Huawei has launched HMS Core Services 4.0 which promises to bring efficient application development, rapid growth, and flexible monetization. Let's take a close look at HMS core services and see how they help developers.
Huawei Mobile Services Core (HMS) Development Forums
HMS Core Services 4.0 includes the following features:
Some of these services may seem familiar to you, as a number of them date back many years. Features like Account Kit have had time to mature and be polished with many updates. Other services like Location Kit and Analytics Kit and newer and have only been around since late 2019. The latest release of 4.0 includes ML Kit, Awareness Kit, Scan Kit, Nearby Service, as well as all the features shown in the graphic above. Huawei still plans on adding many more features in future updates.
So why would a developer want to choose HMS over GMS? HMS Core's service scope already encompasses most of the services in GMS Core. Huawei has also been a little bolder in exploring new terrain where GMS hasn't bothered to venture. For instance, with HUAWEI ML Kit, HMS Core is a step ahead of GMS Core in providing machine learning capabilities. Although Google has cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities, it has not yet added machine learning to GMS Core.
These are some of the ways that HMS 4.0 is helping developers, and offering an alternative solution to GSM.

Security is an important aspect of anything that gets used by anyone, at any given moment around the world. For developers of applications that get purchased through a digital storefront, like Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, making sure that it’s not easy, next to impossible in fact, to steal apps and put them on a device free-of-charge is just as important. But, as WPCentral reports, it looks like the Digital Rights Management (DRM) security tools set in place by Microsoft have been cracked!

Fortunately, though, the program that is being used to do so is not known to the general public. In point of fact, the “white hat” developer that created it is just showing it as a proof of concept. If the program were to make it out into the world, then it would be possible for some people out there to strip the DRM from applications available in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, and then download them for free.
As of the time of this writing, Microsoft hasn’t made an official comment regarding the security hole. WPCentral has been in contact with Brandon Watson from Microsoft, but so far they have not heard back from him. The video demonstrating the proof of concept program making short work of DRM for the Windows Phone 7 applications can be viewed below.

I hope they fix this security hole soon. I'm not even a developer and I see this as a really big problem for the WP7 platform. I'm sure iPhone and Android developers do not have to be as worried about pirating only because the volume of paying customers is so much higher. With a much smaller customer base, anything that would discourage a WP7 developer from developing for the platform is bad for WP7.
Note: Shouldn't this be posted in the WP7 General forum? It has nothing to do with HD7.
is this video realy evidense that this is working?
Hi guys,
I posted several months ago about a program called Zazu Alarms. Since then, we have been hard at work at polishing the program and releasing it on new platforms. Zazu is an application that knows you. It reads your weather, your schedule, your local deals, your news, and more!
Today, we are proud to announce that Zazu Mornings is now available on iOS (iPhone/iPad), Blackberry, and Android. You can download it from our website, and be sure to check us out on facebook, and twitter!
Here is some more information about Zazu:
. Ever woken up wondering what’s in store for the day? We all suffer from this digital dependency that drives how we make decisions, who we meet, what we buy and even how we feel.
. We live a world where we rely on unintelligent apps to tell us what’s next. The mail app only shows you mail, the calendar app only shows you the day’s meetings; the maps application still doesn’t know you’re heading to your next meeting. It’s like having an assistant who can only do one thing at a time.
. Zazu provides integrated access to your personal information, helping you make informed decisions. We integrate with your calendar, weather, traffic, news, and internet content that’s most important to you. Instead of just giving you one piece of data, we intelligently layer it together, helping you spend less time forging through different apps.
. Our technology should work for us and we don’t believe it’s too much to ask for. It’s time for apps to become smarter. It’s time to think less and do more.
Thanks for taking the time to check this out, and please feel free to try it out (Android and iOS versions are free!) and post your feedback here. We love feedback
Happy Zazu'ing!

