HKLiveWorkoutBuilder only reporting heart rate - No other measurements
I'm using Healthkit with the following H/W specs: Apple Watch, series 8, OS: 10.6.1 (21U580) iPhone 11 Pro, OS: 17.6.1 Mac Studio M1 Xcode ver: 16.0 (16A242d) I am trying to get Apple Watch to report heart rate, HRV, respiratory rate, and body temperature using Healthkit's HKLiveWorkoutBuilder implementing HKLiveWorkoutBuilderDelegate's workoutBuilder method. However, the only reported value that is found from the workoutBuilder method's collectedTypes (a Set of HKSampleType objects) is HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRate. Nothing for HRV, respiratory rate, or body temperature. All entitlements are set up, the plist filled in, and capabilities in place. Not sure why only the heart rate is reported from the watch but nothing else. I've scoured StackOverflow, Apple developer forums, even ChatGPT but none of the solutions work. Any help most appreciate! The model code is: import Foundation import HealthKit class WatchModel: NSObject, HKLiveWorkoutBuilderDelegate, HKWorkoutSessionDelegate { private let healthStore = HKHealthStore() private var workoutSession: HKWorkoutSession! private var workoutBuilder: HKLiveWorkoutBuilder! override init() { super.init() requestAuthorization() startWorkoutSession() } private func requestAuthorization() { let heartRateType = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRate)! let respiratoryRateType = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .respiratoryRate)! let HRVRateType = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRateVariabilitySDNN)! let temperatureRateType = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .bodyTemperature)! let healthDataTypes: Set = [heartRateType, respiratoryRateType, HRVRateType, temperatureRateType] healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: healthDataTypes, read: healthDataTypes) { (success, error) in if !success { print("Authorization failed") } } } func workoutSession(_ workoutSession: HKWorkoutSession, didChangeTo toState: HKWorkoutSessionState, from fromState: HKWorkoutSessionState, date: Date) { } func workoutSession(_ workoutSession: HKWorkoutSession, didFailWithError error: any Error) { } func workoutBuilderDidCollectEvent(_ workoutBuilder: HKLiveWorkoutBuilder) { } func startWorkoutSession() { let configuration = HKWorkoutConfiguration() configuration.activityType = .other configuration.locationType = .indoor do { workoutSession = try HKWorkoutSession(healthStore: healthStore, configuration: configuration) workoutBuilder = workoutSession.associatedWorkoutBuilder() workoutBuilder.delegate = self workoutBuilder.dataSource = HKLiveWorkoutDataSource(healthStore: healthStore, workoutConfiguration: configuration) let dataSource = HKLiveWorkoutDataSource(healthStore: healthStore, workoutConfiguration: configuration) let respiratoryRate = HKQuantityType(.respiratoryRate) dataSource.enableCollection(for: respiratoryRate, predicate: nil) let bodyTemp = HKQuantityType(.bodyTemperature) dataSource.enableCollection(for: bodyTemp, predicate: nil) let hrv = HKQuantityType(.heartRateVariabilitySDNN) dataSource.enableCollection(for: hrv, predicate: nil) workoutSession.delegate = self workoutSession.startActivity(with: Date()) workoutBuilder.beginCollection(withStart: Date(), completion: { (success, error) in if let error = error { print("Error starting collection: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }) } catch { print("Failed to start workout session: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } func workoutBuilder(_ workoutBuilder: HKLiveWorkoutBuilder, didCollectDataOf collectedTypes: Set<HKSampleType>) { print("collected types: \(collectedTypes)") for type in collectedTypes { if let quantityType = type as? HKQuantityType { if quantityType == HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRate) { if let heartRateQuantity = workoutBuilder.statistics(for: quantityType)?.mostRecentQuantity() { let heartRateUnit = HKUnit(from: "count/min") let heartRateValue = heartRateQuantity.doubleValue(for: heartRateUnit) print("heart rate: \(heartRateValue)") } } if quantityType == HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRateVariabilitySDNN) { if let hrvQuantity = workoutBuilder.statistics(for: quantityType)?.mostRecentQuantity() { let hrvUnit = HKUnit.secondUnit(with: .milli) let hrvValue = hrvQuantity.doubleValue(for: hrvUnit) print("HRV: \(hrvValue)") } } if quantityType == HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .bodyTemperature) { if let bodyTempQuantity = workoutBuilder.statistics(for: quantityType)?.mostRecentQuantity() { let tempUnit = HKUnit.degreeCelsius() let tempValue = bodyTempQuantity.doubleValue(for: tempUnit) print("body temp: \(tempValue)") } } if quantityType == HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .respiratoryRate) { if let respRateQuantity = workoutBuilder.statistics(for: quantityType)?.mostRecentQuantity() { let respRateUnit = HKUnit(from: "count/min") let respRateValue = respRateQuantity.doubleValue(for: respRateUnit) print("breathing: \(respRateValue)") } } } } } }

