Huawei has reportedly been building its Android rival for the last 7 years in secret, anticipating a possible ban on using U.S. software for its products.
Huawei reportedly wanted to create a backup plan should it ever be banned from using Android. In May, the Commerce Department added Huawei and 68 other companies to an export blacklist, which means Huawei can't buy goods from the United States. Google said it would cut ties with Huawei but was granted ato make sure devices that already run its software have necessary security updates through Aug. 19.
The South China Morning Post didn't discuss much about the underlying technology of the new operating system but said it's capable of running Android apps and that Huawei engineers "studied Android and Apple's iOS closely to learn from them." The operating system is designed to run on computers and phones.
Google has since warned of the risks of Huawei developing its own version of open source Android, which wouldn't allow Google to issue software updates to Huawei phones at all. It argued earlier this month that this could be athat Google can update to prevent security flaws, which would otherwise be up to Huawei to patch.
"As we have noted before, Huawei does have backup systems but only for use in extenuating circumstances," a Huawei spokesperson told the South China Morning Post. "Android and Windows will always remain our first choices."
