HMS Core
HMS Core is a set of tools designed to let Huawei’s partners and app developers create unique, fresh experiences that take advantage of all of Huawei’s hardware and software capabilities.
Advantages of HMS core:
There are several advantages of using it but everything falls under the following category:
1. App development: The HMS core contains tools and services that, if used fully and appropriately, can ensure that your app develops consistently.
2. App monetization: Ways and avenues through which you could monetize your app are brought directly to you via HMS core services.
3. Growth of user base: The platform also has services which allow you to continually increase your user base.
Consider if we are developing a Health Tracking application then the following toolkits can be used:
Account kit:
The account kit helps us to maintain each and every users information and allows the users to access it from any place and anytime using any device. The kit provides quick and standard connectivity as one of its service feature. It is also secure, reliable and compliant with international standards. It gives the user various options to sign in .
The use cases provided by the tool kit are:
1. Quick sign-in by Huawei ID’s
2. Sign in using QR code
3. Normal sign in with account and password
Health kit:
Developers may use Health Kit to create an open fitness and health data platform that includes data collection, storage, and sharing for fitness and health apps and devices. It offers developers open APIs for reading and writing data, as well as a sharing mechanism for consumers to allow and withdraw access. It uses 3 main API’s Java API ,Cloud API and Java-script API.
Health Kit’s core features allow for atomic data transparency. After getting users’ permission to access their data, the app may access fitness and health data and utilize applicable APIs to add, remove, change, and query user data, as well as deliver fitness and health data services to users. Using the health kit the app can track access store and get knowledge about the fitness of an individual.
Wear Engine:
HUAWEI Wear Engine is a development platform for mobile and wearable software and service developers.
Your software or service on a phone may send messages and notifications to Huawei wearable devices, as well as get the status of the wearable devices, by integrating Wear Engine. This also works the other way around, allowing an app or service on a Huawei wearable to send and receive messages and data from a phone.
This kit’s key features include sending and receiving notifications from the app, as well as app-to-app communication.
The main advantages this kit provides are
1. Convenient management
2. Real-time reminders
3. New ways of interacting
Map kit:
Map Kit allows you to easily build customizable map display and interactivity using sophisticated and easy map services.
For a better user experience, this kit may be used to track the distance between two places when jogging or running, as well as display the path travelled.
It offers map sketching as one of its use cases, thus it might be used to plan a trek or a run. Map Kit is constantly improving and expanding the map detail presentation capacity.
For example, map kit can be used in app to map cycle routes or low traffic routes to take for an aesthetic ride.
To conclude,
When considered generally, there are only advantages and negligible disadvantages to the use of the Huawei HMS core. As an app developer, the HMS core is nothing short of a dream come true.
