Huawei AppGallery flaw allegedly allows anyone to download paid apps for free

19 May 2022
The company has known for months and is yet to do anything about the situation.

Anders, 19 May 2022Don't worry. No one's using Huawei anymore. Even ... morelol, Huawei isn't going anywhere. In fact they'll bounce back soon. They're the best among the Chinese companies & i fully support them for their continued innovations in the smartphone industry.

Haters gonna hate, but in the end a good product is always going to sell.

    Although a flaw, it isn't something someone can mistakenly do. It has to be done deliberately & with some technical knowledge of how to do it. Which means it doesn't really make a difference to legit app buyers.

    As for those who don't want to pay for the apps, they won't bother wasting time & effort to get these apps this cumbersome way & instead resort to the thousands of websites which distribute paid (cracked) apps freely. They works just the same.

    What I'm saying is that Huawei should certainly fix this issue, but In the meantime it doesn't really make a noticeable difference to the app developers.

                    People buy Xiaomi and Realme anyway. But if you want the best of best you should buy Samsung. It is greatly improved.

                      Don't worry. No one's using Huawei anymore. Even in China their sales are collapsing. Good riddance. Awful company that clearly doesn't even respect the app devs who stuck with them

                        In business way, that's very unprofessional from Huawei. Not resolving the issue for months from then and letting developers to suffer. What's even worse is that Huawei is alerted about the issue.