recoverActiveWorkoutSession() inaccurate for paused sessions
When a workout session is being recovered, if it is paused, the elapsed time will be incorrect. It will seem like that workout never was paused. The recovery works fine if the workout was never paused. Steps to reproduce: Implement recoverActiveWorkoutSession Start workout Pause session and print the elapsed time Stop simulator / cause crash When recoverActiveWorkoutSession is called the elapsed time will not equal the elapsed time when the session was paused. Here is my implementation. I haven't seen any examples online. guard let recovered = try? await healthStore.recoverActiveWorkoutSession() else {return} self.session = recovered self.builder = recovered.associatedWorkoutBuilder() self.session?.delegate = self self.builder?.delegate = self self.builder?.dataSource = HKLiveWorkoutDataSource(healthStore: healthStore, workoutConfiguration: recovered.workoutConfiguration) self.sessionState = recovered.state

What's the correct way to check for unavailable API?
I ran into a problem recently with my production app and an update for iOS 18. In this example I was using a new API added to the RC candidate of iOS 18.0, using this API as an example, I couldn't find a satisfactory way to avoid crashing on iOS 18.1 where the API was not available. I had plenty of users running the iOS 18.1 Beta and ultimately it's my fault if a version of my app did work, and then didn't after an update.... This code causes a crash on iOS 18.1 beta as the .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances API doesn't seem to have made it's way into the beta: if #available(iOS 18.0, *), #available(watchOS 11, *) { healthKitTypesToRead.insert(HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances)!) } I tried this but it still crashed on 18.1: if #available(iOS 18.0, *), #available(watchOS 11, *) { if let newQuantity = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances) { healthKitTypesToRead.insert(newQuantity) } } In the end the only way I could resolve this was the following: if #available(iOS 18.1, *){ // Do nothing } else if #available(iOS 18.0, *), #available(watchOS 11, *) { if let newQuantity = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances) { healthKitTypesToRead.insert(newQuantity) } } This seems like a poor solution and I'll have to ensure I release a new version of the app once iOS 18.1 has the available API added to enable support for the feature. How could I have checked availability for this API correctly without causing the app to crash? I'm asking this question more as a Swift language feature rather than issue with the specific API as I'm sure that will get resolved soon anyway. Thanks

