---

2. Installation Guide

Before you get started, you must register as a HUAWEI Developer and complete identity verification on the HUAWEI Developer website. For details, please refer to Register a HUAWEI ID.

2.1. Creating a Project in AppGallery Connect

Creating an app in AppGallery Connect is required in order to communicate with the Huawei services. To create an app, perform the following steps:

1. Sign in to AppGallery Connect and select My projects.
2. Select your project from the project list or create a new one by clicking the Add Project button.
3. Go to Project Setting > General information, and click Add app. If an app exists in the project and you need to add a new one, expand the app selection area on the top of the page and click Add app.
4. On the Add app page, enter the app information, and click OK.

2.2. Configuring the Signing Certificate Fingerprint and Obtaining agconnect-services.json

A signing certificate fingerprint is used to verify the authenticity of an app when it attempts to access an HMS Core (APK) through the HMS SDK. Before using the HMS Core (APK), you must locally generate a signing certificate fingerprint and configure it in the AppGallery Connect. You can refer to 3rd and 4th steps of Generating a Signing Certificate Codelab tutorial for the certificate generation. Perform the following steps after you have generated the certificate.

1. Sign in to AppGallery Connect and select your project from My Projects. Then go to Project Setting > General information. In the App information field, click the icon next to SHA-256 certificate fingerprint, and enter the obtained SHA-256 certificate fingerprint.
2. After completing the configuration, click OK to save the changes. (Check mark icon)
3. In the same page, click agconnect-services.json button to download the configuration file.

2.3. Cordova

1. Install Cordova CLI.

   npm install -g cordova

2. Open the demo project root folder.

3. Add the Android platform to the project.

   cordova platform add android

4. Install HMS Account Plugin to the project.

   cordova plugin add @hmscore/cordova-plugin-hms-account

5. Copy agconnect-services.json file to <project_root>/platforms/android/app directory.

6. Add keystore(.jks) and build.json files to your project's root directory.

   • You can refer to 3rd and 4th steps of Generating a Signing Certificate Codelab tutorial page for generating keystore file.
   • Fill build.json file according to your keystore information. For example:

   {
       "android": {
           "debug": {
               "keystore": "<keystore_file>.jks",
               "storePassword": "<keystore_password>",
               "alias": "<key_alias>",
               "password": "<key_password>"
           },
           "release": {
               "keystore": "<keystore_file>.jks",
               "storePassword": "<keystore_password>",
               "alias": "<key_alias>",
               "password": "<key_password>"
           }
       }
   }

7. Update the widget id property which is specified in the config.xml file. It must be same with client > package_name value of the agconnect-services.json file.

8. Run the application.

   cordova run android --device

3. Configuration and Description

Configuring Obfuscation Scripts

Before building the APK, configure the obfuscation configuration file to prevent the HMS Core SDK from being obfuscated.

NOTE: This step is required only if you want to minify and obfuscate your app. By default obfuscation is disabled in Cordova and Ionic apps.

The obfuscation is done by ProGuard. By default, in Cordova and Ionic apps ProGuard is disabled. Even though ProGuard is not available, ProGuard support can be added through 3rd party ProGuard plugins. If ProGuard is enabled in your project, the Huawei Account plugin's ProGuard rules need to be added to your project. These rules are as follows:

-ignorewarnings
-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keepattributes Exceptions
-keepattributes InnerClasses
-keepattributes Signature
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable
-keep class com.huawei.hianalytics.**{*;}
-keep class com.huawei.updatesdk.**{*;}
-keep class com.huawei.hms.**{*;}
