Hello,
I would like to upload my free app in an android app store in China, is Google Play the most famous app store there, or is there another one very popular?
Thank you very much for your attention

Google Play Store is not the right choice to distribute your app in China.
There are lots of local android store/app market, but only 3~5 app market can drive you major downloads.

baidu mobile market, tencent mobile market, and...
but I am not sure if these are correct translation for you.
Baidu: http://as.baidu.com/
Tencent: http://android.myapp.com/
Depends on ur target population. I hear most young ppl are using Google play.
Andreait15, maybe you're not yet aware that Google Play is not all that popular in the People's Republic of China. Here are some of the popular apps stores in China that you can upload your free app on:
Anzhi: anzhi. com
Gfan: apk.gfan.com
D.cn: www .d.cn
Xiaomi: app. xiaomi. com
AppChina: appchina. com
Also the two apps stores mentioned by uuOuu are a plus.
Can someone from outside China to submit an app to these stores?
I could not do it.

Huh? Why not? What's wrong? Aren't the links to apps working? Are you trying to submit your apps in one of the android app stores in China or is your IP address blocked?
Perhaps the fault is mine and I chose the wrong way

Hello,

I tried to send an application to Mumayi.com. Unlike most Android Markets, you don’t need a government issued ID from China to register a developer account on Mumayi. I cannot send links but search "mumayi submit app" and watch the blog of Daniel Zhao.
But the problems I found were these:
- Adress: I was forced to add a province of China
- Phone number: I was forced to put a phone number in Chinese format
Apart from this, it was not in English and the Google translation was not very good so I ended giving up.

Oh that's really a problem unless you have a Chinese friend who would be willing to help you on this matter. It's difficult to read their language.
It's not only the language.
There are issues like the need of a government issued ID or the inability to fill in information with data from another country
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.

See my later comments below.
Just a topic to advise any possible UK buyers who are considering to have this phone. I've managed to install Google services with some guide in this forum . Most of apps working, of course I'm prepared for some Google framework function not work, i.e. Google assistance (voice control ), Google pay with contactless etc. But some key apps not working can rely put me off:
*Barclays UK mobile Banking app: not supported on Play Market, tried to manual install the app with APK files , tried current and various previous versions, none of them worked. So if you rely on mobile banking a lot with Barclays bank, please be alerted. I can't use web version on the phone as the mobile app needs to be supported to generate log in code.
Less urgent case that I can use browser to bear the inconvenience: IHG booking app. Tried various previous version , none worked.
HSBC Mobile Banking for UK: all working fine
HSBC Mobile Banking for Hong Kong: works but does not support Fingerprints Log In.
Appreciate any help if you have any solutions for above apps?
Strange... there has not been any reply on this topic yet ?...
> I can't use web version on the phone as the mobile app needs to be supported to generate log in code.
I'm curious about this. Do you have any more information? Which browser are you using? Did you check the box for 'Desktop site' [1]? I find that works for most things where they check the UA string.
[1] That's what it is for Chrome, but I imagine other browsers have something similar.
Are you sure this is true? I am almost certain that I'm upgrading to this phone.
I was told that all Google apps, play store and generally everything Google related is working on this device from EE. I'm also with Barclays and will need to access that app. If this isn't the case then I will have to consider a different phone.
Still no luck. When searching Barclays app in Playstore , no luck. You can go to web version Google store and try to find this app then it will show app not compatible with this device. I guess Barclays app uses Google safetynet framework which is currently baned on this device.
Hi
I have the Barclays banking app working on my Mate 30 Pro 5G along with several other without any issues. Installed the Playstore as per method and downloaded app as normal. Only thing not working is Google Pay.
Dude , the app doesn't even turn up on playstore what are you talking about ?

Okay thanks for this ,is this Clone process part of Huawei thingy or independent app?

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 am wanting to get a mate 30 pro and of course install google services on it...
in almost every video tutorial i saw whether its the mate 30 pro or the mate 30 or the p40 the GSF ID is always the same.
the GSF ID is supposed to be unique to every device yet in these videos they are all the same (see below the two i got from videos).
so in essense 100's if not 1000's of people using the restore method are using the same GSF ID? isnt that dangerous to the google play account its lined to?
I am also curious whether this has to do with the backup we're restoring to the phone.
Also, i am spooked by the big G application. who knows what backdoor it maybe opening?
3db5868d120809ca
3497da632b1481ce
The big G is the lz play exploit app. I used it to get GMS on my mate 30 Pro last year when it was still an easy fix. I have noticed nothing but I did uninstall it after the fix. Not sure about the most recent fixes? As for the G Id, this could be something like one of Microsoft bulk licensing where one product Id is put on loads of the same PCs ( Dell, HPs etc), not sure but could be something like that? It is obviously from a working account that has been backed up though and copied. But if you need to use GMS, then there is not much choice really.
Is there a working option without crutches now?

