[Update: APKMirror Source and Split APKs] Huawei's Petal Search is a search engine that helps you find and download apps and games
While developers continue to upload new apps to AppGallery, Huawei made Petal Search to help users find and download apps and games without the Play Store.
Ever since the U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to restrict U.S. companies from supplying products and services to Huawei, the road has been difficult for the Chinese smartphone brand. The most damaging fallout from the executive order was the fact that Huawei could no longer ship new smartphones and tablets with Google Play Services, and by extension, the Google Play Store. Since May of 2019, Huawei has been working to convince developers and users about its alternative software ecosystem based on Android. Some of the pieces of that puzzle include the crucial HMS Core and the Huawei AppGallery, which are alternatives to Google Play Services and the Google Play Store respectively. But Huawei knows that there are still improvements to be made, especially in reducing friction for its customers who are trying to find and download the apps that they are familiar with. We hear about new apps and services being added to AppGallery each day, but there are still many apps (like WhatsApp) that are not yet available in the store. This is where Petal Search comes in. It's a search engine and Huawei's newest app solution that aims to augment the Huawei AppGallery for app distribution and discovery.
