VLC can be downloaded again via the Play Store and installed on a Huawei smartphone. VideoLAN had blacklisted the Chinese manufacturer, accusing it of preventing playback of audio files in the background. Huawei has since changed its firmware and users can again use the media player normally on their mobile.
In July 2018, VLC blacklisted Huawei and prevented users from installing the application on their branded smartphone through the Play Store. VideoLAN, the developer of the media player, explained at the time to have made this decision because Huawei prevented many applications from running in the background. It was not possible to listen to audio content in the background on his mobile.
Huawei is no longer blacklisted, you can install VLC on your smartphone
As reported by Android Police, it is again possible to install VLC on a Huawei smartphone. We ourselves did the test on a P20, and we were able to install and launch the application without any problem. In fact, VideoLAN indicates that Huawei has not been blacklisted for some time now, without giving a specific date. But had chosen not to communicate about it. It is said that the Chinese manufacturer has changed its firmware to fall back into the good graces of VLC developers.
