They might find a way like making a new app store or using their appgallery.

Or can we install the google play services and store by ourselves?

This exactly does not take much effort for most people here on XDA to install g services and store. I am getting myself a M30 Pro and will use it that way, idk about politic shhite.

dont you think that google might block them from connecting to their servers etc so it might not be that possible after all

That's what I read, this phone will now able to connect to google calendar or google drive which rely on google service.
Of course, Huawei has Chinese apps alternative as what China people using in China.
mate 30 pro will have android 10 though

I was planing to do the same since its quite easy to install both gplay services and gplay store , but the problem is the phone is not going to get any future android updates. whats going to happen when android 11 comes out.

Andoid is open source so i guess we will get updates, i am going to wait on Huawei to clarify a bit first

Android Open Source Project, AOSP is free to use for anybody. Huawei pay Google about 5$ per device and preinstall Google Apps and Services.
You will get a Huawei Mate 30 with Android 10, EMUI but without Google Play, Gmail, Youtube, etc.
It is Android, so you can install it and use it, like any other Android device. On Xiaomi Mi Store (chinese version) there is a Google Installer.

I understand Google Mobile Services is easy but how about Google Pay and over-riding thaty SafetyNet thing?
I remember there was this work around using MAGISK?? But do u have to root in order for it to work?

confirm can install

Mate 30 fingerprint is safety net compliant
Its fairly easy to install gapps on it
Most of New released models where already pre certified, as this happened before the ban..

Wanda Mobile, a reputable UK retailer, is now selling this phone "with Google Play Store installed".

It will work like any other Android phone except it does not have the licensed Google Mobile Service (GMS) built-in; there is an app that one can download to install the google framework that will install Google assistance which will allow Google Play Store to be installed in the phone. Because the phone does not have GMS so many apps in Google Play Store will not work. One will have to get from alternative source like APKmirror

Ok Guys. I have a M30 and it has not been easy to install GMS on it. As you know LZPlay app is dead. And installing framework, services and play Store is not working. I get force close after the install.
Any thoughts on this? (bootloader locked and unrooted)

Hey, Boas Super Dragão!
Unfortunately it´s not been easy to install gapps since the LZPLay backdoor wich was using undocumentede APIS has been closed. I have a Mate 30 Pro with Bootloader unlocked and no root. I tried a bunch of suspicious GMS installers, and tried to intsall the services and framework manually with all the available permissions and the result is always the same. App force closes. Alguma ideia? Abraço

Just presumed you are living in China. Shouldn't be hard, they can live without Google, FB, IG, whatsapp. So can you.

Mate 9 Chinese version, no Google contacts...

About all setup with my Mate 9 (Chinese version). I got updated OTA to 135 and got GMS and Play all going.
However, I can't get Google contacts on it. App won't install from store, says incompatible ... anyone got a workaround? Last thing I need to get to using this otherwise awesome phone as my daily.
Answered. Wasn't sure I trusted all mirror but trust Duraaraa.

hey,I'm from China and I think there is an app called google installer which is designed for your problem
Since google is not available in China ,google services are simply deleted.
Usually,we use that google installer to plant google services in our system(VPN needed of course lolol),but they work only on 5.0 and 6.0 the last time I saw them
you can still give it a try though,this app can be found on cool market(very powerful app market,we use it as a replacement for google store)
just search cool market on google and you will get it
Hope this can help you
Yep, GMS Core puts the base services on, then you can add Play store and the rest. Got Contacts from APK Mirror.

can you install paid apps on Google Play, without Google Play?

I know for free apps you can just get the apk off Apkmirror or something but what about paid apps? Is it possible to buy an app off Google Play using a web browser and install it without the actual Google Play App?
I know there is a convoluted way to install Google Play through a combination of restore and lzplay apps but apparently that involves handing over administrative control to some unknown third party so I'm not sure if I should try that yet.
Phone is Mate 30 Pro 5g.
I don't think so

I got my 30 pro yesterday and did the installation. After you have installed the Gapps, you can just delete the App so it can't harm anybody. Everything except Google Pay works fine.

I did it according to the guide on Huaweiblog (a german website) i´ts there and i guess you can easily understand it, as it´s step by step
https://www.huaweiblog.de/news/huawei-mate-30-pro-google-dienste-installieren/
there is also a video guide on the site

I have the Mate Xs in hand. Feel free to ask comment and suggest

Got it here in UAE. So far no Google method is working from the Mate 30 pro thread.

