Still seeking ways to efficiently realize your brilliant product idea? Worried about losing users as they are tired of complex user authentication steps, large app sizes, and frequent app crashes? Struggling to retain your users? That's where HUAWEI Gallery Connect comes into the picture to solve your problems and help you gain business success more easily.
It's a one-stop open platform that covers the entire app lifecycle, from innovation, to development, distribution, operation, and analysis. You can find out more by reading our HUAWEI AppGallery Connect Service White Paper.
Introduction
(1) Team Account
Sharing one account with all permissions among multiple team members increases your risk of a data breach.
That's not a problem with your team account. You can invite everyone you need to the team, including financial, R&D, and operation personnel, and assign only required permissions accordingly, so your data stays secure.
(2) Auth Service
Most apps need to authenticate users before they can provide certain functions, but building a user authentication system is challenging and costly.
With Auth Service, you can quickly build a secure and reliable user authentication system. Authentication capabilities are provided as services, and with just a little O&M, you can assemble all the services you need in your app.
(3) Remote Configuration
Want to make quick changes to how your app works and looks without the hassle of requiring user updates?Want to customize your app works and looks without the hassle of requiring user updates?
With Remote Configuration, you can limit configuration updates to users who meet specific conditions (such as their version, OS, and country) and tailor changes to each group.
(4) A/B Testing
Not sure what content to go with?
With A/B Testing, you can simultaneously run up to 50 experiments on a single app, and test your UI design, in-app content, and functions. By comparing detailed performance metrics, you can quickly decide what works best.
(5) App Linking
Finding it harder and harder to acquire new users and keep your existing users active?
App Linking generates links that direct people straight to your in-app content. If someone who hasn't installed your app taps the link, they'll be redirected to HUAWEI AppGallery where they'll be instructed to download your app. Once that's done, they're taken to your shared content.
(6) HUAWEI Analysis
Want to see how your app's performance compares to your competitors?
HUAWEI Analysis analyzes app data (such as distribution, operation, quality, and financial data) and user data (audience, behavior, event, or group) so you can see how your app is doing. Our benchmark data service, which will be released soon, helps you scientifically optimize versions, get insights into potential business opportunities, and make more accurate decisions."](5) App Linking
(7) Crash
If your app is always crashing, it's not going to get good reviews.
Use our Crash service. It doesn' t require any coding, and you can see real-time data reports up to the last hour. You' ll get notifications if there are any major issues, and you can prioritize crashes according to detailed indicators. This means problems can be quickly resolved based on the stack, device, and OS information provided.
(8) App Bundle
Is your app package so large it' s become a hassle for prospective users to download?
App Bundle can help. It tailors your package to various device models, and significantly reduces its size. App Bundle provides dynamic loading based on your users' requirements.
But that' s not all - we have 45 more services for you to explore! Visit HUAWEI Developers or scan the QR code below to get the full version of the HUAWEI AppGallery Connect Service White Paper.

