The brave new world of the Huawei divorce from Google - HMS and beyond!
summary
Huawei is replacing GMS with HMS and pushing apps into App Gallery deployments increasing, with Huawei offering app, media, graphics and cloud equivalents while losing some Goolge services like satellite and full Firebase parity. Expect engineering costs: dual builds, extra testing and store listings, and potential data migration headaches; 70% of devices used GMS until the split. Harmony OS migration is possible later this year and DevEco Studio is Windows-only, increasing friction for current Mac/Linux Android developers.
