Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I have really good news to share with all of you. As you have already read the title, we have finally found a working version of the Google Play Store on the EMUI 9. Thanks to our site user Tonny, who found the working Play Store version and reported it. Tonny successfully installed the Play Store on his Huawei Mate 9 running on EMUI 9.0.1.179. We are going to share the same Google Play Store APK with all of you here. You can find the Google Play Store APK for EMUI 9 here. Before you install the Play Store on EMUI 9, let me tell you why it wasn’t working before.

Google Play Store on EMUI
In order to abide by the laws of the Great Firewall of China, phone makers like Huawei and Xiaomi remove the Play Store and Play Services from there devices. Huawei does this with all of its Huawei and Honor devices.
Previously, it was easily possible to install the Play Store on Chinese phones using third-party installers and apps. Starting with the EMUI 9, Huawei blocked the Play Store installation even with those installers.
This is when things took a frustrating turn. The Huawei and Honor owners were quite angry and they have been leaving their feedback on our site every now and then.
I have been trying to keep our respective Huawei and Honor users with all the latest updates regarding the Google Play Store, and they have remained equally cooperative too. As a result, Tonny shared how he got the Play Store running on his phone, and I believe it is totally fair to help all other users do the same.
If you want to learn more about the restrictions in China, you can take a look at this post here, here, here, and here.

Conclusion
As a Huawei P30 Lite Chinese owner, I can totally understand the pain you are going through. This time on the EMUI 9 without the Play Store has been the darkest phase of my life so far. But now, things should settle down well. If you were able to install the Play Store using this new version, please drop your feedback in the comments section below. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. That’s all.
Good list, Abdullah Akbar! I also use PicsArt photo editor and I am very much satisfied with all the functions and capabilities it suggests.
By the way PicsArt is written as a one word PICSART and not separately! 🙂
In my Honor 10 Lite did not work. It must be because it does not come with google play services already installed. I tried to install separately but it did not work either.
This still doesn’t work. I installed as advised above but then when I launch the app I get a white screen for a fraction of second and closes. The phone is Honor 8A (EMUI 9.0.1) purchased in China just a few days ago. Please help!
Just updated EMUI to 9.0.1, tried few strategies you described but nothing works 🙁
Stil no Play Store for me (did not dowgrade for EMUI 8 yet)
Waiting for a final solution

I have this same issue
I FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURE BUT WHEN I REACHED THE PLAY STORE PAGE I COULD NOT SIGN IN ON MY HONOR 8X
PLS HELP
I think you are mistaken, you wrote “In order to abide by the laws of the Great Firewall of China…”
that’s not correct, It because of the actions of American government that are boycoting Huawei products
that Huawei is forced to look for another OS and create their own playstore
the laws of the great firewall have nothing to do with…
i have installed play store to my huawei mediapad m6 but could not sign in? can you tell me how to get sign in
Nah Sir, Its not working for Huawei Nova5. Its installed but when you click it, its just goes blank, sometimes message pop up as this is not compatible. I have also send you an email.
