Huawei DevEco Studio is a one-stop integrated development environment (IDE) powered by IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. It allows you to create project templates, and develop, build, debug, and launch end-to-end HarmonyOS applications, thus enabling you to innovate and develop products.
Creators with eligible resources can download this version from the company’s official website. Users of 64-bit Windows 10 and MacOS 10.14/10.15/11.2.2 with a minimum of 8GB of RAM, 100GB of internal storage, and 1280×800 pixel resolution can download this version.
DevEco Basic Tools and Features:
With the power of HarmonyOS, developers can easily create cross-device applications on a single platform. Furthermore, it improves working efficiency and accuracy with its convenient features.
In addition to the basic functions of developing, compiling, building, and commissioning the code, it also offers the facilities mentioned below.
- Multi-device Unified Development Environment: Provides application development for multiple HarmonyOS devices, including smartphones, tablets, automobiles, smart screens, smart wearables, LiteWearable, and smart visions.
- Multi-language Code Development and Debugging Support: The new version includes Java, XML, C/C++, JS, CSS, and HML (HarmonyOS Markup Language) linguistic support.
