Introduction

Explore HMS application will host all HMS Core services and kits as example modules. It targets to include all features that HMS can provide. Because HMS Core is rapidly growing source, new modules and features fill be added. With each update, the application will be kept up to date, new features will be added, the application and modules will be constantly updated and optimized.

When users install the application from AppGallery, only 4 modules will be installed. However, because this project was created with HMS Dynamic Ability Service and Android App Bundle technology together, users will be able to download the modules they need without having unnecessary modules. This ensures that the app download size and the size it takes up on the device remain optimal.

App Bundle On-Demand feature provides us the capability of downloading the requested modules. In this way, the application does not have non-required features.

Implemented Kits And Services

A/B Testing

A/B Testing provides a collection of refined operation tools to optimize app experience and improve key conversion and growth indicators. You can use the service to create one or more A/B tests engaging different user groups to compare your variants of app UI design, copywriting, product functions, or marketing activities for performance metrics and find the best one that meets user requirements. This helps you make correct decisions. A/B Testing is commonly used by large Internet companies, with hundreds of A/B tests conducted every week.

Accelerate Kit

HUAWEI Accelerate Kit provides the multi-thread acceleration capability that efficiently improves concurrent execution of multiple threads. It is located above the kernel in the OS and opened to developers as a set of C language APIs.

Most of current Android devices run a multi-core system. To give full play to the system, programs that can execute multiple tasks concurrently are preferred. Generally, multi-thread programs at the Native layer control task execution by managing threads. Accelerate Kit provides a new multi-thread programming method by using the multi-thread library (multithread-lib). It frees you from the thread management details so that you can focus on developing apps that can fully utilize the multi-core hardware capability of the OS, promising more efficient running.

App Signing

Android apps use a signature key for signing. Each signature key has an associated key certificate. Devices and services can use the certificate to check whether the app is from a trusted source. For trusted app updates, ensure that the app signature of the update package is the same as that of the installed app so that your app update will be accepted. However, if the signature key is lost or stolen, you cannot update your app. In this case, you will have to use a new package name to release the updated app. This will lead to risks such as user loss.
