#HarmonyOS got 330 million installations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS#Market_share. Approximately 1/3 of the users in #China 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_smartphone_penetration. This could cause a wave 
of migrations as soon as available #worldwide 
.The #navigation #apps are (naturally) mostly based on #OpenStreetMap, examples :

Man könnte #Tourismus in #Europa 
etwas attraktiver machen, indem man die Datenbasis* für die meisten #HarmonyOS-apps 
pflegt (#OpenStreetMap). #Handelsblatt : "Die Zahl der Übernachtungen chinesischer #Touristen ist Daten der europäischen Statistikbehörde Eurostat zufolge von 22,2 Millionen auf 1,6 Millionen im Jahr 2021 eingebrochen." https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/tourismus-chinas-touristen-bleiben-fern-so-reagieren-europas-ferienregionen/29154534.html

According to #FinancialTimes sources, #Volkswagen 
is in talks with #Huawei to bring #HarmonyOS * to its cars sold in #China. And given Chinese consumers' strong favor for homegrown technology, it makes a lot more sense... https://www.gsmarena.com/volkswagen_reportedly_in_talks_with_huawei_to_use_harmonyos_for_its_cars_in_china-news-58606.php

#Huawei will continue to “invest tens of thousands of manpower and billions 
of capital each year” in developing #HarmonyOS and #EulerOS, even though the codes for the two operating systems are #OpenSource.

#Huawei sales soared 64%, putting it into second spot ahead of #Apple 
. In 2019/20, #HarmonyOS was seen as a desperate move for survival. #China would like nothing more than breaking apart #US dominance of the #smartphone space https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/03/06/apple-iphone-15-pro-max-and-googles-android-china-problem-vs-huawei/
More than 700 million devices currently run on #HarmonyOS, with more than 2.2 million third-party developers creating apps for the platform. #McDonald’s China is to build apps based on HarmonyOS https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3247172/huaweis-harmonyos-beat-apples-ios-no-2-smartphone-operating-system-china-2024-techinsights-report

@OSM_tourism see https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/osmeditor4android/issues/954 for my 4 year old take why this is unlikely to be a wave.
@simon "In the future, more smart devices will be equipped with #OpenSource #HarmonyOS than ever." https://www.opensourceagenda.com/projects/harmonyos
#OpenHarmony is the most active open source project hosted on the Gitee platform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenHarmony
@OSM_tourism as you can see from the ticket I gave it a good look, but sending detailed personal information to China just so that we can do Huawei a favour is just a NONO.
@simon so where do all the above mentioned apps come from ? And why not hosting a kind of @fdroidorg for #OpenHarmony ?
@OSM_tourism @fdroidorg I assume builds from F-Droid should run fine on Huawei devices as is.
@simon #Android apps will not be compatible with the #HarmonyOS by default, but can be ported to the new operating system with the help of the Ark Compiler. https://www.scmp.com/tech/innovation/article/3022747/heres-what-you-need-know-about-huaweis-ark-compiler-which-can-port
@OSM_tourism I've been running a mirror of nearly all of my github repos on a gitea instance for years (one day I'll get around to allowing issues to be opened there, but you've been able to 1/2 anonymously open issues on our github repo for a long time too).
@fsfe #Rooting the #phoneand installing #FreeSoftware extends the lifespan of the device. Most phone devices are not controlled 
by the users. Through rooting or flashing a device, the user can take complete #control 
over it. https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230807-01.html

@OSM_tourism Isn't OpenStreetMap forbidden in China? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/China#Legality
@karussell we already had a similar thread here https://en.osm.town/@barefootstache/110163601135813317
@OSM_tourism mapping is one thing, but you can't do proper business. I.e. Chinese companies using our services could be fined. E.g. the komoot app is likely not officially there...
@karussell so where do the 11 Mio. installations come from ? https://appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C103465387
@OSM_tourism I think my knowledge regarding the huawei app store was wrong.
@karussell but would be interesting whether Chinese developers may use #OSM (for "homegrown" apps). Or what the alternative should be...
