The Internet has become a daily necessity for all industries. Traditional enterprises are also seeking new opportunities with mobile Internet-based operations in this promising land that offers a range of new opportunities for growth.
It is well recognized that mobile services are borne by apps. However, it is not a good choice for enterprises to develop their own native apps as doing so is time-consuming and brings many difficulties. This is when quick apps come into the picture. With the advanced basic architecture and underlying services provided by the Quick App Alliance, HUAWEI Quick App can help you slash development costs.

After being made available since March 20, 2018, HUAWEI Quick App has quickly seized a considerable market share with its revolutionary "installation-free and tap-to-use" experience.
By the end of March, 2020, more than 3900 quick apps from top developers have been released on HUAWEI AppGallery to global users, with a total of over 75 million global MAU.
HUAWEI Quick App Supports One-Click Web App Packaging and Release
HUAWEI Quick App supports one-click packaging of HTML5 web apps, which is a new and easy-to-use feature and can help to open up a broad market.
Quick apps rely on the cross-platform engine of Quick App Center to provide users with a stable and smooth experience.
When to Use One-Click Packaging?
You can package a web app into your own quick app as long as it is based on HTML5 and provides the same experience as that of the native app.
Advantages of One-Click Packaging
1. One-click packaging helps you reduce development costs.
2. Users can obtain and directly use your quick app on HUAWEI AppGallery once you have packaged and released it.
3. One-click packaging can be completed within one minute, without requiring any technical skills or a digital signature.
4. The packaging process is entirely online, saving you a lot of time and labor.
How Do I Use One-Click Packaging?
Follow our instructions to master the one-click packaging feature.
1. Register a HUAWEI ID with HUAWEI Developers and sign in to AppGallery Connect.
2. Click My projects, create your project, add a quick app, then provide app information, such as an app icon.
3. Go to Version information > Software version page and click Generate RPK based on HTML5 page URL. The generated RPK package is then displayed in the area.
4. Click Download, save the RPK package to your PC, then start testing the generated package.
5. If the test is successful, complete the version and app information and click Submit.
In the near future, most mobile apps will be deployed on the cloud. By then, users will be able to directly open and use the apps by simply tapping them in HUAWEI Quick App Center, which is more efficient and convenient.

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.

Badoo is available as a Quick App, an innovative feature unique to AppGallery which enables installation-free apps that provide experiences very close to the native versions. Badoo’s Head of Communications Tristan Pineiro said Quick Apps not only take up much less space on people’s phones and therefore enable improved app performance under heavy loads, they also enable a better user experience.
“In the modern day, daters want a quick and convenient dating platform that can cater for their busy lifestyles, and having Badoo available as a Quick App allows daters to enjoy easy access across different devices and platforms,” Pineiro said.
Furthermore, Badoo integrates Huawei Mobile Service’s Chip-Device-Cloud capabilities to enable optimised in-app functionality and help deliver the smoothest possible dating experience for AppGallery users. For example, Huawei Mobile Service’s geolocation intelligently combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and base stations to give precise user locations and enable daters to meet people around them.
Meanwhile, Huawei’s Push Kit works in tandem with the Quick Apps function, enabling developers to check if push tokens on users’ devices have expired when the app is brought to the foreground. The Push Kit also enables developers to control how and when notifications are sent to users and ensure the correct information is shown when they tap the notification, meaning users have continued access to the latest updates and promotions.
“These days, there are many different online dating platforms, and people want a service that offers a smooth and efficient user experience, as well as being able to date honestly. Listing with AppGallery and integrating with Huawei Mobile Service’s innovative kit means that Badoo can offer both these things, which ultimately helps us reach more users and achieve higher engagement rates,” Pineiro said.
Huawei constantly works on collaborations with the world’s top app developers to create quality apps, and Badoo is one of the latest among 60,000 apps that have utilized Huawei’s advanced technologies and on-device capabilities to deliver superior services and enhanced user experiences.
All applications developed in collaboration with Huawei, along with thousands of other quality apps, are available on Huawei’s open and secure app distribution platform, AppGallery. As one of the top three app marketplaces globally, AppGallery connects 420 million monthly active users throughout more than 170 countries and regions to Huawei’s smart and innovative ecosystem.
AppGallery provides users with more choice and better app discovery options, with thousands of apps across 18 categories including news, social media, entertainment, and more.

