I recently upgraded to the P40 Pro and gave my P30 Pro to my other half and saw the news recently about the temporary licence ending. Will the P30 Pro still be supported with future updates, security updates etc?

I've done a bit of digging around on the interweb and from what I've seen Huawei will keep providing software and security updates, irregardless of the licence ending.
yeah ive also had a look into this and seems complete clickbait, all updates and GMS etc will continue to function and work as normal. All media falseness

You're spot on. I literally just upgraded some apps using Petal Search on my P40 Pro.

Hello guys,
I am new to this forum and new to messing with my android device. After my awesome HTC One M7 I am moving to Xiaomi Mi Note PRO.
I am getting it on Monday and would like to know what should I do first? I read somewhere that I need to install google services and google store but is that it?
Should I used the fact that I am getting it without anything installed and do more things to unlock it's true potential? like rooting it or changing ROM? (I am not familiar with any of this but want to learn).
Any advice welcome and appreciate any links as I want to read and learn.
Thanks,
Suporex
I ordered my Xiaomi Mi Note Pro from oppomart.com. I had some issues trying to setup the device with a sim. I had to skip that step during the step-up process and add the sim card later, which worked.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the device DID come with the google play store, so I could download all the google apps I needed, like gmail, maps, youtube, and play music.
I love the build quality of this phone. It feels and looks very premium, which makes me want to use it all the time.
Hello
Few days ago my google play store account has showed the emui update (2,9 mb) for huawei p10. Interesting, when Huawei corp. has begun upload their updates on google play store? If updates, normally appears inside the phone.
I guess, this update looks as fake. Is it true?
That is a link of this update

This is an update for the update app. Not fake.
as @nmlng said, it's real.
Huawei uploaded their apps to the play store years ago for better update possibilities, since they are too lazy to make frequent system updates.
Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about buying a Mate 20 in China soon and am wondering about any experiences with installing the Play Store and Play Services? There's a similar thread for the Mate 20 Pro here, stating that it works smoothly for most users: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/help/google-play-store-chinese-variant-t3861639/page4
But since a few people seemed to have problems, I'd like to hear about your experiences specifically with the Mate 20 (NOT Pro).
Any tips are appreciated!
Dear XDAers,
I'd like to answer my own topic for all of you guys who search for this in the future:
I went to a store and tried to download/install Play Store on the device. While Play Store can easily be downloaded from the AppGallery, it wouldn't open, probably due to lack of the Play Services. Thus I experienced the same behaviour as described in the link above for Mate 20 Pro.
I purchased a Mate 20. The device I purchased actually came with Play Services pre-installed. After downloading the Play Store from AppGallery, it worked right away, completely hassle-free
So all of you looking for buying a Mate 20 in China and using Google stuff, don't worry, it works right from the box!
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
After the last two day's news, I'm thinking about what should I do.
Should I sell It and buy a more "future proof" cellphone?
Should I keep It, and install all the future updates that I dont know where they will bring me (HongMeng? An Android without PlayStore)?
Should I keep It and don't install any fookin thing, and use It as a Android 9 until It die (my last phone was a LG, I'm completely used to be without the latest security and system updates)?
About the phone, I got a black 8gb 256gb version and I'm completely lovin' it.
One thing I've already decided: I will retire Gmail and Chrome, and start using ProtonMail and Firefox.

Huawei was already issued a 90 day temporary operation license of sorts so i'm sure within these 90 days, they'd work something out with the US government.
There will always be security updates. How it 'used' to work is, Google used to provide security patches to these companies like a month before they make it public on AOSP. So the only difference now would be that security updates will be released slower than before, maybe a month or two delay? Just my opinion on it. I personally have done some thinking and i've decided to stick to my P30 Pro.
My updates are still coming in

stick with it unless you wont get updates anymore or blocked to use google apps and services why are you worried about the future of your phone? even worst case scenario huawei may unlock the bootloader of the phone and as they announced they are working on their own operating system. the only affected mobile about the ban news is for future huawei phones the current ones and old ones will still work as a normal phone as it should be

Current devices are all supported. There's no need for panic. Only future devices will be effected.

Maybe they won't be affected. We have to remeber that Trump is going to make a huge lost of money in USA tech industries. How many dollars Microsoft, Google, Intel and others will lose? Something will happen and there won't be issues in the future.

