![]() Huawei already has its own app store which it has been quietly propping for over a year, AppGallery. ![]() Looked at that way, it is not hard to make the case that Huawei may just be able to survive any attempts to alienate it by locking it out of Google apps certification which effectively means lack of access to services like the Play Store and Google Play Services. Thus, they are likely to embrace anyone who helps them achieve their aims of reaching more users and hopefully making more money or whatever targets it is that they have. While US entities that hold the keys to platforms like the Play Store (Google) and others may be held back by local regulations, developers looking to reach as many users as possible may not be as legally bound. Much as that is the case, an outlook that many have ignored in the ongoing conversation over the future of Huawei and its relationship with Google and Android is the power of the company’s pull thanks to the strong numbers it currently commands. ![]() While Huawei acknowledges that HarmonyOS is not yet ready for smartphone prime time, it is widely seen as its strong backup plan should its Android future not be guaranteed. This is because Huawei has soldiered on using the current provisions that allow it to continue with its relationship with Google to provide regular software updates to users of its devices thanks to the temporary licenses granted to its US partners.Īt the same time, the company has gone ahead and unveiled its own operating system.
