@@RarelyCorrectNo, they don’t. Had they used a Linux kernel, still probably no but less so. Had they open sourced it, giving non-Chinese developers some ability to influence decisions around things like feature updates and breaking changes and the like, then maybe (probably not but maybe). As it stands, developing for Harmony OS is guaranteed to be a living nightmare. You’d be dealing with constant breaking changes from bug fixes made necessary by the novel kernel. Stability issues will be a constant problem. You’ll spend a bunch of time attempting to fix stability issues, more than half of which will turn out to be beyond your control as they’ll stem from some problem with the kernel. You’ll never be sure if a bug is on your end or theirs. Half the fixes you make will end up breaking your app on the next update as they fix kernel bugs. Due to the “super app” phenomenon in China, Harmony maintainers will focus on catering to the needs of a (relative) handful of big app developers. This will lead to a development ecosystem poorly suited to the needs of developers outside of China & that goes triple for small, non-Chinese devs. As a developer, you’re expected to deal with all of this and make the switch for what? So your app can be available on a platform no one in your country uses? The future possibility of sales to ppl who accidentally buy a harmony OS device thinking it’s like android, who buy your app before they realize their mistake & return it in exchange for a device that has “their apps?” You’re mistaken. You clearly don’t know enough about this to warrant an opinion. There have been plenty of competitors to android & iOS who thought just as you do. They made sure their alternative OS had access to those few dozen core apps. Not one of them succeeded. When asked why they switched back to iOS or android rather than buying another device running the alternative OS, wanna know customers’ number one cited reason? Lack of available apps. It’s been tried, many times. It won’t work outside of China.
