To find out whether an Android app is listed in China, search each major Chinese app store separately, using the app’s exact package name wherever the store shows one. A listing in one store does not establish a listing in any other, and a missing search result does not prove absence. Confirm the package name on every result before you record it as a match.
Before you search: collect the app’s identifiers
Store search engines do not all match the same things, so start by writing down the identifiers you will test against:

- Android package name, such as
com.example.app. This is the identity key. Display names can be translated, shortened or shared by unrelated apps. - Official English display name as it appears in the Google Play listing or the app’s own materials.
- Chinese display name, if the publisher uses one. Some Chinese stores index only this form.
- Developer or publisher name, used only as a supporting signal.
Step-by-step check across the main stores
Work through the stores in the order below, and record each result separately. The 2026 walkthrough by DEV Community describes the same store set and lookup methods covered here, though the store behaviour it reports can change without notice.
1. Tencent MyApp (应用宝)
Tencent’s store has a package-name detail route. The guide’s example is https://sj.qq.com/appdetail/com.duolingo; substitute your own package name at the end of the path. If a page opens, compare the package name it shows with yours. Be careful with a page that offers a reservation or pre-registration for a different package: that is not the app’s listing, and you should not count it as a match.

2. Huawei AppGallery (华为应用市场)
AppGallery uses Huawei-specific internal IDs, and its site search matches display names rather than package names. Search with the Chinese display name first, then with the English one. Open each candidate and confirm that its package name matches yours before recording a hit. The official portal is Huawei Developer Alliance’s AppGallery page.
3. Xiaomi app store (小米应用商店, GetApps)
Xiaomi’s developer FAQ documents a web lookup in which the Android package name follows id=. The FAQ’s example is https://global.app.mi.com/details?id=ru.bkfon&lo=ID&la=zh. That example points to Xiaomi’s global catalogue and includes country and language parameters, so a hit there shows that the app is in that catalogue, not that it is distributed in mainland China. Check the region you care about. Xiaomi’s FAQ is here.
Rank #2
- Carrier: This phone is locked to Tracfone, which means this device can only be used on the Tracfone wireless network. Tracfone plan required, activating is easy, just 3 steps.
- DISPLAY: Immersive viewing on a 6.7-inch super-bright 120Hz display with powerful stereo speakers and Bass Boost for cinematic entertainment.

- PERFORMANCE: Lightning-fast 5G connectivity paired with a powerful processor and RAM Boost for smooth multitasking.
- BATTERY LIFE: Long-lasting 5000mAh battery with TurboPower charging technology delivers hours of power in minutes.
4. vivo (vivo 应用商店)
Search vivo’s official store catalogue, both in a mobile web store and on a vivo device where needed. The secondary guide describes this route, but I could not confirm the exact web lookup behaviour against official vivo documentation, so treat on-device search as the more reliable check.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
5. OPPO (OPPO 软件商店)
The secondary guide says OPPO’s web presence does not offer a searchable catalogue. Check the OPPO Software Store on an OPPO or ColorOS device, searching by Chinese name and then confirming the package. As with vivo, this method is not confirmed against official OPPO documentation.
Rank #3
- YOUR CONTENT, SUPER SMOOTH: The ultra-clear 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED display of Galaxy A17 5G helps bring your content to life, whether you're scrolling through recipes or video chatting with loved ones.¹

6. Honor and long-tail stores
Honor App Market, 360 Mobile Assistant and Baidu Mobile Assistant appear in AppInChina’s store index, but none of the reviewed sources describes a public package-name lookup for them. For those stores, the method is not stated: search on a device or in the store’s own interface, and confirm the package name on the result. Add these stores only when your target devices or users make them relevant.
| Store | Lookup method reported | Main caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Tencent MyApp (应用宝) | Package-name detail URL, sj.qq.com/appdetail/<package> |
Reservation pages for other packages can appear |
| Huawei AppGallery (华为应用市场) | Site search by display name | Internal IDs are Huawei-specific; confirm the package on the result |
| Xiaomi GetApps (小米应用商店) | Web lookup using id=<package> |
The documented example is a global catalogue; check the region |
| vivo (vivo 应用商店) | Official catalogue, mobile web store and on-device search | Described in a secondary guide, not confirmed against official vivo documentation |
| OPPO (OPPO 软件商店) | On-device search | Web search not available per a secondary guide; not confirmed officially |
| Honor, 360, Baidu | Not stated in the reviewed sources | Check on-device or in the store’s own interface |
How to read the results
- A matching package name is the strongest identity check. A similar icon, title or publisher name is not enough on its own.
- A missing result is inconclusive. Search behaviour differs between stores. Try both the package path and the display-name search, and check the store app itself where the public web catalogue is limited.
- A listing is not the same as distribution in China. A page in an international catalogue does not by itself show that the app is distributed in mainland China. Distribution region is set by the publisher and can be checked separately.
- Listing metadata is a snapshot. Download counts and ratings shown on a store page are only valid for the date you captured them, and should not be compared across stores.
Record your evidence
For each store, keep a short log: store name, search term used, result URL or screenshot, the package name the store displays, the version or update date shown, the visible distribution region, and the date you checked. Mark a result unverified if the store hides the package name or only shows a name match. This matters most when you later need to explain a result to a colleague or a publisher.

Which stores to prioritise
The five stores named most often in these lookups are Tencent MyApp, Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi, vivo and OPPO. AppInChina’s App Store Index, marked “Last Updated: September 2026 (V2.5)”, also lists Honor, 360 Mobile Assistant and Baidu Mobile Assistant. The index gives these estimated market shares: Huawei AppGallery 27.30%, vivo 13.80%, Tencent Appstore 13.70%, Xiaomi 12.60% and OPPO 11.00%. These are the index publisher’s own estimates for September 2026. The page excerpt reviewed does not describe how they were measured, so use them only to decide which stores to check first, not as audited figures and not as evidence that any particular app is listed. The index is at AppInChina’s market page.
If the app is not listed
A missing listing is the start of a publisher decision, not a conclusion about the app itself. The steps below describe what the official sources say; they do not establish what a particular store currently requires.

Huawei AppGallery
Huawei’s developer page describes registering a developer account and completing real-name verification, adding the app’s information and uploading its package, choosing distribution countries or regions, providing a privacy statement, and submitting for review. Huawei also says that apps, including games, need qualification documents required by applicable laws and regulations. Confirm the current requirements on Huawei’s developer portal before you begin.
Xiaomi GetApps
Xiaomi’s official FAQ says that a publisher can change an app’s distribution region through the international app-store developer site and submit the change for review.
Other stores
The onboarding, qualification and submission rules for Tencent, vivo, OPPO, Honor and the long-tail stores were not confirmed against official sources for this article. Check each store’s official developer portal before advising a publisher to submit.

Google’s Android developer-verification documentation says its first regional protections began on September 30, 2026, in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. Google Play, HONOR App Market, OPPO App Market, Samsung Galaxy Store, Transsion Palm Store, vivo V-Appstore and Xiaomi GetApps are listed as partner stores for that first phase. Google says expansion to all apps on certified Android devices globally is planned for 2027. The documentation does not say that China is part of the first phase, so do not treat these requirements as currently applying in China. The source is Android Developers’ developer-verification guide.
