Is anyone here a developer/has deep understanding of HarmonyOS Next?
I'm trying to understand how viable HarmonyOS NEXT is going to be as a major player outside of China
1. Is there really going to be zero support for android apps? Currently Huawei products are at least useable because of apks (+MicroG and Gspace for apps that need google services). Are developers really going to be willing to develop for a brand new proprietary OS that doesn't have much customers? And google apps won't exist at all. That's unusable for most of the world ex China.
2. What is the potential of HarmonyOS on PC? Are apps developed for HMOS Next going to need separate versions for x86 and ARM PCs? Are phone/tablet apps going to be easily portable to PC? Is it going to be a viable PC OS like MacOS or just something like tablet android?

Somebody has to rip off the bandaid that is google services eventually, might as well do it now. There are more people willing to degoogleify than you might think.

Even Google as search engine is garbage right. If Huawei/Baidu offers an English alternative it will do very well even if it lacks an App Library as comprehensive as Google

HarmonyOS NEXT adopts a new microkernel architecture, showing significant progress in certain dimensions such as post-exploitation inter-module lateral movement, while there is still room for improvement in traditional security aspects, such as memory corruption defense.
huge day for China's software industry as Huawei officially launches HarmonyNext and unveiles its release schedule. Promises huge improvements every year to its software. Production rollout to start in Q4. 900 million harmony devices already exist. top 5000 apps are now in Harmony OS natively