Regular step count fetch and upload to API
Hello all, I am quite new to iOS and Swift, and before venturing further, I feel it's better to ask for advice. I have build a Type I diabetes simulator running as a NodeJS application on a server. The clients authenticate via a browser using Fitbit/Google oauth2, set up a virtual patient, then take care of the patient 24/7. The app imports the users steps and heartrate, as these influence the blood sugar variations. (https://cgmsim.com) I designed a companion app with Expo, adding high/log blood glucose alerts with push notifications. If the user doesn't have a Fitbit tracker or doesn't use Google Fit, I'd like to send their HealthKit step counts to the backend. (Using sensor data directly in Android). It works using Expo's Background Fetch and TaskManager, but the uploads from the iOS device are very irregular. I set up silent push notifications from the backend to wake up the app in the background and trigger the step count upload. It works, but it is not reliable enough. I now wrote my first local native module for iOS, where a HKObserverQuery listening for new step events, making the upload and sending the count to the JS for rendering. I used enableBackgroundDelivery and BackgroundTask for uploading the results. All the entitlements and Info.plist entries should be ok. Still my app works well only in the foreground, and not upload at all happens when in the background. As we all do, I asked Claude, and it assured me th app should work. I have doubts though, as I noticed how strict iOS is about executing background tasks. So... should I even expect this to work ?

Workouts, activity rings, samples and more not syncing across devices running iOS 18 RC and watchOS 11 RC
I noticed last night that workouts I have been recording on my main carry device running 17.6.x have not been syncing to my beta devices running iOS 18 RC, iPadOS 18 RC and watchOS 11 RC. All devices are using the same Apple Account and I have iCloud enabled for Health data. The iPad running the RC has the syncing enabled in Profile. Is anyone else experiencing health data not propagating to the 18.x devices? Some of data exists on all devices but not all. For good measure I left the device unlocked on the health app last night for a long period of time to let it do its thing. This morning the data still hadn't propagated. I disabled and reenabled the synchronization on my iPad having chosen to delete all samples when disabling it. Hopefully all of my data dating back to the first Apple Watch in 2014 restores. FWIW my data set according to iCloud settings my health dataset is just shy of 650 MB.

Health Export not complete
Good evening, when I use the automatic export feature from my iPhone, it successfully exports data. When reading the Export.xml file it is dispayed completely, with about 3 mio lines. When I check the file I see, that a lot of data is missing. E.g. the iPhone dispays the heart rates for several exercises (from last year), which don't have any correspondence in the export.xml file. Current exercises have. I am a developer myself and parsed all files without any error. My iPhone has enough free space (200GB or so) and iCloud has more than a TB free. Internet is connected via 1GBit line, WLAN with 800MBit and everything runs smooth. I would like to get a COMPLETE export of all the health data, without having to write a program on my own to accomplish this. Thank you. /C

I have rejection issues: Healthkit
Like my post title? I'm having issues getting my app accepted by the app store. I keep getting the message: Guideline 2.5.1 - Performance - Software Requirements Your app's binary includes references to HealthKit components, but the app does not appear to include any primary features that require health or fitness data. I don't have healthkit implemented anywhere in my app. I sifted through my app and: Healthkit is not implemented in my infoplist There are no HK imports My app doesn't reveal any references to "Health Kit" when I do a project wide search. The only thing I can think of is that there's an issue with my use of firebase. I'm wondering if I somehow inserted healthkit functionality in to firebase accidentally. Has anyone else had this problem before? If so, how did you solve it? Also. How do you rid of healthkit functionality or references to healthkit within firebase?

BGTaskScheduler with
I’m trying to use BGProcessingTaskRequest to fetch step data in the background and send it. However, when I combine BGProcessingTaskRequest, HKObserverQuery, and healthStore.enableBackgroundDelivery, the results sometimes return zero.

Apple Health `export.zip` doesn't include several important data points.
Heya, I'm currently building out my own application for tracking my health information, and I'm hoping to collect my historical data from Apple Health. Sadly, it would appear that certain things I wish to export don't appear in the export.xml file. Some of the things that I would expect to find in the export.xml file, that do not currently appear, are as follows: More data about my medications, currently I can only export a list of my medications, its not possible to export data such as when what medication was taken. Logged emotions; there is currently no support for this (that I can find). Would appreciate some insight into this.

