It was originally made for older Huawei phones that didn't come with Google Services pre-installed due to being the Chinese variant.

Why don't just Huwaei sell mate30pro with bootloader unlocked version with warranty only for the hardware and no warranty for software. So you can install whatever you want that way. Then watch global sales go 3 digit :)

Well done, Trump. But we will still NOT buy your crap american Apple Iphone, okey?
Huawei will be better without google, yes it can be in 2021, not 2020, but they will be better without google. And you and every communication and or smartphone company in the world will cry.

Anonymous, 02 Oct 2019Samsungs fans rejoicing like little kids lolAlways one. Please grow up, everyone has a choice whether it be Samsung, Apple,Sony,Huawei et al.
I choose Samsung because it offers the best balance of functionality and design, even though the design isn't great, it's better than some.
I don't choose Apple because of its restrictive ways and lack of ability to Bluetooth files from iPhones to Android devices. If it did then I'd probably change, it's not going to change anytime soon, so I will be staying firmly in the Android camp.

I don't even have money to buy another phone.. Please do not do this cruelty to my phone... Spare my phone please..... :(

"However, this method comes with a risk, according to developer John Wu because it relies on Huawei's undocumented MDM API so the workaround is no longer an option"
We all knew this since XDA Developer published the article below 2 weeks ago.
https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-mate-30-google-play-store-challenges/
It literally says: "I’ve seen talk about a “Google Service Assistant” application that, upon inspection, seems to use Huawei enterprise APIs to install Google Play apps and services"
