          If ARK OS is compatible with .APK files, that'll be their saving grace.

That's a Google-less Android that operates off of Lineage, F-Droid, and uses Cloud-based secure servers to make sure your data is kept private. I'm currently helping them out in their Community Forums. I'd love for that OS to take off.

And it's unknown if Play store can be installed in Ark OS. Sure that it'll not be there as default but if the apps are compatible in theory it should works too.

                In any case this OS will be very wellcome. And probably even one or two more could be perfect as alternatives in the future. But perhaps if it's good and sure that Open Source, other chinese an Asian brands will jump the ship. At least for use it on that market and Europe. Even better let the customer choose to install the one preferred. The best will be that i'm sure that Ark OS or HongMeng will be running on RISC-V asap too. Something i doubt we will watch on Android in a long long time.

                  I counted 25 friends of mine with Android devices. Only one knows what's *.apk (and he is an IT guy).

                    Wow, I love Huawei so very much because they are very serious company experimenting and innovating so many things. But I was worried their great exploit is bringing fear and panic to US. Every country feels safe and happy about their exploit only America is not comfortable. I was even more worried when Google also picked up a fight with them, but now I have hope again. I 100% believe Huawei can stand this trying time and I believe they can bring much powerful Operating System unto the market. Huawei more life to you. We are behind you. I know you can surprise this world. Your restless time and sleepless night of research will bring great things into the world.

                        However, to keep the subject - they are not so many apps able to give "free" driving directions + traffic. Remember, Waze belongs to Google and Here doesn't offer satisfactory live traffic re-routing.

It'll be interestig if Google change their code to not allow it... allthough any additional service will be anyways money for them... so... we will see what win... the reason and money profit or the rage becouse Ark OS is a better and faster operating system and can run Android apps too.

                                For now they clearly want to offer an ecosystem too so it'll take a bit more but it'll be arrive globally anyways sooner than later.

                                  this will be an intriguing development. Hope its good. Without google play, hopefully we will still be allowed to side load the apps via alternative methods (downloading the .apk lol) etc.
