Huawei AppGallery app name checker and rules
Our check can't see apps that aren't released yet, so Huawei's review has the final say on your name. How our checks work
What can a Huawei AppGallery app name contain?
Between 1 and 64 characters, and you can change it later in your app information. Our checker keeps to 2 to 30 characters, like Google Play. Huawei's review rejects generic words, other brands without authorization, names close to another app and names that don't fit the app.
| Rejected | What it means |
|---|---|
| Generic words | Terms like "Kit", "Tool" or "Action game", or hot search keywords |
| Another brand | Only with the brand owner's authorization in advance |
| Close to another app | Names similar to another developer's app |
| Doesn't match the app | The name must fit what the app actually does |
How do you get your app name on AppGallery?
- Check the name above, with Google Play, Samsung Galaxy Store and the .com.
- Register with HUAWEI Developers and verify your identity.
- Sign in to AppGallery Connect, open My apps and create your app with its name.
- Submit it for review, which generally takes 3 to 5 working days.[1, 2, 3]
What should you know before you join HUAWEI Developers?

What can go wrong on AppGallery, and how do you fix it?
Most rejections come from generic or borrowed names, and most fixes start with a rename.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Name too generic | Use a distinctive brand name instead of common words |
| Name close to another app | Rename it, or send authorization or proof you own the trademark |
| Another brand in the name | Get the owner's authorization before you submit |
