The trade wars between the USA and China have put the technology company Huawei in trouble the most. Huawei, which was once among the best in the smartphone market with its high-end smartphones, fell into a difficult situation after the separation with Google. Unable to use Google-owned services such as the Play Store, Huawei found a solution in its new operating system called HarmonyOS.
Huawei kept saying that HarmonyOS is not an Android-based operating system. But the facts were not like that. Because HarmonyOS could run APK extension files, which are part of the Android ecosystem and enable the installation of applications. The latest news reveals that this will change very soon.
Software developers who can develop HarmonyOS-based applications are valuable
According to the information obtained, software developers who develop HarmonyOS-based applications, especially in China, have started to gain value. The investigations reveal that job search platforms serving across the country are taking action for HarmonyOS expert software developers. Of course, even Huawei went after software developers who would work for HarmonyOS. So why was such an effort made when HarmonyOS can run APK?
HarmonyOS Next is coming
Huawei talked about its new operating system, called “HarmonyOS Next”, at the developer conference events it held at the beginning of this year. This operating system, which can be described as the next generation version of HarmonyOS, has not been explained in detail. However, according to claims by sources close to Huawei, HarmonyOS Next would appear as an operating system that would not include Android libraries.
Moreover, there have been developments that support these claims. A few months ago, demo videos about HarmonyOS Next were shared on China’s social media platform Weibo. In videos served by popular leak sources and developers, the demo version of HarmonyOS Next was shown, and this operating system was no longer running APK files. So yes, Huawei started to make HarmonyOS an operating system in its own right, rather than a clone of the Android ecosystem. All of these have made HarmonyOS software developers valuable.