App not compatible with iPad model, but it is?
I’m having an issue with my published iPad app on the App Store where a selection of users (but not all) are finding they are unable to download my app on their iPad. The app recently was updated to support only devices Running iOS/iPadOS 17 and also added iPad support as HealthKit is available there now. The App Store listing correctly shows it as compatible but for some reasons user still see incompatibility messages. This makes no sense as the app has been full built and tested on iPad and a lot of users are using it fine. All the iPads in question are running ipadOS 17 too. I can only assume this is a bug but I thought I’d post here in case maybe I had an Xcode build setting wrong or something. Thank You

Unable to fetch Water data from HealthKit
Hi All, I am posting this to get some help on fetching Water intake data from Health Kit. I have done (following a similar approach, and perfectly working) the fetch of the user weight, but for the water, somehow, I always receive back 0 samples. I went to the Health App, added few entries (in different days) for the water intake, under the food sections. Then, I use the following snippet to read the values, but I always have 0 values back. What I am doing wrong? let type = HKQuantityType(.dietaryWater) let samplePredicate = HKSamplePredicate.sample(type: type, predicate: nil) // Create the descriptor. let descriptor = HKSampleQueryDescriptor( predicates: [samplePredicate], sortDescriptors: [SortDescriptor(\.endDate, order: .reverse)]) let results = try await descriptor.result(for: hkHealthStore) The results variable is always 0 elements. What I am doing wrong? PS: The permissions are checked and correctly given for this: HKQuantityType(.dietaryWater)

Missing app icon in the Fitness app
My iOS app has a correctly configured HealthKit integration. It successfully delivers all samples and data to HealthKit. For every workout sent to HealthKit, I can see the duration, workout name, calories, and other details. However, the app icon is missing. My project uses the Single Size setting for the app icon in the XCAssets folder. The app is available in the App Store in some regions. What can I do to fix this issue? The problem persists regardless of whether the device is running iOS 17 or 18.

Hi everyone,I'm developing a visionOS app using SwiftUI and RealityKit. I'm facing a challenge with fetching step data from HealthKit.
I have integrated HealthKit into my app to track and display step data. On my iPhone, the step data syncs and shows up immediately. However, when I try to fetch and display this data on my Vision Pro app, there's a noticeable delay before the data appears, even though I've given the necessary permissions and synced data through iCloud. Memory updated Here is your question in a similar format: Hi everyone, I'm developing a visionOS app using SwiftUI and RealityKit. I'm facing a challenge with fetching step data from HealthKit. Scenario: I have integrated HealthKit into my app to track and display step data. On my iPhone, the step data syncs and shows up immediately. However, when I try to fetch and display this data on my Vision Pro app, there's a noticeable delay before the data appears, even though I've given the necessary permissions and synced data through iCloud. Question: Why is there a delay in fetching step data from HealthKit on my Vision Pro app, and how can I reduce this delay to ensure real-time data display? Additional Information: I'm using HKStatisticsQuery to fetch the step data for the current day. The authorization for HealthKit is requested successfully. The data shows up after some time, but the initial delay is causing a poor user experience. Here is the relevant code snippet for fetching today's steps: class HealthManager: ObservableObject { let healthStore = HKHealthStore() @Published var activities: [String: Activity] = [:] init() { let steps = HKQuantityType(.stepCount) let healthTypes: Set = [steps] Task { do { try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: [], read: healthTypes) } catch { print("error fetching health data") } } } func fetchTodaySteps() { let steps = HKQuantityType(.stepCount) let predicate = HKQuery.predicateForSamples(withStart: .startOfDay, end: Date()) let query = HKStatisticsQuery(quantityType: steps, quantitySamplePredicate: predicate) { _, result, error in guard let quantity = result?.sumQuantity(), error == nil else { print("error fetching today's step data") return } let stepCount = quantity.doubleValue(for: .count()) print("stepCount \(stepCount)") } healthStore.execute(query) } } I'm open to alternative approaches if this method isn't the most efficient for real-time data fetching. Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions! Best, Siddharth

HealthKit Inquiry
I am working on my final year project, a mobile workout app using Flutter, and I want to integrate HealthKit for data collection and display. Do I need a paid Apple Developer Program membership to use HealthKit and showcase my app on a physical iPhone for my final presentation? I found information suggesting a free developer account might suffice but mentioned a 7-day app expiration and potential data loss upon rebuilding. Can someone clarify the validity and limitations of using a free developer account for this purpose?

