What's going to happen now that Huawei is releasing their new OS? If it blows up, and there's a good chance it will, there'd be a massive gap in access to a whole new platform. I've chosen the easy way out and I've been developing mobile apps for iOS and Android via React-Native. Will React-Native support HarmonyOS?

  • Well, Facebook uses React Native and is the primary maintainer and they will need to support HarmonyOS if it "blows up", so I'm guessing yes – Charlie Martin Sep 24 '19 at 07:29

This question might be better directed towards the React Native Feature Requests page.

I haven't seen any mentions to add support for HarmonyOS at this stage, however the community could add support if there's demand. There's plenty of prior art around for alternative platforms.

If Facebook starts supporting HarmonyOS with its apps, then first-class support is much more likely.

    FWIW, Meituan ported Flutter to HarmonyOS already: https://tech.meituan.com/2021/01/22/flutter-in-harmonyos.html – sivabudh Mar 06 '21 at 07:40

  • I think we need to wait for HarmonyOS become more popular with developer & user, currently (Dec 2020), Huawei only shares beta testing for a limited partner of them after the HDC event, no more technical docs available for HarmonyOS app developers at this time.
  • If it becomes more popular & attracts developers, maybe React-Native will support it, For more information, you can find at https://www.huaweicentral.com/harmonyos-hongmeng-os-everything-you-need-to-know/
