cronet

Cronet is a network request library developed by the Google team to replace curl and is widely used on Android. It is currently also supported on HarmonyOS, but it is different from the use of curl. We suggest first building the corresponding .so file, and then directly loading the corresponding capabilities in the business code to implement the use, rather than building with the business code.

There are two reasons why we choose the pre-built solution.

1. Cronet merely offers a build strategy that relies on gn and ninja, while the Rust ecosystem appears to lack robust capabilities.
2. To get it operational on HarmonyOS, we need to supply some extra patches for platform compatibility, and the source code package is excessively large.

You can refer to this guide to build the required .so file.
