About HMS Core
HMS Core, based on Huawei devices and the Android platform, is a mobile service framework that opens up a variety of service capabilities to app developers. It provides basic services, such as HUAWEI ID, payments, and Notifications for Huawei end users.
We need to integrate HMS Core to use Analytics Kit and Push Kit in our app.
