If you’ve been following the Huawei saga or even just the launch of the
Huawei Mate 30 and
Huawei Mate 30 Pro, then you’ll know they don’t have official access to Google apps and services. There was briefly a way to overcome this, but not anymore.
On October 1,
John Wu (a security researcher) posted a method to add Google services to the phones, but in the 24 hours since then the method has been blocked according to
Bloomberg, via a change that apparently only Google could have made.
That most significantly means no access to the Google Play Store and its vast library of apps, but it also locks you off from the likes of Google Maps and Gmail.
