Tech in Africa
Huawei aims to cultivate the latest technologies for app developers with the intent to support them in delivering a smooth in-App experience. Through the HUAWEI AppGallery, the company has developed 50 kits alongside hundreds of capabilities for developers. Huawei is currently working with 1.3 million partners and developers internationally. The app currently runs two competitions which will run till 30 November.
Participation in the competition requires the developer to register on HUAWEI AppGallery’s Huawei’s app store. On completing your sign up you get the Huawei Cloud Voucher worth $200 for individual developers and $600 for enterprise developers.
Once you upload your app APK to Huawei’s app store then hit publish, you automatically receive $4000 worth in Huawei Cloud vouchers. The voucher helps the developer access cloud storage space, vital for the development of the apps.
In a separate competition, Huawei is rewarding developers for integrating their HMS Core and HMS capabilities into their apps. The first prize is a R120,000 cash prize while second and third placed winners each bag R60,000.
