Prev Next

Google has detected apps containing the Huawei Location SDK, which is incompatible with Google's User Data, Device and Network Abuse, and Developer Content policies.

Upon detecting this vulnerability, Google shared warning messages and/or app removal information with the app developers.

Not all applications are getting these warnings, as it might take Google some time to detect the non-compliant SDKs. New store updates increase the chance of detecting this type of SDK.

As Insider One, we have included the Huawei Android Location Kit and its dependencies in our Huawei Supported SDKs to provide our customers with access to the Huawei Messaging Service platform.

Insider One also offers non-Huawei SDKs for customers who do not prefer to use the HMS-supported SDKs.

We have contacted Huawei and confirmed that it has released a new SDK to remove this risk and eliminate this vulnerability. Insider One platform SDKs already include the latest versions of the Huawei SDKs.

To avoid conflicts within Google, we strongly recommend that you coordinate with your development teams and update your current SDK (if it includes HMS support) to our related SDKs. Please refer to our changelog pages for the related platforms:

Note that this issue is not related to Insider One's service or methods and is not Insider SDK-specific. As your partner and technology provider, we will continue to support the Huawei Service.
