Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.’s newly launched Mate 30 devices have lost their access to manually install Google’s Android apps, Bloomberg reported on Oct. 1.

According to the report, security researcher John Wu published a blog post on Tuesday that explained how users of Huawei’s Mate 30 Pro were able to manually download and install Google apps, despite a U.S. blacklisting that prohibits the Chinese company from using American components and software.
