Huawei seeking developers to publish apps on its app store
The company was working on its own mobile operating system based on open source Android which is now expected to get launched by September this year. However, getting banned by Google also mean no longer access to the Play Store for apps.
Earlier, the company was reportedly in talks with Aptoid to include it on Huawei phones as a Play Store alternative. Meanwhile, to ensure that its devices have access to a flourishing app ecosystem, the company is requesting developers of popular Play Store applications to get them to publish their apps on EMUI‘s pre-installed AppGallery app store.
A developer, who wished to remain anonymous, reached out XDA-Developers to share an email sent by Huawei. The email invites developers to join AppGallery which is claimed to have “270 million monthly active users” on over “350m phones,” about half of which are sold outside of China.
The email promises that developers will be provided with “full support” to help them publish their app on AppGallery. However, the company has clarified exactly what kind of support will be provided to developers.
The FutureNet World 2025 event just completed in London, bringing together over 700 industry leaders to talk about the future of network technology. The yearly gathering attracts top executives from global telecom companies, standards organizations, and technology suppliers. For the first time ever, the event created a special “Intelligent Network Best Practice Award” – and Huawei won the prize.
The company stands for its innovative work on smart, self-managing networks. Huawei’s winning technology helps telecom companies run their networks more intelligently with less human intervention. Their solution includes smart digital assistants designed for network maintenance, improving customer experience, and business operations.
These digital helpers fall into two main categories – the Mate series and the Spirit series. The technology has already been rolled out in many countries, showing impressive results across different types of networks including IP, optical, wireless, and core systems. Speaking at the event, Wang Shaosen, who leads Huawei’s smart network solutions, shared the company’s vision: “We’re committed to developing technology that makes networks smarter.
This will help telecom companies succeed with advanced 5G services and prepare for the future of 6G connectivity.