I think the best way is to sit tight and wait what happens. This ban clearly is a political move to flex some muscle. They will come up with a solution. Just look at the market share of Huawei. If they stop making business with us companies a lot of them will be in severe trouble. Also Google has no interest since Samsung and Huawei are the reason why Android is competing with iOS. If they cut off Huawei and force them to develop their own tech (OS and hardware) they will come back even stronger independent on the Americans. There is a well written article on BBC for more detail.
Sit tight, wait what happens. Don't make a rushed decision that loses you money (selling it now for less than u paid for.)

Trump will make Huawei great again and again.
Emui10 upgrade will still be there.

I'll buy your phone for 300$.
Hope so. Want to stick with Android. Don't want no HongMeng os.
Can't imagine how the assistant on HongMeng will be like. We'll probably have to activate it by saying, " Ni hao, ah hong " No disrespect to the asians here. Just kidding. In all seriousness, hope they stick to AOSP.
I'm currently hoping unlock codes get back in business and go back to flashing modded roms, kinda miss those ol days.

So actually I bought my p30 pro literally few hours before Trump's decision, and now I am in the same boat as the OP. I love the phone, but at the moment, I don't know what to do : to return it and replace it for s10 pro or stick with it. I really want to keep the Huawei, but shutting down all android services, apps and updates for Maps, Gmail and Drive for example after 90 days is really not an option for me, because I am heavily dependent on Google at work and at home as well. So do you think if it is possible, after those 90 days of temporary google license expire, we will wake up without Google Maps, Drive and if we still have the apps, not receiving updates for them? I strongly need your opinion on that, because I still have some days left in which I can switch to the Samsung.. I should note that I don't care that much for OS updates and it won't be that big of a pain for me. Google apps and app updates are the things that bother me.

no need to worry about already released phone like P30 Pro as it will work as normal (google already clarified this). you will get apps update and etc, only no major OS upgrade ( because it will need new certification/license) if this thing keep going on.
Side note: I hate suckers that offers 300 or 400 for the mighty p30 pro and I hate losers who would actually sell it ... Lol
So we won't get Android Q ? Who cares ! Since u love ur phone with it's strong battery camera and design , don't make it look like it's the end of the world. Ur actual usage won't be effected.

The question is, are we gonna just stuck on Android 9 but we will still get updates for Google app(maps, YouTube, Gmail etc), or we are going to lose updates(or even worse permition to use) Google apps after the 3 months period?

You wont lose any access. Already mentioned numerous times and by google themselves that all current devices will remain the same. Android Q will be delayed and as for security updates, after the temporary agreement is lifted, then it will be delayed as well but most definitely huawei will work something out with google so keep calm. Also Huawei will definitely work something out with google , maybe another extension, etc.
My updates are still working and coming in o. Google Play Store
OK, having taken the brave (for me) step of ordering a phone from China, I'm now starting to understand the downsides - a whole range of options that don't work here... Celia, Docs, Video, and more every day.
Now I find me thinking the unthinkable (again for me) of trying to make it a UK phone - but is it easy, simple and foolproof?
One issue straight off though - it's a Mate 40 RS which is of course not available in the UK - is it even possible??
Thanks.
Would you like to swap for an UK version mate40 pro?

I'm starting to have the same thoughts!! I ordered a Chinese M40 Pro Plus and its currently on its way. The good thing is that I dont really use google services too much and i know the chinese versions of these phones much easier to install google services. We will see how it goes!! We'll figure it out together.

Can I ask if voice assistant works even if you don't use it? Same for Huawei Docs. Is this your first phone from China or are you an experienced old hand

No problem. Currently at work. Will let you know when I get home. This is my second Chinese phone. First one was Oppo Find X2 pro earlier this year, that was a disaster, couldnt replace a lot of default apps including the messaging app, some of the text was stuck in chinese. Even after I root it to replace the apps, kept getting error messages. I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to Chinese phones.
Currently on my Pro +, besides no google services which I would not have anyways even if I bought global, I don't notice any difference, coming from a global P30 pro. I'm glad I got the pro+ for the OIS, 10x telephoto, and freeform UW lens. Definitely worth it.
Update:
Huawei docs is not working, says not available in region.
Huawei assistant I have disabled on the homescreen, but it looks like its chinese only
Spooky... I tried the Oppo Find X2 Pro as well but wasn't keen.
Thanks for checking.
