Guaranteeing these numbers and establishing partnerships with developers, in fact, is the objective of what Huawei has defined as the second phase of the HarmonyOS Next project. According to the director of Huawei’s devices and cloud department, Zhu Yonggang, now that the operating system is approaching its stable phase, the idea is to ensure its growth and support the most popular technologies.

Expectations are high. The manufacturer believes that it will be able to train more than 100,000 software developers Software per month, as well as setting aside prizes exceeding billions of dollars for its Shining Star program. The initiative, in 2024, will be focused on projects focused on the environment and native software solutions in HarmonyOS Next, as well as the production of SDKs and services added to the operating system.

The plans are even more ambitious, with the Huawei executive speaking of over 500,000 requests for the platform in the near future, without citing deadlines. For comparison, the Google It took Android’s Play Store just over two years to reach this milestone, while iPhone’s App Store achieved it in just over four years. Meanwhile in the Chinese market there are those who say that the new platform could do it surpass iOS by the end of the year.

Huawei moves further away from Android

The manufacturer’s enthusiasm and investment in HarmonyOS Next are fully justifiable thanks to its character. The new operating system is independent and developed with a focus on the Chinese market, leaving aside the Android basics to concentrate on its own development and focus on the brand’s ecosystem.

This initiative originates in 2019, when the then President of the United States, Donald Trump, began to accuse the company of representing a risk to the security of the country and imposed a series of sanctions. Given the difficulty of working with American companies – such as Google -, Huawei needed to follow a path of autonomy.

HarmonyOS was originally developed as a system for televisions, cars, watches and Internet of Things devices. The bad news, however, meant that it was promoted to a mobile operating system; THE first public version it was launched just three months after the first sanctions against Huawei, building on work underway since 2012.

The platform has since received updates and, according to Huawei, is already used on more than 800 million devices. The current version, however, still relies on Android’s open source libraries, which motivates the Next version, which is expected to rely only on resources and technologies from the same Chinese brand.
