The first question is that lack copyright qualification.

You need to submit the copyright qualification according to your own app classification and the regulations in this document:

Submission of Copyright and Publication Approval Number

You may upload it directly in console-App service-AppGallery Connect-my apps-select your app-version information-copyright information--upload certificates -resubmit your app for review.

Second question: It's also written in the email,

You need to add the privacy statement to your app. Generally, you can add the privacy statement to your app login home page or my module.

Looks like this question was answered by Shirley and moved to:

How to provide The Computer Software Copyright Certificate in China

My supplemental answer:

Shirley has answered most of your questions. To supplement her answer and respond to your question - "How to i have The Computer Software Copyright Certificate to provide huawei appgallery (in China Mainland)?", it is correct that you will need to apply for Software Copyright Certificate, however you must have a China Mainland entity such as China identity card or China registered corporation to apply. If you are not a China citizen or don't have a company in China, there is no way to apply for this certificate; in that case most non-China developers use proxy companies like AppInChina to publish on their behalf.

Certain app categories such as "Tool" are exempted from Computer Software Copyright Certificate requirement so you are eligible to publish in China Mainland.

If your app is not published in China Mainland, please review app review remark in your email. The common issues are:

• privacy notice not accessible from within China

• user cannot review privacy statement

• user account registration/login problem

• SMS code verification issue

• app content unavailable (developer should test app using a China VPN and see if it perform normally)