Can my iOS app access live cycling workout session data from the workouts app on the apple watch
Hello, I am trying to build a features where I want to monitor a user's biking workout session metrics like the current speed, average speed and distance travelled. I want to get these metrics as the user is actively doing a workout session in the Workouts app of the apple watch. Is it possible? Or it is not possible to get data from an active workout session from the workouts app.

Resting Heart Rate - Individual readings?
I receive multiple resting heart rate readings throughout the day. I understand these readings are taken during the day while sedentary. However, if I query for: HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .restingHeartRate) I only receive ONE sample for the day, even though throughout the day multiple samples are observed. This is confirmed by looking at the Apple Health app and seeing only one recorded resting heart rate each day. Is there a way to get the individual resting heart rate readings for the .restingHeartRate type or am I stuck with querying the raw heart rate data for sedentary values (which don't always match Apples reported rhr)?

The app imports the users steps and heartrate, as these influence the blood sugar variations. (https://cgmsim.com) I designed a companion app with Expo, adding high/log blood glucose alerts with push notifications. If the user doesn't have a Fitbit tracker or doesn't use Google Fit, I'd like to send their HealthKit step counts to the backend. (Using sensor data directly in Android). It works using Expo's Background Fetch and TaskManager, but the uploads from the iOS device are very irregular. I set up silent push notifications from the backend to wake up the app in the background and trigger the step count upload. It works, but it is not reliable enough. I now wrote my first local native module for iOS, where a HKObserverQuery listening for new step events, making the upload and sending the count to the JS for rendering. I used enableBackgroundDelivery and BackgroundTask for uploading the results. All the entitlements and Info.plist entries should be ok. Still my app works well only in the foreground, and not upload at all happens when in the background. As we all do, I asked Claude, and it assured me th app should work. I have doubts though, as I noticed how strict iOS is about executing background tasks. So... should I even expect this to work ?

Workouts, activity rings, samples and more not syncing across devices running iOS 18 RC and watchOS 11 RC
I noticed last night that workouts I have been recording on my main carry device running 17.6.x have not been syncing to my beta devices running iOS 18 RC, iPadOS 18 RC and watchOS 11 RC. All devices are using the same Apple Account and I have iCloud enabled for Health data. The iPad running the RC has the syncing enabled in Profile. Is anyone else experiencing health data not propagating to the 18.x devices? Some of data exists on all devices but not all. For good measure I left the device unlocked on the health app last night for a long period of time to let it do its thing. This morning the data still hadn't propagated. I disabled and reenabled the synchronization on my iPad having chosen to delete all samples when disabling it. Hopefully all of my data dating back to the first Apple Watch in 2014 restores. FWIW my data set according to iCloud settings my health dataset is just shy of 650 MB.

Health Export not complete
Good evening, when I use the automatic export feature from my iPhone, it successfully exports data. When reading the Export.xml file it is dispayed completely, with about 3 mio lines. When I check the file I see, that a lot of data is missing. E.g. the iPhone dispays the heart rates for several exercises (from last year), which don't have any correspondence in the export.xml file. Current exercises have. I am a developer myself and parsed all files without any error. My iPhone has enough free space (200GB or so) and iCloud has more than a TB free. Internet is connected via 1GBit line, WLAN with 800MBit and everything runs smooth. I would like to get a COMPLETE export of all the health data, without having to write a program on my own to accomplish this. Thank you. /C

