Moments like this I wish I had gone with Huawei instead of HONOR. I made the choice initially because HONOR is a state owned company, and the thought of potential SWRC or something like that being practiced seemed cool. But on the other hand I really want to promote HarmonyOS.
Is that an Android fork or something new developed from scratch?
As I recall it’s forked from Android originally, but they’ve diverged quite a bit at this point.
Why reinvent the Weel Android has the potential to be the most Secure OS.
compared to iOS, sure, but hardly the most secure of all operating systems
Wouldnt it make more sense to keep Android App Compatibility? I dont really see any good reson to not still support apks.
I mean, they are searching for almost full disassociation from android at this point, so I don’t see why they would seek that. Pretty sure once they fully port the biggest apps used by chinese netizens (微信，微博，小红书, etc.) people won’t care about apks.
With something like the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, you can run sandboxed Play Store apps using their GBox store. They also have their own app store, App Gallery (I think that’s the name) which have quite a number of apps already.
There is another Play Store sandbox app store too, I think it works well enough from what I read.
I have a device I could run the dev version of HarmonyOS on, I was thinking about how it would be nice to develop for it.
I won’t be able to though because I can’t code :/
You can learn if you can set aside some time to do it. It’s also not a bad thing to learn how to code if you really want to do it.
I’m more in the data analysis side. Bioinformatics and all that jazz, I have a bit if python and scripting under my belt and I’ve struggled to learn more.
Your suggestion has been laid in my mind and hatched. I will do my best cde to make you proud 🫡
