Source note: LemonLoader is independent. Project-specific facts below are limited to information published by the LemonLoader repository, releases, or wiki; general troubleshooting advice is identified by context.
Known installer work
The 0.6.5.1 release notes say the Windows installer fixed some games not being detected and also fixed Unity-version detection in some split APK games.
Checks before blaming compatibility
- Verify the device is actually selected in the installer.
- Confirm USB debugging authorization if using Windows.
- Restart the installer after reconnecting the device.
- Check whether the app is a split APK case.
- Make sure you are testing the current installer release.
Detection is not the same as support
An app appearing in the list does not prove LemonLoader compatibility, and an app missing from the list does not prove the game itself is unsupported. Treat detection and runtime compatibility as separate layers.
Escalation
Search GitHub issues for the exact app package/version and include relevant logs or installer output when reporting a reproducible problem.
Use evidence before reinstalling
A good troubleshooting sequence is: reproduce once, capture the relevant message/log, reduce optional mods, verify release and environment, then change one thing. Reinstalling immediately can remove useful logs and can make the next failure look different without explaining why.
Classify the failure stage
- Installer cannot see device/app: focus on ADB authorization, device selection, detection, or package structure.
- Patch fails: focus on installer output, storage, split APK handling, and current release fixes.
- Patch succeeds but app fails: focus on first-run permissions, runtime compatibility, and LemonLoader logs.
- App works until a mod is added: focus on that mod, its runtime assumptions, AssetBundles, and platform differences.
This classification prevents unrelated fixes from being applied to the wrong layer.
Recommended next step
For a clean path through the project, use the verified download page, follow the installation guide, and keep the logging guide available for troubleshooting.
