Countly Now Supports HarmonyOS

Countly Team

Today we're 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's 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's 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 — the parts of the Countly platform not yet covered in this first release — will roll out in subsequent versions. Our goal is full feature 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, with Huawei targeting overseas expansion through 2026 and beyond.

For Countly customers building or operating products in China — particularly those in regulated industries who already rely on Countly for data control and on-premise deployment — this means you can now 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.
