HarmonyOS (HMOS) is a mobile platform developed by Huawei. It is rapidly gaining popularity in China, and Huawei are open about their ambitions for becoming a global contender to iOS and Android. While the Chinese hacking community has made good progress on finding ways to play with HMOS, it remains fairly unknown (and unhacked) in the West. This is not helped by the fact that the system's development tools are somewhat restricted outside of mainland China.

In this session, I will talk about how HMOS works, and why I find it interesting. If you bring a Windows or macOS machine, I will also help you set up a decent playground environment to start with. Our hope is to build a small community of geeks poking the system with a stick before it goes global (if it ever does)
