Cannot Successfully Instantiate Huawei Camera Engine (Cloud Debugging)

I have to use the Huawei Camera Engine for a project and -- funnily enough -- have trouble instantiating the CameraKit. I followed the official documentation and instantiated it by using:

private var cameraKit: CameraKit? = null
...
cameraKit = CameraKit.getInstance(applicationContext)

For debugging, I'm using Huawei's official Cloud Debugging option in the App Gallery and the Mate 30. Looking at the logs, however, cameraKit is always null.

Has anyone ever had this problem? I'm guessing it is either null because you cannot use the CameraKit + Cloud Debugging or because there are some extra settings you have to enable in the App Gallery!?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • Contrary to their own statements on the official website for the Camera Engine SDK: enter image description here

    Cloud Debugging + Camera Engine does not work for the Mate 30, but it works fine with the P40 (although not in the official list).
