This has a few interesting potential repercussions that nobody is talking about. Since this is a lose-lose situation for both, here are a some possible outcomes:
a) Google moves enough play services code into AOSP to make AOSP more functional than it is now.
b) Webapps become more of a thing
c) Play services become "downloadable" when you visit google.com
d) Play services become standardised and/or federated
- cududa 7y agoAll of these scenarios assume Google actively wants to help Huawei succeed.
- bubblethink 7y agoWell, it's as much about helping themselves. Huawei is a pretty large android manufacturer globally. It's a tradeoff between play services moat v/s higher adoption at reduced lock-in.
