I greatly doubt they'll break android app compatibility. Too many huawei phone users rely on android apps.
I imagine their goal is to not be reliant on Google ecosystem though. That means providing their own set of services and their own app store. So, they'd have to go through the exercise of updating existing apps for that. Breaking compatibility might just mean switching out gservices.
I use the huawei app gallery rn even on another device, and my huawei watch requires a huawei services background app, similar to google play services.
Makes sense, they basically have to go this route because US could force Google to shut down services for Huawei any time.
They 100% are doing it. It seems a bit crazy and I'm sure there will be virtual environments at launch, but they are breaking compatibility.
