[Enhancement] HarmonyOS

[jjchiw]

Hi!

I don't know how much is going to differ Base Android from Huawei Android (HarmonyOS), but it seems Huawei is creating their own apis for a lot of features :(

I just happen to have a fragmentation with the Camera2Api, It took me almost 2 weeks to realize that my camera app was not working in Huawei devices because they don't support Camera2Api, they created their own https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/CameraKit

It seems to be sort of easy to create the bindings (I'm going to start today to integrate it)

• https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/HMS-Guides/hms-location-xamarin-libbinding
• https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/HMS-Library/hms-location-xamarin-sdkdownload

But since Xamarin Forms now supports Tizen maybe you can take a look at HarmonyOS

So It would be great if it could be out of the box, not sure if this enhancement should be in Xamarin Forms...

Thanks...

Samsung currently maintains the Tizen implementation of Xamarin.Forms. So my guess is Huawei would need to approach Microsoft and the community and do the same?

dotnet Will most likely not support HarmonyOS, and Huawei will not have the willingness to actively adapt to dotnet in the short term. Thus, dotnet has a high probability of being excluded from the HarmonyOS ecology
