Comment on Huawei wants to take HarmonyOS smartphone platform worldwide
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 2 months agoIt started as a fork of Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but with latest HarmonyOS NEXT version they removed AOSP compatibility layer and moved to using their own SDK. I suspect the actual API is similar (it’s of course proprietary), so porting shouldn’t be very hard, but it’s still a chore, so it will be interesting to see if western companies decide it’s worth their time.

in a perfect world, there would be a common platform for apps and then any os could use that platform to run the apps. more mobile operating systems could exist as they aren’t forgotten because of bad app availability. devs would only have to maintain one version of the app. but i know nothing about programming, probably impossible.