System Integrity Check (SysIntegrity)
SysIntegrity is capable of checking whether the user device is rooted, unlocked, or escalated for higher permissions, and uses this information to help you determine how and when to restrict your app's behavior to avoid potential leaking of sensitive user information or financial information.
A unique advantage of SysIntegrity is that it is based on the TEE OS, which is built into every Huawei phone (running EMUI 9.0 or later). The TEE OS comes with Huawei's in-house microkernel, which has achieved the prestigious CC EAL 5+ certification, and is the first solution of its kind to pass formal verification. Having integrated SysIntegrity, it can isolate apps for bolstered protection, and provide independent privacy security protection services. For example, services with high security requirements, such as the payment services, are provided with the appropriate level of protection in the TEE OS.
App Security Check (AppsCheck)
When your app has integrated AppsCheck, it can obtain a list of malicious apps on the user's device, which provides a strong basis for high-level risk analysis (for risky/virus-infected apps). Users are then warned of the presence of any risks on your app, or prompted to exit your app. According to the three largest global virus evaluation agencies, AppsCheck can detect malicious apps with a staggering accuracy rate of 99%.
Malicious URL Check (URLCheck)
With URLCheck, your app can determine whether a visited URL contains phishing or malware apps. The check strikes the optimal balance between performance and timeliness, and is capable of detecting a wide range of malicious URLs, such as phishing and Trojan-infested URLs. URLCheck is easy to integrate into your app, and provides trusted, operation-free security services, reducing the costs associated with developing secure browsing services.
Fake User Detection (UserDetect)
Fake user detection is critical for app operations, as the presence of fake operations such as game bots, activity bonus hunting, and malicious spamming, can give your app a bad reputation. UserDetect can identify spoofed devices, based on the device signature and identifier, and identity relevant environmental risks, such as roots, simulators, VMs, device change tools, and anonymous IP addresses. It can also recognize fake users based on screen touch and sensor behavior, as well as prevent batch registration, credential stuffing attacks, bonus hunting, and content crawlers. These safeguards provide your app's users with unmatched peace of mind.
Many popular apps have integrated Safety Detect, such as the app for International News Agency and Radio Sputnik, APUS, a popular browser in India and Southeast Asia, and 1998 Camera in Vietnam.
How Can I Integrate HUAWEI Safety Detect?
Each of the four functions in Safety Detect has a dedicated API that is easy to integrate. For guidance during the integration process, please refer to the HUAWEI Developers website, where you will find the integration guide and other resources for reference, or acquire your answers from HUAWEI Developer Forum.

AppGallery Connect is a one-stop open service platform for the entire app lifecycle, designed to facilitate enhanced, and accelerated app building and running, giving you a leg up on the competition. AppGallery Connect 10.5, the platform's latest version, provides for a wholly optimized user experience, including a home page with futuristic visual effects, cross-platform app management capabilities, and access to a broad array of services, such as App Messaging, Cloud Storage, and Auth Service. These updates give you the tools to better build and operate your apps.
Brand-new home page
The home page has assumed a fresh new, user-friendly layout. The My projects entry enables you to manage apps of different platforms; Hot services provides a glimpse at trending services, and More services displays a brief overview of all available services. Service cards also provide direct access to corresponding services, sparing you the hassle of having to search for a desired service, and find it from a lengthy list.

App Messaging
This service provides invaluable assistance for refined operations, by sending contextual messages to active users when specific events are triggered, boosting user engagement and stickiness. In-app messages can work in tandem with your app's activities. For instance, if you have a shopping app, it can display a message instructing the user to claim coupons upon repeated taps on an item by a user when authorized or after message subscription by the user. Or if you have a reading app, the app can automatically display messages to intensive users who have read for more than half an hour in a single session, offering a 20% discount off of subscriptions. These types of messages can successfully boost your app's conversion rate.
You have the option of using a pre-set style, or customizing the display of your in-app messages. Image messages are recommended if the content in the message is relatively simple.
Banner messages contain a thumbnail, with the message title and body, and are displayed at the top of the screen. Users only need to tap on the banner message to be directed to the corresponding page.
Pop-up messages are recommended for richer, and more complex content, as they consist of an image, title, and body, as well as up to two buttons. Examples of each message type are shown below:
Cloud Storage
Cloud Storage incorporates a treasure trove of premium storage, upload, and download functions for a wide range of different objects, including images, videos, and audio files. The Cloud Storage capability is bolstered by the following attributes:
1. Airtight protections, enabled by declarative security and automatic encryption mechanisms;
2. High degree of stability, thanks to the implementation of resumable transfer and intelligent network acceleration;
3. Autoscaling, to provide for automatic resource scheduling and enterprise-level storage.
These characteristics allow for you to focus single-mindedly on improving the quality and user experience within your app – reserving all of the hassles associated with developing, deploying, maintaining, and expanding capacity for storage servers, or monitoring server indicators to ensure availability, reliability, and durability – for AppGallery Connect.
Enhanced Auth Service
Building a user authentication system is both challenging and costly.
Auth Service makes the construction of a secure and reliable user authentication system, a hassle-free and cost-effective process. Authentication capabilities are provided as services, meaning that you can assemble all of the services you need in code for your app, with minimal O&M work.
The new and improved Auth Service supports a wider range of authentication modes, including mobile numbers, email accounts, and Apple IDs, and can be integrated into iOS apps. If you opt to integrate Auth Service before August 1st, 2020 , You will be eligible to receive the following benefits:

