- Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps.
- Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate.
- One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection.
OpenHarmony exists too you know & it’s being actively maintained. That or We maintain AOSP ourselves.
Reminder OpenHarmony is the AOSP equivalent to HarmonyOS & is maintained by the OpenAtom foundation
ok. but isn’t HarmonyOS as a whole a lot younger? why is it a better choice?
Because it’s not being railroaded by it’s owner unlike Android
we have platforms like that already. several mobile linux distributions, sailfish, whatever. what is the advantage of harmony os? android (as in AOSP) is much more mature all around, the bad parts need to be patched out but then its pretty good. why choose harmony os and leave behind android instead?
Oh my god this person. If google completely closed up Android, then you’d need a mobile friendly OS alternative. I’m fine with linux, but it’s gonna take a while to catch up. So meanwhile… get it ?
