Zhang Qiaoming of Huawei invited Apple to add an interface and join the Hongmeng ecosystem. “If Apple can add interfaces, we do not exclude any manufacturer from embracing the ecology with us.”
Apple is highly unlikely to work with Huawei today. If DC gives up the war on Huawei, Apple may be well advised to join with the Hongmeng ecosystem in three or four years. Huawei’s goal is for Hongmeng to dominate the ICT world. There’s a long way to go; the programmers’ IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is not yet available.
Harmony/Hongmeng is intended to be much more than a replacement for Android. It will be a complete operating system for everything in your home, office, or car. It will be “The Internet of Everything,” controlled by the Huawei Cloud.
Yu Chengdong. a senior manager, says
We’re entering a day and age where people expect a holistic intelligent experience across all devices and scenarios. To support this, we felt it was important to have an operating system with improved cross-platform capabilities. We needed an OS that supports all scenarios, that can be used across a broad range of devices and platforms, and that can meet consumer demand for low latency and strong security.
HarmonyOS is completely different from Android and iOS. It is a microkernel-based, distributed OS that delivers a smooth experience across all scenarios. It has a trustworthy and secure architecture, and it supports seamless collaboration across devices. You can develop your apps once, then flexibly deploy them across a range of different devices.
Twenty hardware vendors are already signed up. Many more will follow.




Hongmeng is open source, downloadable. Here’s the beginning of the kernel, part of more than a gigabyte of code realeased.
