Version 11.3 works fine even with game in /sdcard/lovegame (android 11)

If you're using 11.4, then /sdcard/Android/data/org.love2d.android/files/games/lovegame should work. If you're using 11.3, then /sdcard/lovegame should work.

For any future readers. There is no way on a unrooted devices to use 11.3 > without having a shitton of permission pain. Just downgrade to 11.3 and you will be able to edit lua files on your device in the good old /sdcard/lovegame.

The core problem here is that you are not able to copy files to or edit files due to app permissions in /sdcard/Android/data/org.love2d.android/files/games/lovegame on an unrooted device

With ADB you are able to create and copy files to that location. even with unrooted adb. So editing on pc and then copying to device is still a viable option to dev

TLDR Love2d 11.3 > forces the usage of /sdcard/Android/data/org.love2d.android/files/games/lovegame, which is a protected location. If you want to be able to edit lua files and run directly on your android device use 11.3.