Context:
• Genuine Play Store reviews are getting deleted by Google assuming it as fake!
References:
• Google Updates Play Store Developer Program Policy to Combat Incentivized Ratings and Reviews
• Google Play is Hit with a New Wave of Fake Reviews
Things didn't really change in 2 years (at least) and I think this deserves a thread on XDA. Of course all devs are concerned but users too! You will understand why in a few minutes...
◘ My experience
In the Dev Console we can choose to receive email notifications when a new review is available. That's what I always do to give a quick answer if necessary.
In the emails from Google we have the rating and the comment but not the name of the person who posted the review.
Right after receiving this email I go to the dev console to check if the review is still there. It's not unusual that the review has already been removed by Google. It simply disappeared from the dev console and for everyone.
Actually things aren't that simple...
1. Sometimes the review is removed a few hours later.
2. I said that the review is no longer available in the dev console and it doesn't appear in the public version of the Google Play Store. However even if the review is removed for the rest of the world, the user who posted the review still sees his message! Here is why Google is misleading and deceitful.
◘ What can we do as developers/users?
We can try to complain about Google's algorithm (until things are fixed).
FYI data are sometimes not relevant in the dev console, there are several bugs including with Adwords platform... and Google's support is useless (the quality of their answers is really poor).
And some folks trust them to control their cars, manage all their digital lifes...
Some users of my apps and myself tried to contact Google's support. They are sorry if we have a bad experience with their products and services (LMAO) but the control of reviews is managed by their "Ratings and Comments team". Do you know what? We can't contact them and we can't have any answers from them.
◘ Closing words
Independant devs are working hard (sometimes several hours a day) to publish great apps with regular updates and all this may look like a losing battle.
Moreover Google tries to fight fake reviews. Since fake reviews means 5 stars you can imagine that 90% of our removed reviews are positive...
Support your devs and post genuine reviews to help and motivate them!
If you have more information on this matter then please share.
Thank you.

What is Google AER？Bob Borchers, the vice president of marketing at Google, said: “Android is not just the leading choice for consumers but for businesses all around the world. We offer an amazing way of choice and diversity, so you can find the device that´s perfect for your business needs. But with so many options we wanted to make it even easier for businesses to select exactly the right Android device. So earlier this year we launched Android enterprise recommended program which sets a new standard for excellence in enterprise devices.”
Borchers said: “we’re excited that the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are the latest devices to join the Android Enterprise Recommended program.” Both Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro have been AER certified.
With the launch of the new EMUI9.0 system, Huawei Terminal built the enterprise mobile office solution and the entire ecosystem in the enterprise mobile office field for the first time.
Collaboration with top EMM vendors will result in a more secure and efficient enterprise mobile office solution than traditional MDM. This means that customers who choose the Mate 20 series will enjoy the mature Huawei+EMM enterprise mobile office solution, without worrying that their mobile office requirements cannot be met.. Security, efficiency and innovation are the focus of Huawei's terminal enterprise mobile office.
Complete solutions and complete ecosystems, covering a wide range of industries including corporate, government, finance, education, logistics, retail, and services. No matter which industry you work in, Huawei terminals can be your best work partner.
Fuchsia is a capability-based operating system currently being developed by Google. It first became known to the public when the project appeared on GitHub in August 2016 without any official announcement. In contrast to prior Google-developed operating systems such as Chrome OS and Android, which are based on Linux kernels, Fuchsia is based on a new microkernel called "Zircon".
Upon inspection, media outlets noted that the code post on GitHub suggested Fuchsia's capability to run on universal devices, from embedded systems to smartphones, tablets and personal computers. In May 2017, Fuchsia was updated with a user interface, along with a developer writing that the project was not a "dumping ground of a dead thing", prompting media speculation about Google's intentions with the operating system, including the possibility of it replacing Android.
It is distributed as free and open-source software under a mix of software licenses, including BSD 3 clause, MIT, and Apache 2.0.

It's been quite some time since we've heard anything about Google's Fuchsia OS project. The search giant is keeping the lid on the whole endeavor. Still, the odd public official mention here and there and the activity on the Fuchsia repository do signify that the project is alive and work on it is ongoing behind the scenes.
In a new development, a path was spotted on said repository, adding support for the Kirin 970 chipset and detailing test for booting the Zircon kernel on the Honor Play, based on said chipset.
Looking at the patch and its meta data a bit closer shows that the owner (as in the project management meaning of the therm) is one Murali S R with a huawei.com email. This is a clear indication of some sort of cooperation between Google and Huawei on this matter, as opposed to Google simply testing things internally on its own.

I've been following Fuchsia Project for quite some time now. This is a welcome development from Huawei and Google.
