Huawei has been working on its own OS called Oak OS which is expected to be launched in September this year. The world’s second largest smartphone maker was focused into developing its own OS, after the Trump lead administrator banned US-based companies from doing business with the tech giant. Huawei has depended on Google’s Android operating system to power its smartphones. With the ban in place, this means the company will have to come up with a new solution, since it will no longer be having access to the Play Store for apps.

With the Oak OS soon to launch, report says Huawei now requesting developers to publish apps on its app store. The idea is to ensure that its devices have access to a flourishing app ecosystem. The company has reportedly reached out to developers of popular Play Store applications to get them to publish their apps on EMUI‘s pre-installed AppGallery app store.

This information was made known by an XDA-Developers, who shared an email sent to him 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.

As per the reports, the Chinese company has been pitching app makers from last year to build software for a new Huawei app store outside China. The company had even talked with European wireless carriers about spreading this new app store even further.

E hard pass like that Bro. Lumia was an OS too remember? To be a developer that can develop Oak app, you must learn from scratch. e no easy. learning android and iOs sef hard on their own

The story is taking different faces as the day goes by...
I can't wait to see the Final outcome!!

I don't see huawei surviving these........who wants to buy a phone without Youtube, Gmail, Google, I.G, etc.

And which app developer will take the risk of developing apps for an os that is not going to sell.

All of you saying, You can't do without Facebook, YouTube, Instagram blah, Blah Blah

How are you guys surviving before the invention of all these apps??

And besides I am 100% sure Huawei is coming up with apps that are better than all these aforementioned apps above with even less data consumption!!


They're not daft like Africans, they're thinking outside the box!!

They are not mumu like you, they will make everything cheaper, even downloading apps will be free, so as to have more people Buying their phones and using their OS

You obviously have no knowledge about how softwares are made or developed.

I see your kind on Nairaland, and I just laugh.

As a software developer, Huawei is on a very long thing. Android and iOS has 99.9% of mobile market share.
The only thing they can pray for is for US to revert the ban. If not, the way ZTE collapsed, they'll collapse too.

Are you aware they've started selling their assets? I think not.

Enjoy your day.
