Internet companies such as Netease, Meituan, etc. in China have started hiring software developers that will work on "Harmony native apps" which will no longer be compatible with Android.
Huawei has made it public in the HDC Together event in Aug this year that the company is starting to grow the native software ecosystem for its HarmonyOS.
For the time being the consumers are still getting phones with a "dual-framework" OS that has a compatible layer for Android apps. Meanwhile the latest SDKs for third party software vendors only have the Harmony native layer. The HarmonyOS Next edition, currently in preview and will be released to all developers in January, will have 40% less code after having the Android layer removed.
According to zhaopin.com, an online recruitment platform, on average Harmony related software positions pay 17537 yuans per month and it is rising still. The highest pay from Meituan for architect positions on Harmony even reaches 60000 yuans per month.
鸿蒙与安卓“硬分叉”,操作系统新生态的又一记胎动
有媒体近日发现,网易、美团等多家互联网公司开始发布与鸿蒙系统有关的岗位招聘,加强鸿蒙原生应用的开发。
智联招聘平台显示,今年1月份-10月份,鸿蒙相关岗位的平均招聘薪资达17537元/月。随着市场大规模招聘开启,相关岗位薪酬还在上涨。其中,美团对鸿蒙基建工程师岗位给出的月薪最高已达6万元。
针对这一消息,有华为内部人士对媒体表示,今后,鸿蒙将与安卓应用形成“硬分叉”,“随着华为启动鸿蒙原生应用,目前App的安卓版本部分已与鸿蒙不兼容,未来鸿蒙入口将独立存在。”
其实,子弹已经飞了一会儿。
所谓“华为启动鸿蒙原生应用”的消息,在今年8月的华为开发者大会(HDC.Together)上就早已发布过。
“今天,所有的消费者拿到的仍然是一个双框架(鸿蒙+安卓)的手机,但是所有的开发者伙伴们,你们拿到的其实已经是单框架(鸿蒙)的手机了,”华为终端云服务总裁朱勇刚当时在鸿蒙生态峰会上公开表示。
