Preset Application Configuration Guide

OpenHarmony supports differentiated configuration of preset applications on different devices.

In addition, OpenHarmony provides GetCfgDirList for your application to obtain the preset directories, such as system, chipset, sys_prod, and chip_prod, in ascending order of priority. For example, the priority of chip_prod is higher than that of system.

Configuring the Preset Applications to Be Installed

Procedure

1. Add the application name in the preset directory as the application directory.
2. Preset the application in the application directory, for example, /system/app/Hiworld/entry.hap.
3. Add the application directory to install_list.json and configure removable as required.

Example

{
    "install_list" : [
        {
            "app_dir" : "/system/app/Hiworld",
            "removable": false // The application cannot be uninstalled.
        }
    ]
}

Configuring the Preset Applications Not to Be Installed

The configuration priority of uninstall_list.json is higher than that of install_list.json. The applications added to uninstall_list.json will not be installed.

Example 1:

/system/etc/app/uninstall_list.json
{
    "uninstall_list": ["/system/app/Hiworld"], // Hiworld will not be installed.
    "recover_list" : []
}

Example 2:

/system/etc/app/uninstall_list.json
{
    "uninstall_list" : ["/system/app/Hiworld"],
    "recover_list" : []
}

/chipset/etc/app/uninstall_list.json
{
    "uninstall_list" : [],
    "recover_list": ["/system/app/Hiworld"] // Hiworld will be installed.
}
