Financial Union News Agency, January 5 (Reporter Tang Zhixiao)Recently, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei end point BG and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, proposed in the 2024 New Year’s letter to open a new decade of Huawei end point future development.
He specifically mentioned that to build a strong Hongmeng ecosystem in the future, 2024 is a crucial year for the development of native Hongmeng applications, and will accelerate the development of various Hongmeng native applications.
It is reported that on January 18, Huawei will hold an important event of Hongmeng, which will reveal the new chapter of Hongmeng ecology and HarmonyOS NEXT.
According to Huawei’s public information at the press conference, Hongmeng native application ecological construction has been fully launched, and HarmonyOS NEXT will remove the traditional Linux kernel and AOSP code, and will no longer be compatible with Android applications.
At present, a number of domestic enterprises have started the research and development of Hongmeng applications, many of whichApps under big companies such as Meituan.
In addition, Huawei chose to cooperate with universities to launch OpenHarmony-related courses; some companies aimed at this trend and launched Hongmeng ecological development courses. Some industry developers said that now Hongmeng end point has reached 700 million, it is hard to imagine that developers will ignore such a huge market.
The ecological construction of "Pure Blood Hongmeng" is particularly important
At the Hongmeng Developer Conference, Huawei revealed that the Hongmeng base has more than 100 million lines of code, 20,000 APIs, and 700 million ecological devices. HarmonyOS has undergone four major iterations. For Hongmeng, the most important thing at the moment is to build an independent application ecosystem that is not attached to the application.
According to incomplete statistics from Starmine, there are,,,,,,,The business scope of 19 other companies covers Hongmeng,And so on Hongmeng ecological related business.
Among them, Hong Kong-listed company Chinasoft International participated in the development of Hongmeng and HMS, and provided IT services for them. According to the company’s annual report, in the HMS 4.0 stage, the company participated in 17 of Huawei’s 25 HMS planning capabilities, which can be said to be the core supplier of HMS.
In addition to its own "hematopoietic", what is more critical to the development of Hongmeng’s ecosystem is the adaptation with external third-party enterprises.
New Consumer Daily reporters have sorted out according to public information, and at least 36 applications have either started or completed the adaptation to Hongmeng’s ecosystem, coveringCatering, finance, information, and other categories, the detailed list is as follows:
"Huawei is betting that developers will not ignore the huge number of devices in the Hongmeng ecosystem," a mobile end app developer told the New Consumer Daily. "But at the same time, we need to face up to the fact that it will take a lot of energy to redevelop the original Hongmeng app, or to maintain and update the app later. Big companies follow up faster, and small factories and independent developers may move a little slower."
Aiming at the development gap of Hongmeng, universities and enterprises will fail
According to public data, 2.2 million HarmonyOs developers have invested in the development of Hongmeng Ecosystem.It is said that the Hongmeng market space is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan.
A Hongmeng ecological insider said that there is currently a shortage of development talents in Hongmeng, while Android development talents are relatively surplus. The treatment of technical personnel who master Hongmeng is better than that of Android developers, which makes many developers willing to transfer to Hongmeng development.
In November 2023, Huawei announced the establishment of the OpenHarmony Technology Club with universities, positioning it as a university community organization. At present, 23 985 universities and 46 211 universities across the country are offering or will soon offer Hongmeng-related courses.
In addition, Huawei has long been involved inThe Industry-University Cooperation and Collaborative Education Project under the guidance of the Ministry of Higher Education only records the Hongmeng-related courses established since 2021, involving more than 150 course projects in more than 100 universities. And the number of projects approved in 2021, 2022, and 2023 is 20, 65, and 68 respectively.
There are also many companies targeting the Hongmeng ecological developer training market, such asand…
Among them, on the interactive platform, it said that the company is a resident unit of Huawei Developer Alliance Academy, which jointly cultivates Hongmeng ecological talents, and has won honors such as "2023 Huawei Developer Alliance Hongmeng Ecological Talent Development Award".
The investment platform said: "The company has Hongmeng development courses, and Hongmeng hardware/courses have been added to the two disciplines of" integrated circuit application development (including embedded) "and" HTML & JS + front-end ". The course" HarmonyOS 4.0 Introduction to Development Practical Tutorial "has been launched on Bilibili."
Previously, it launched the first "Standard Edition of Hongmeng Application Development Learning Roadmap" on the whole network, covering software and hardware development courses, consistent with Huawei’s official website, and joining the actual combat of real business line projects. The training course will start in Beijing in February this year.
The two companies also stressed that at present, Hongmeng Ecology is still in the development stage, and the impact on the industry and the company needs to be gradually revealed in the future development process.
Major General Ding, founder of Nail Technology, told the New Consumer Daily reporter that the larger the scale of the equipment carried by the Hongmeng system, the greater its ecological value and the higher the barrier to competition. Hongmeng’s openness and professionalism give it better room for growth.
