Google Ends Android Collaboration With Huawei. No Gmail, Play Store For Future Huawei Phones

'Alphabet Inc's Google has suspended business with Huawei that
requires the transfer of hardware and software products except those
covered by open source licenses, a source close to the matter told
Reuters on Sunday, in a blow to the Chinese technology company that
the U.S. government has sought to blacklist around the world.

Huawei Technologies Co Ltd will immediately lose access to updates to
the Android operating system, and the next version of its smartphones
outside of China will also lose access to popular applications and
services including the Google Play Store and Gmail app... Huawei will
continue to have access to the version of the Android operating system
available through the open source license that is freely open to
anyone who wishes to use it. But Google will stop providing any
technical support and collaboration for Android and Google services to
Huawei going forward, the source said.'
