Huawei needed to be killed by all means and google suit is one way to get it killed. Huawei has find away around it and all chinese phone manufacturers are working together to create alternative suit which includes joint alternative app store. Realme, OPPO, IQOO, VIVO and so many are already on baord, they are working together to even encourage developers to create ecosystem around that.

If they are successful in that, what do u think will be next?
The answer is open for all to see.
Google can't sit back and allow that to happen even though they are not happy with what Trump is diong, they know it will push other manufacturers to look for alternative but they will not make it easy for smooth ride for that alternative to take off, that alternative will not use andriod platform as a spring board.

What exactly is trump doing that they don't like.

The tech war and restriction to trade with Major chinese tech giant.

The rules of development and advancement states that u should sell your non sensitive tech to other tech companies so that u will make money and they will inturn rely on you.
If u refuse to trade, other tech company will be forced to push tons of R &grin in that direction this means u v s successfully created competition for ur self and they may eventually push u out of market.

That is what is playing out in Harmony OS, alternative appstore, the new Chinese socs fabricating plants(SMIC) and the rise of Chinese silicon valey in zhong guan cun.

Huawei have thier own app store called app gallery, where developers can post thier apps there, I don't think it can affect them. Google is shooting themselves in the foot. When harmony os launch and Chinese government force all thier oem to use that will be the end of andriod. Google is trying to create a monopoly, but you know it's not going to end well.

i dont think this action is aim towards huawei...or any other os...harmony os is doing very well..although i dont consider it an os...
You are right, harmony os is for iot. If Google tries this, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Recall that Chinese OEM makes up more than 60-70% of the smartphone market share, if the Chinese government force them to use harmony os which is in fact better and more secured than andriod because it's based on micro kenel. The funny thing is that you can install apk on harmony os. Then Google might end up like Nokia.

If andriod 's plan takes effect, what do u think will happen to app galery?

Like i v said earlier all other Chinese OEM have seen their vulnerability and they are all wondering who is next after the target of ZTE and Huawei.
Their is serious unanounced joint ventures going on btw chinese OEMs and huawei apps gallery is the backbone of the development.

it won't affect Huawei because there's no play store. Most times if you have all this moded apps in your phone, like lucky patcher. Play store will detect it or automatically disable it. I think Huawei will be exempted, if not Huawei will be force to release harmony os, which will bring competition.

Chinese people are United, so they hate to see thier companies crumble unlike Nigeria, that's why Chinese government got angry and threatened to sanction Qualcomm, apple and Cisco just because of Huawei. So they can do anything for thier country.

if China can build thier spaceships from scratch, after America banned them, from joining thier international space center, and now there are the only country that has landed at the far side of the moon. Then they can do anything
my opinion tho

It is not that simple to relaese HarmonyOS, if it was that easy, they would have done so and window mobile OS would still be alive today.
Huawei needs apps developers on baord and apps gallery is the answer, with the rumor of app gallery merger going round and the body language of huawei, it is obvious something is fishy and the longtime game is to finally divert all of them to work with Harmony OS which is what Google is against.

However, lets wait and see what's up.

I get your point, but Huawei have already launched harmony os with thier smart tvs last year. Harmony os is not just an ordinary smartphone os. see link
here https://phonemantra. com/huawei-has-released-cheap-smart-tvs-on-its-own-os-harmony-os-without-android/ remove space between . and com

it's an os is that will be used in all thier electronic devices ranging from smart watch, tv, pc, washing machine, phones, fridge etc(iot).

Their plan is to make sure they have enough apps on their app gallery which will be easy for them in a long run.

Huawei would have launched it since in thier smartphone, but they believe in thier friendship with Google.

The problem is how to encourage developers to support it, without apps the OS is dead on arrival.
Sun Tzu states that lay low and work hard until appointed time, that is what Huawei and chinese government are doing.

The plan is to create alternative app store which is already in existence, encourage developers to move on board and then migrate the system to the their own OS. All Chinese phone manufacturers are on board and it is joint work.
They pilot it with shareit app which is joint work btw BBK, Xiaomi, Huawei, Miezu, zte and others
Google is very smart to sniff that out and now they have indirectly join war they were originally against.
it not a war... Google is just protecting it interest... Stop making google look bad

Huh...
But I read up that this new installation izh is more of a privacy feature to grant apps temporary permission instead of an all-time pass to your phone storage and data it doesn't need to read.

In other words, no need to manually revoke permissions for sensitive apps after using them as each app will have its own isolated storage instead of reading the entire filesystem.

I don't see how this issue got anything to do with the trade war, instead I see it for what it is - affecting all Android developers due to slower read/write speeds as some devs reported and adding the new API is a hassle (I don't understand code wella but changing API is one hell of a thing to do).

But do you get trumps perspective on these issues? Trump feels that that America should benefit more from their technology whilst considering the security implications of having critical technology needs in the hands of competitors.
