Huawei post google plans with release HMS Core 4.0

Huawei has informed further details about its replacements to google services as it prepares to lose access following US sanctions. During London event, the Huawei made its pitch as to why developers should port their apps to HMS (Huawei Mobile Services).

The first reason is a cash incentive. Huawei announced that it will use a pot of £20 million to help persuade developers to bring their apps to HMS.

Anson and MD of Huawei, said: “We have announced our £20+ million investment plan to incentivize our partners, so that we can build brilliant ecosystem together.”

Huawei claims it has already witnessed substantial growth in the number of developers supporting their platform. The company says around 50,000+ apps have now signed up to the free HMS Core.

Rather than simply pitch HMS as a replacement for Google’s services, Huawei is keen to highlight ways in which it improves over the previous solution.
