Login with legendary

Good afternoon everyone, first of all, I don't speak English fluently, in case you don't understand me. But I was trying to create an Android login to view my Heroic Games library and I was wondering how this client uses it and if it's portable in any way. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you very much.

heroic calls the legendary binary and parses the output of the commands for the different actions

I just managed to log in, but I can't get it to show me the game titles

Any ideas?

Yes, I know how to use the commands, but in the Android application I made I don't get the names of the games

then I don't know, it might be that something in android is preventing the output to work as intended, you'll probably have to clone legendary and add some extra debugging for your personal use case, I don't think it was ever intended to be used on android

but maybe you should ask in the legendary discord just in case
