SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PlantSnap, a mobile application that allows users to instantly identify plants with just a few clicks, while also connecting them with a global community of plant and nature enthusiasts, has been released in AppGallery.

"PlantSnap is thrilled to partner with Huawei and join the AppGallery. People in mainland China are concerned about the environment and are taking great measures to protect it, and PlantSnap will now be able to help their effort," said Eric Ralls, Founder and CEO of PlantSnap, Inc. "We wouldn't have had access to that market without Huawei's help."

• Get together any time of the year and post photos to discuss gardening and nature conservation

Technology Support from Huawei

"Huawei has provided us with every resource, from phones for testing to budget for partnership marketing and development," said Ralls. "The capabilities and services provided by HMS were easily interchangeable inside our existing infrastructure, which made the whole migration process seamless."

Many Huawei kits were integrated into the application, including Account Kit, In-App Purchases Kit, Analytics Kit, Remote Configuration, Auth Service, Push Kit, Location Kit, and more.  Huawei also played a crucial role in helping PlantSnap obtain the licensing needed to be published and sold in mainland China, where there are currently over 850 million potential users.
