Huawei Thursday held the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) in China and the major highlight of the event was the announcement that HarmonyOS apps have reached 134,000. The company also disclosed that over 4 million developers have enlisted on the platform.

The Chinese tech giant also announced an upgraded HMS Core 6.0 during the event. HMS Core has several tools that will assist app developers to develop apps for the Huawei ecosystem. The tool includes a complete set of open HMS Apps and HMS Core, HMS Capabilities, HMS Connect, as well IDE tools for development and testing. HM Core 4.0 was only launched in January 2020 but by June of last year, the company released an upgraded HMS 5.0. One year after an even higher Core 6.0 is now official, obviously coming with several upgrades.

The speed at which the company is releasing the upgrades is an indication of its desire to grow the Huawei ecosystem which is key to the success of the HarmonyOS. The presence of 134,000 apps makes HMS the third-largest in the world after the Google Play Store and Apple’s app store.

One way Huawei was able to bring onboard over 4,000,000 developers is through offering several incentives. The company is sustaining this with the global launch of the 2021 Huawei HMS Global Application Innovation Competition. Huawei hopes to continue to attract developers and inspire greater innovation, create more beauty, and build a smart ecology of the devices covered by HMS.

In addition, the 2021 Huawei HMS Global Application Innovation Competition has a special award for women in science and technology to encourage outstanding female developers and teams.
