Huawei Mobile Services SDK not compliant with Google Play Policies

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Google Play Support just sent me an email Today about issue with Huawei Mobile Services SDK. I was try to search which packages has used Huawei by grep -R huawei node_modules. But only react-native-device-info has used it.

Can you guys help to take a look?

Issue

Your app contains content that doesn’t comply with the Device and Network Abuse policy. We found your app is using a non-compliant version of Huawei Mobile Services SDK which contains code to download or install applications from unknown sources outside of Google Play.

After 120 days, new app releases containing this non-compliant version of this SDK will be rejected. This SDK version violates Device & Network Abuse policy.

Given the nature of the SDK, we request that you remove it from the version of your app submitted to the Play Store.

Great, that’s definitely one way to do it. It doesn’t solve the fundamental problem though, someone needs to invest the time to fix this for real with Google:

appeal to them and figure out why simply checking availability is a violation?
see if there is an updated HMS class that we should be using

This library has an incredible number of users, many of which are commercial uses making money I’m sure. Take the time to invest back in your open source dependencies, like this one, and drive it forward. Please work with Google to figure this out
