We’re excited to announce V-Key’s support for Huawei’s HarmonyOS NEXT, a major leap in mobile security and innovation. This major update reflects our commitment to leading the charge in mobile security and technological innovation. Built on Huawei’s independent Hongmeng kernel, HarmonyOS NEXT represents a major shift from its predecessors, which were based on Android’s framework. This independent platform highlights Huawei’s goal of creating a self-sufficient app ecosystem.
V-Key’s Strategic Support in Leading the Way
At V-Key, we’re excited to align with Huawei’s visionary leap. Our support for HarmonyOS NEXT will initially focus on integrating our V-OS App Protection and V-OS Smart Token SDKs. This strategic choice underscores our commitment to providing top-notch security in this new environment.
HarmonyOS NEXT and Its Strategic Shift
Huawei’s transition to HarmonyOS NEXT is a strategic move towards building a unique and independent app ecosystem. By moving away from Android compatibility, it encourages developers to create apps specifically for HarmonyOS NEXT, fostering a new generation of applications within Huawei’s ecosystem.
Upcoming Developments for V-Key Clients with the HarmonyOS NEXT
We’re preparing for an alpha release of our SDKs for HarmonyOS NEXT in Q4 of 2024. This will allow our partners and clients to begin integrating and testing our security solutions in their HarmonyOS NEXT apps ahead of the broader rollout. Contact your account manager to discuss how this new support might impact your agreements and explore new opportunities.
Impact on the Mobile Landscape
HarmonyOS NEXT aims to build a unique app ecosystem that is independent of Android, and promoting the development of HarmonyOS-only apps. This could enhance device performance, integration across IoT devices, and expand application options.
At V-Key, we remain committed to providing comprehensive security solutions across all major platforms, including iOS and Android.