Losing Users Due to a Convoluted Sign-In Process? HUAWEI Account Kit Makes It Easy to Grow Your Apps' User Base

Perhaps many of you know how difficult it is to acquire new users, but what many of you don't know is that there's an effective way of boosting your user base, and that is to integrate a third-party sign-in service.
Let's say a user downloads an app and opens it, but when they try to actually use the app, a sign-in page is displayed, stopping them in their tracks:
l If they do not have an ID, they will need to register one. However, too much information is required for registration, which is enough to discourage anyone.
l If they do have an ID, they can sign in, but, what if they do not remember their exact password? They would have to go through the tedious process of retrieving it.
Either way, this is clearly a bad user experience, and could put a lot of users off using the app.
To avoid this, you can enable users to sign in to your app with a third-party account. With HUAWEI Account Kit, users can sign in with a single tap, which makes it easier for you to acquire more users.

【Prediction】Improving User Retention in Three Ways

Your app's new users take one of two paths. Some uninstall or ignore your app after a few days, while others – retained users – continue to use it. The standard definition of user retention varies across different types of apps. For an e-commerce app, this depends on their repurchase rate; for a news app, the main indicator is news views; and for a social app, content creators are considered loyal. Therefore, let's first identify the key retention indicator for your app.

*Retained users as presented in the retention analysis report (reference data only)
Once an app is released, its creator tends to put a lot of effort into user acquisition and activation. This is a period of increased number of new and engaged users. However, such users don't always stay as active or present, meaning that the app is neither attractive nor profitable. This is why fast user growth or high user engagement within a short period of time are not reflective of your app's competitiveness. Only retained users create constant value.
How then do we improve user retention?
Ø Find out where your retained users come from.
Let's say you advertised your short video app on major app stores. The app did acquire some new users due to the ads, but after a period of time, many of them were lost. How can you tell which channel was responsible for acquiring the ones that remain?
To evaluate core indicators like the number of new users and retained users acquired from each channel, you'll need quick access to such data.
HUAWEI Analytics Kit offers analysis reports on user data on demand. With this retention analysis feature, filter user growth or retention data by channel and time period. This gives you a birds-eye view of the acquisition channels that end up with more retained users. Focus on these channels when developing marketing strategies.
Ø Find your Aha moment.
An app's Aha moment is the key to user conversion — the point when users realize that the app satisfies their needs. A photo app user might like the photo they took with the app filter and decide to share it on social media, while a video app user might give a clip they like the thumbs up. This is when the user decides the app is of value and will continue to use it. Since the Aha moment is critical for retaining new users, how do you identify it?
The two steps are: grouping users into audiences, and analyzing behavior by specific audience.
l Save retained user in the retention analysis report as an audience in one click.
l Analyze user attributes and behavior in the audience analysis report. After configuring event tracking for your app, view the distribution of events where new users are retained and find the most popular feature among users.
Once you've found that Aha moment, promote it to your users through notifications or push messages. Prompting them to experience the feature will improve retention.
Ø Find out more about your retained users.
How do you reduce the churn that takes them away? The new and active user retention reports give you the number of daily retained users. Take immediate action if that number is declining.
Save the retained users at a specific day, week, or month as an audience with a single click. Then, view the user distribution of the audience you just created by event, system version, device model, and region. Finally, with the help of Push Kit, you'll be able to reach the audience precisely and incentivize them with gifts or coupons to make purchases.