AppGallery is collaborating with popular game-based learning platform Kahoot! as part of their efforts to encourage learning at home.
Kahoot!’s free learning app makes it easy to create, share and play fun educational games or trivia quizzes in minutes. The app can be played in three ways – as a live quiz with real-time answers, as a challenge among friends with a scoreboard, or as a self-study quiz with no competition. For instance, Kahoot has a “Discover” section with various categories like Trivia and History. Users can take fun quizzes about cats and animals under Trivia, learning more about their favourite pets in the process without pressure.
In the last 12 months, Kahoot! had 1.3 billion participating players in over 200 countries, with 4.4 billion cumulative players since its launch in 2013. The app is used in schools, at home and even in workplaces to encourage interactive learning.
Eilert Hanoa, CEO of Kahoot!, said: “We’re pleased to work together with Huawei to launch Kahoot! on AppGallery. We are impressed by Huawei's innovation of new technology and business models and its strong global consumer brand. We look forward to exploring more partnership opportunities”.
Kahoot! joined AppGallery in December 2019 to further expand its penetration into mature markets, working closely with Huawei’s support team to fully integrate Huawei Mobile Services into the app. One of the key features Kahoot! implemented in its AppGallery version was full compatibility with HUAWEI Assistant, a cutting-edge AI that makes your phone more intuitive and customised to your taste. Users can easily create a game or enter a PIN to join a game room by adding the Kahoot! app to their quick access bar by swiping right on the home screen and accessing the Huawei Assistant screen. It is a hands-and-fuss-free solution that makes creating and playing a quiz quick and easy.
With this integration, Kahoot! was selected to be part of Huawei’s speed-dial programme for the Huawei browser. In this programme, links to registered mobile-optimized websites are placed within the Huawei browser when a new tab is opened, increasing exposure to users. Getting into Huawei’s speed-dial programme enabled Kahoot! to penetrate the EU market, reaching out to over 30 countries including Germany and France.
The integration process was simple. Adding support for and integrating with Huawei Mobile Services took little work, and the app was up and running on AppGallery within a week.
Within a few months of joining AppGallery, Kahoot! quickly became a global top app in the marketplace, reaching about 1 million downloads to date.
All applications developed in collaboration with Huawei, along with thousands of other quality apps, are available on Huawei’s open and secure app distribution platform, AppGallery. One of the top three app marketplaces globally, AppGallery connects 650 million users throughout more than 170 countries and regions to Huawei’s smart and innovative ecosystem.
AppGallery provides users with more choice and better app discovery options, with thousands of apps across 18 categories, including news, social media, entertainment, and more.

How do users quickly find what they want when shopping online?
When users launch an e-commerce app and know what they want to buy, they’ll most likely perform a text, voice, or image search of the exact items they want to purchase. However, if the users do not know what they want to buy, they’ll most likely browse through products recommended by the app. Whether users are willing to make a purchase depends on their search experience in the first scenario and how well you know their preferences in the second scenario. This is why intelligent search and recommendation has become a critical feature in helping users quickly find what they want and thereby improving user retention and conversion.
Utilizing Petal Search’s fully open capabilities, HUAWEI Search Kit offers a one-stop solution for e-commerce apps to quickly and accurately recommend what users want, ensure an accurate and efficient mobile app search experience, and provide personalized search services through deep learning of user and product profiles. Search Kit also offers multi-language support for our ecosystem partners.
1. Quickly building an on-site search engine

Images that users use for product search are automatically reviewed and those that contain pornography, terrorism, politics, religion, illegal items, or vulgar content are automatically recognized and filtered out. Search Kit’s image filter function has currently been individually adapted for 30 countries and regions around the world.
Search by voice
Utilizing the automatic speech recognition (ASR) capability, Search Kit features voice input, search by voice, and an in-app voice assistant.
