Huawei also pledged to work with its partners to offer more localised apps on its AppGallery appstore, on which more than 90% of the most popular apps in Singapore were available and had integrated with HMS Core developer framework. Grab, for instance, was the latest to join the platform last month, joining others such as Singapore's COVID-19 contact tracing app TraceTogether, DBS Bank, and ComfortDelGro. The country's e-government app SingPass also was slated to be available in the first half of this year. When asked, Huawei said it could not divulge the number of registered developers in Singapore, but said there were more than 2.3 million worldwide, as of end-2020. This figure was a 77% increase from the previous year, a spokesperson told ZDNet.
