't find a matching file, try checking the mod comments or posting a new comment there.~~

	~~See a [https://android.stardew.rocks very incomplete list of working Android mods].~~
