# handleActiveWorkoutRecovery()

Tells the delegate when the app relaunches after crashing during an active workout session.

```
optional func handleActiveWorkoutRecovery()
```

## Discussion

To recover from a crash, call your HealthKit store’s <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/HealthKit/HKHealthStore/recoverActiveWorkoutSession(completion:)> method to receive a new workout session. You can then set up your data source and delegate as described in <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/HealthKit/running-workout-sessions>.