Did you use phone clone followed by chat partner all with device ID?
How can I add Google pack into this device? I used mate 30 promethod which was working perfectly with that device but in this device it won't work. It keep showing me message "this device isn’t Play Protect certified"

Hello, I also Have a Huawei Mate XS and yes, I tried to do the procedure with Chat partner APP and device ID registration, but it doesn't work. You still can't login to the play store and you receive constant google play service notifications. Unusable. I've also tried to use the procedure described in the answers to the video (using Chat partner after cloning my old Huawei P30pro) but no luck.
I resolved to use the phone without google services, using APK Pure and Aptoide for missing apps.
Still there are apps that I normally use that just don't work. So far:
- Tesla;
- Couple of games I play;
- Revolut;
- Netflix;
- Gmail;
- google maps works but you can't login to google.
All in all I'm still pretty satisfied with the phone and I'm waiting for a definitive workaround for google play store.
Google package
If you have solutions plz post it
Have you tried VMOS apk? As a limited alternative there is also an app called G-Whizz plus and Gapps browser as a temporary solution.
Yes otherwise you need third party apps stores like spk mirror, f Droid, Aurora store or app suche.vone can use internet access to GMS.
VMOS don't dismiss without tryjng

Many current Huawei phones with Kirin chipset are not fully compatible with WMOS and vice versa.
I'm trying to get used to using the device Sans Google. Trying to explore alternatives and see how to reduce Google life haha.

Cloning of P30 Pro to P40 Pro and Google services

I actually have a P30 Pro, if I buy a P40 Pro and I clone all my settings to the new P40 pro, will I have the Google services?
No, You want! I did it p30 pro to P40 pro - everything was moved BUT ring tones (custome) google chrome and wallpaper
I'm sorry, but I'm not getting if it's possible or not.
Did you were able to have Google play store in the p40? Gmail? Youtube? Maps?

NO, I have NO Google services and Google play store
Thank you.
Huawei support told me the same, you can have couple apps, but not the whole package.
I'm afraid I will not buy the amazing p40 pro, I'm sad.
May be a Xiaomi Mi 10 pro?

My friend did it: installed Google Play Store/Services on P40 Pro. You can not clone from P30 Pro -> P40 Pro to get Google works
After cloning, will Google Pay work? That is, will the phone pass safetynet test?
I have install google gms on my p40 pro, then used phone-clone from my p30 pro. All apps except g-pay works. Maps, contacts, calendar, drive, the lot. Even my banking app and bankid on mobile.
Just not g-pay but I can live without that one ??
When I try to add a card g-pay states that I have root access or that the phone has been otherwise altered ?

Can i ask which banking apps are working for you? I am getting mine tomorrow and trying to decide if its better installing gsm first, then clone. Or the other way around
It is Norwegian bank apps.
I have tried both approach, gms then phone-clone and vice versa.
My experience is that gms on a "empty" phone works best.
Obviously, the phone fails Android SafetyNet Test. You can search in Play Store and download an app to test yours out.
update
Confirm! Updated to .114 yesterday, all Google stuff work as it did.
personally me google play music doesn't work
So, does the phone pass Android SafetyNet Test now? Can check please?
I don't know about safetynet stuff, but my Gpay is working fine.
Did 2 purchases to date, both worked on first try.

Mi 10 Ultra SafetyNet?

Does the Mi 10 Ultra pass SafetyNet? Aka use Google Pay, McDonalds, Pokémon Go.
And if so, how come the Mi 10 passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)?
I have the phone
Security level is L1
Saftey net is as global phone
Google services is running as any global phone..100% no issue with me even in downloading all my bought apps
The only issue is that Google backup and restore is not working and Google Location History is not working. The rest all work fine, Google Pay, maps, play store, etc. on the stock china miui 12 rom of course.
Oops, had a typo. Meant to ask:
How come the Mi 10 Ultra passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)? Neither phone is officially available outside China, so I doubt Xiaomi took the time to Google Certify the Mi 10 Ultra. Where does certification come from?
P40 Pro does not come with GMS pre-installed thanks to Trump.
Trump has banned Google from exporting software and licenses to Huawei, so huawei is legally not allowed to install GMS in their OS, even if not activated.
The last Huawei phone with GMS pre-installed is the P30 Pro.
P40 Pro is also available outside China in many regions with HMS instead.
On the other hand, MIUI comes with GMS pre-loaded inside all their China ROMs as well and also Google certified.
It's just not activated, and even if you activate it in China, it will not work due to the Great China Firewall blocking all GMS.
But once the phone is out of China, that's a different story, we just need to install Play Store and all GMS get activated auto-magically.
Some features are not working great as the China rom still have some tiny blocks, notably Google Location History and Backup and Restore.

If a license from Google to Huawei is all that's required. Why don't they just work around it? Can't Google just release the blob of GMS (I understand releasing the source is probably not a good idea) as freeware that doesn't require a license?
Also, what does Xiaomi use in China if not GMS or HMS?
So have you managed to install Netflix successfully and make payments with Google pay?
Thanks!

Google Pay is installed directly from the Play Store. I have use apk mirror for Netflix and Prime Video as that was not available on play store.
Netflix absolutely works. Someone who said it doesn't either doesn't know about side loading or did something wrong. You just have to download the apk from somewhere other than the play store. Works fine.
