Is Huawei's APM Android SDK Compatible with Other Similar Products?

APM usually implements bytecode instrumentation based on the ASM framework. This technology allows developers to dynamically modify the bytecode of an application to monitor its performance without changing the source code.

However, if multiple APM tools are installed, the code will be instrumented multiple times. Different tools may conflict with each other, causing compilation errors and performance problems. For example, one tool may modify the bytecode of a method, while another tool may attempt to modify the same bytecode. Such conflicts may cause runtime exceptions or inconsistent behavior. In addition, frequent instrumentation may increase the application startup time and running overhead, affecting performance.

Therefore, you are advised to install only one APM tool in a project to ensure application stability and performance.