Thanks for the reply.
I understand your explanation but as i read about the GSF ID its like a car license number or rather a serial # for a device. this ID could be tied to your google account or rather device serial #.
I now understand why when installing and uninstalling the framework you have to keep retrying to get the ID back...i think its a hole in the google system where it just gives up and assigns it to you.
I dont know. I feel this is dangerous that all of us are sharing one GSF ID from a backup.
If the device was able to be rooted you can generate a new one.
i am sure the people that generated this backup had rooted their device because when the device first launched there was a service to unlock the bootloader. now its no more.
this is the article i am talking about that concerns the GSF ID:

they are probably using the methods everyone is using, putting the phone back in the box and shipping it. i see no other solution. unless root and thats not possible since bootloader unlock services for the device has stopped.
That was how my mate 30 Pro arrived but I reset it and used the lzplay method when it worked back then myself for the sake of it. Good read above, I think we will have to wait a while to see what happens next.

I think we should no longer hope that the USA will grant Google the authorization to work with Huawei seen the tensions between China and the US and the Covid-19 story. I have google spy services up and running since late last year and have no issue, granted my use of google apps is very limited. If we have a backdoor installed through lzplay we will never know but if you have google, wattsapp, fakebook etc installed you can be sure you will be tracked, profiled in one way or the other. That is a fact.

So your suggestions... to get rid of Google in order not to be tracked?
the average consumer has no clue of what lzplay is doing. its the most dangerous app out there using the MDM technique (mentioned above).
today at the mall i saw a girl representative for a reseller company in my country for huawei products and she had it installed.
i warned her and told her she committed a mistake but ppl see their phones working fine and dont worry about it. you wont know if the app is sending or stealing your data...(Well, actually, you can install a firewall app and track which apps are sending data to what destination - thats one way that came to my mind)
The issue remains is: We dont know who created lzplay and made a website and made the app. thats the scary part.
Now, another perception of this could be the following:
MAYBE, just maybe the lzplay was released by huawei themselves and if so then we need not worry. i mean we run on their operating system. they would have no interest in stealing data. they can already do that ...
This is being optimistic and thinking this maybe a fact.
i, myself will not venture into this and wont attempt it. Almost all apps work fine except for one thing: Games that rely on Google play games will fail without having the GMS files installed.
I dont play games so its not a big deal for me.
besides, most games now-a-days give you the option of logging in with facebook or google play games. select facebook and you'll be fine.

I understand your concerns and it is very valid. Over the last 4 months of usage, I have not notice any unauthorised data being sent. I had a filewall installed for removed it just a couple of weeks back.

I just do a full reset of my phone with GMS trying only using HMS. So far it's easy with phone clone and Aurora store. The only thing I miss are the notifications from Google and Twitter, but everything else is working perfect.
If you guys have specific questions concerning the GSF ID, I'd be happy to answer them. I'm the author of the aforementioned blog post, as well as several tools that deal with Google Play Services (in case you don't have/want them on your phone).

Is there a way to change de GSF ID of the phone manually? For example give the GSF ID of a Samsung device that works with FCM to a Mate 30 Pro, so that the Mate 30 Pro won't have the notifications issue when GSM are installed.
Or go back to a GSF ID that works perfectly and by mistake the phone's memory has been wiped and now the GSF ID doesn't work to receive FCM notifications.

You are not suppose to change it manually. However, you can always request a new one by clearing the cache of the market app. The GSF ID is kept in that apps database, so if you wanted to change it manually, you'd have to install the android platform tools, use ADB to pull the file (root required), use sqlite3 to make the changes (the key is called "android_id", not GSF ID for legacy reasons), then push the file back to the device. Reboot afterwards.

I used the Windows tools above to change the GSF ID of my un-rooted Samsung Galaxy A325G, and they worked fine... but does anyone know how the new GSFID was determined?
Is it random?
EDIT: I might be able to figure out how it's generated using "Dummy Droid".
[Tool] DummyDroid - GSF ID generator
Dummy Droid is a mainly a companion tool for the Raccoon APK Downloader . It allows you to create hardware profiles for arbitrary Android devices and upload them into your Google Play account, generating a new GSF ID in the process.
Mocks can either be generated by probing an existing device via ADB or be completely made up from scratch. You (may) need this tool if Google Play won't give you access to an app because of device incompatibilities, country or carrier restrictions. You (may) also need this tool if you are an app developer yourself and want to test compatibility filter settings without actually owning the target device.
