Free open-source development operating system
HarmonyOS is a free open-source operating system for Android and other devices that enables you to connect and work together with others. It also integrates with other Huawei applications, such as Huawei HiSuite and Huawei App Gallery. Developers can use the studio to create other apps for any platform that hosts the OS.
When it comes to Android smartphones, there are specific tools and functions you can use. There are over 50 components you can use as a developer, which interacts with functions on other devices, such as Smart TVs. You’ll also find sample codes to make your developing life better.
One of the most significant features is the development toolchain. While it lets you work on functions for Android devices, you can also select tools for connecting to Huawei operating systems on Windows, Mac, and other devices. Of course, this application focuses on Android compatibility and tools.
Development Toolchain
Range of components
There are over 50 components and units available on HarmonyOS. For the standard Huawei Android owner, it merely means simplicity in design and gives you access to app galleries and tools. For developers, it entails an entire suite for creating new applications.
Device and app integration
Another essential function is how HarmonyOs lets your Android smartphone connect to other Huawei OS devices. If you have a Smart TV with this operating system, linking to it and the appropriate apps are as easy as the tap of an icon. You can also access other Huawei-related applications on your phone.
Emulator simulations
The testing environment in this app is only applicable to developers. If you’re working on a computer, you can use HarmonyOS to simulate an Android smartphone on your Windows or Mac device. In this way, you can test new features or tools you’re creating before making them available in the Huawei app store.
Develop apps for Huawei devices
While HarmonyOS might be the standard operating system for general smartphone owners, it does more for developers. It lets you create apps for the environment, while also connecting to other devices that have the same technology.
