Countly now supports HarmonyOS
v26.1.0 of the Countly SDK for HarmonyOS is our first official SDK for Huawei’s operating system: a platform now on more than 55 million devices and second in China’s smartphone market.
Today we are releasing v26.1.0 of the Countly SDK for HarmonyOS: our first official SDK for Huawei’s operating system, now available on GitHub.
For most product teams outside Asia, HarmonyOS has been easy to overlook. That is no longer the case. Huawei’s platform now powers more than 55 million native HarmonyOS devices and holds roughly 16-18% of China’s smartphone market, making it the country’s second-largest mobile operating system, ahead of iOS for most of the past two years, according to Counterpoint Research.
For any team operating in China, that share is too large to leave unmeasured. An Android-only or iOS-only analytics setup quietly misses a growing slice of real users, real sessions and real crashes.
What is in this release
The HarmonyOS SDK ships at near-parity with our Android SDK from day one. Out of the box, v26.1.0 supports:
- Events, views and sessions
- Crash reporting
- User profiles
- Consent management, including unknown consent mode
- Device ID handling
- Location
- Remote Config
- SDK behavior settings
- Automatic tracking for sessions, views and crashes
The remaining feature set will roll out in subsequent versions. Our goal is full parity with our most mature mobile SDKs.
Why this matters for customers in China
HarmonyOS adoption has moved past curiosity into something product teams need to plan around. Huawei now sells more flagship phones in China than any competitor, and HarmonyOS ships on every recent Huawei device: phones, tablets, foldables and an expanding range of laptops. The platform is also being positioned for international markets.
For Countly customers building or operating products in China, particularly those in regulated industries who already rely on Countly for data control and self-hosted deployment: this means you can instrument HarmonyOS apps with the same analytics, crash reporting and engagement primitives you already use on Android and iOS, without splitting your stack across vendors.
