I haven't used this mod, but at least on PC or console, seeing this means that not everyone has clicked through the screen showing that day's earnings.

Please update to stardew valley 1.5 AndroidHi
A friend of mine wanted to play this game in multiplayer on mobile. Of course we all know this isn't possible. Except it is!
I'll post the straightforward way to accomplish this here, and talk about the hurdles I encountered at the end.
This is absolutely fidgety to get working if you don't know exactly the right way to go about it, but if you do know, it does work!
=======================
Install the latest SMAPI Installer for Android from this source on your phone. It's the apk file under Assets.

Although the installer says 3.7.6.9, it seems to install 3.7.6.1. Probably just an oversight. It doesn't matter though, it works.
Now that you have the actual SMAPI Stardew Valley app installed on your phone, you can delete the SMAPI Installer app, and also the ~130Mb apk file it leaves behind in \SMAPI Installer in your Android home directory:

At this point you can open SMAPI Stardew Valley. You will notice no big difference (except for a keyboard icon in the top left), since we haven't added any mods yet. SMAPI has automatically created a Mod folder in your \Stardew Valley folder with 4 mods in it: Console Commands, CustomLocalization, SaveBackup and VirtualKeyboard.
Time to add the Multiplayer Mod:
(This is the newest version of the mod, fixed an invisibility bug, but reintroduced another bug, making selling something not advisable, as the joining players can't continue past the sales summary screen. At least I couldn't when I tried)
(This is the older version of the mod, which has the invisibility bug, so when you join a game for the second time, you will be invisible to each other)
Copy the MultiplayerMod folder into the Mod folder in \StardewValley\Mods
Start SMAPI Stardew Valley.
Your home screen now has a Co-op option, click it:

Click on Host New Farm (Mobile Platforms).
I tried (PC Platforms) too, but couldn't connect to farms created that way at all.

Go through the usual setup:

Don't forget to set Starting Cabins to at least 2:

Skip the intro and wait till you appear in your bed:

Now quit the game completely. If another person tries to join at this point, they will manage to connect to some degree and get the "New farmer" selection screen, but if they click on it, their screen will stay black with it loading forever.
Start SMAPI Stardew Valley again. Click on Co-op. Now click on your newly created farm at the bottom:

You are back in your bed in your house.
Now get your buddy (who has gone through the same procedure and hopefully has the same mods as you) to click on Join at the top.
Enter the hosts local IP address. You can find out your phone's IP address in your phone's settings, under About phone or Status. You might have to search a bit, every Android phone is different. Mine for example is 192.168.2.102, so that's what I enter:

Can this be used between PC and mobile? The developer did mention it can but when I tried it, it didn't work
I don't believe that would be possible, unfortunately.

Hello, I have an annoying issue. I installed the installer from the github without problems. When I pressed install in the app, it just said, that the app can't be installed. I allowed all permissions to the app, and i disabeled the google play protection, but it didn't help. Please someone help me, I really want to solve thisHi

Unfortunately this mod was made for the 1.4 Android version of Stardew Valley, but the game is now on 1.5, so it may not work without an update.
Unfortunately this guide is from before 1.5 was released, and has not been updated yet.hiii i just wanted to ask what 1.4 version of stardew valley did you use to run the multiplayer mod? smapi says the mod is not working on the 1.5 version. thank you for noticing!!!

Hi. Me and my girlfriend are trying to install this mod on Android, and we've both managed to install the SMAPI version and everything seems fine there. But I can't seem to install the actual mod file because it redirects me to Google Drive, and doesn't give me an option to download
If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated

Hey bro! I was playing with my wife and something pretty annoying kept happenning. When we first entered the Mine, after going down to the second floor, her character froze (we tried doing it 2 times, and it had frozen both.) It's a already know bug? I'm waiting for your answer :)

So uh it put me in this infinite loop between "migration complete restart smapi stardew valley to play" and "smapi needs to locate stardew valleys folder content to continue" and I have done everything the same as I read so if you can explain please go ahead.Hi

Just want to add to this thread that Smapi 3.18.3.3 SVE 1.5.6.52 and SVE 1.5.6.39 work beautifully with the 'Multiplayer Mod 2' on Android 13. It was released in Jan 2024 on Nexus Mods. I've only tested LAN so far, but am going to attempt NordVPN Meshnet first and if unsuccessful I'll try ZeroTier.
For those struggling with Smapi errors, there is a download I used for my kids phones (Android 14) where you bypass the need to go through the whole smapi download and install and configure etc. I can't remember which forum I found it on, might have been here actually, It was a life saver as I was going mad trying to get it to work. I have the details on my phone somewhere should anyone want to try this approach. There are two downloads one contains the Smapi SVD download and the second is the SDV folder the one that goes into internal storage. They sort themselves out. You won't have Smapi Installer on your phone for editing, but I edit my virtual keyboard in my Stardew Valley Folder in internal storage and then copy and paste to my zane.stardewvalley mods folder. Far simpler.
I learnt the hard way when it came to editing configs! I'm very new at this.
Use Zarchiver and grant access- you will need it to gain access to android data files. (Works on Android 14 too)
If you want to edit a config always do it externally!
Navigate to zane.stardew in android data, delete virtual keyboard config. Go to stardew valley mods in internal find config file for virtual keyboard. I always cut and paste to desktop on PC or downloads on Android. (Then copy the config and put into a separate folder if you want a temp backup-avoids the confusions of multiple configs of desktop)
If you are connected via PC edit the config with Note Pad or Noteplus++ (latter preferable as has json viewer and validation). If Android, do yourself a favour and use a json editor. I use json editor online. No more hunting for my own silly errors!
Once edited and saved retraced your steps.
Put config back into Virtual Keyboard in Internal Stardew Valley Mods Folder and then copy and paste it into zane.stardew in Android data.
I have made so many errors by trying to edit the config files any other way.
Hope this is of some help
