An annoying challenge arises on devices where both Play Store and Huawei AppGallery are installed. I distribute the same app with the same signature, but different mechanisms for purchasing access to premium functionality. If a user has installed the app from Play Store, and has acquired an in-app purchase, unfortunately the AppGallery updates the app also for this user, thus making him loose the purchase.

It's possible to upload the same APK file to both Google Play Store and HUAWEI AppGallery. But if your app uses GMS features like Google Sign-In or Firebase Cloud Messaging, it won't work well on the devices that don't have GMS, like Mate 30, P40, and any other new devices. Huawei app reviewers won't set it visible on HUAWEI AppGallery. It's recommended that you use GMS if a device supports GMS; otherwise, use HMS (Huawei Mobile Services).

You can use absolutely the same *.apk (not *.aab). The only problem (at least for us) is the absence google services =( So if you use pushes or remote config or smt like this it might be a problem. When it comes to firebase you can check services which require google services here