I have rejection issues: Healthkit
Like my post title? I'm having issues getting my app accepted by the app store. I keep getting the message: Guideline 2.5.1 - Performance - Software Requirements Your app's binary includes references to HealthKit components, but the app does not appear to include any primary features that require health or fitness data. I don't have healthkit implemented anywhere in my app. I sifted through my app and: Healthkit is not implemented in my infoplist There are no HK imports My app doesn't reveal any references to "Health Kit" when I do a project wide search. The only thing I can think of is that there's an issue with my use of firebase. I'm wondering if I somehow inserted healthkit functionality in to firebase accidentally. Has anyone else had this problem before? If so, how did you solve it? Also. How do you rid of healthkit functionality or references to healthkit within firebase?

BGTaskScheduler with
I’m trying to use BGProcessingTaskRequest to fetch step data in the background and send it. However, when I combine BGProcessingTaskRequest, HKObserverQuery, and healthStore.enableBackgroundDelivery, the results sometimes return zero. When I don’t schedule the BGProcessingTaskRequest, the data retrieved using HKObserverQuery and HKSampleQueryDescriptor is correct. // Register Smart Walking Sync Task func registerSmartWalkingSync() { #if !targetEnvironment(simulator) BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: BGTaskIdentifier.smartwalking.rawValue, using: nil) { task in guard let task = task as?

Apple Health `export.zip` doesn't include several important data points.
Heya, I'm currently building out my own application for tracking my health information, and I'm hoping to collect my historical data from Apple Health. Sadly, it would appear that certain things I wish to export don't appear in the export.xml file. Some of the things that I would expect to find in the export.xml file, that do not currently appear, are as follows: More data about my medications, currently I can only export a list of my medications, its not possible to export data such as when what medication was taken. Logged emotions; there is currently no support for this (that I can find). Would appreciate some insight into this.

Building a multidevice workout app issue
Hi! I've added the code of the multidevice workout app from Apple to my app and I found some issues that I cannot see on the sample app. In my app, to pause or end the workout from the watch, the iOS companion app has to be opened or at least on background, but never closed. What I'm doing wrong?

App not compatible with iPad model, but it is?
I’m having an issue with my published iPad app on the App Store where a selection of users (but not all) are finding they are unable to download my app on their iPad. The app recently was updated to support only devices Running iOS/iPadOS 17 and also added iPad support as HealthKit is available there now. The App Store listing correctly shows it as compatible but for some reasons user still see incompatibility messages. This makes no sense as the app has been full built and tested on iPad and a lot of users are using it fine. All the iPads in question are running ipadOS 17 too. I can only assume this is a bug but I thought I’d post here in case maybe I had an Xcode build setting wrong or something. Thank You

Unable to fetch Water data from HealthKit
Hi All, I am posting this to get some help on fetching Water intake data from Health Kit. I have done (following a similar approach, and perfectly working) the fetch of the user weight, but for the water, somehow, I always receive back 0 samples. I went to the Health App, added few entries (in different days) for the water intake, under the food sections. Then, I use the following snippet to read the values, but I always have 0 values back. What I am doing wrong? let type = HKQuantityType(.dietaryWater) let samplePredicate = HKSamplePredicate.sample(type: type, predicate: nil) // Create the descriptor. let descriptor = HKSampleQueryDescriptor( predicates: [samplePredicate], sortDescriptors: [SortDescriptor(\.endDate, order: .reverse)]) let results = try await descriptor.result(for: hkHealthStore) The results variable is always 0 elements. What I am doing wrong? PS: The permissions are checked and correctly given for this: HKQuantityType(.dietaryWater)

Missing app icon in the Fitness app
My iOS app has a correctly configured HealthKit integration. It successfully delivers all samples and data to HealthKit. For every workout sent to HealthKit, I can see the duration, workout name, calories, and other details. However, the app icon is missing. My project uses the Single Size setting for the app icon in the XCAssets folder. The app is available in the App Store in some regions. What can I do to fix this issue? The problem persists regardless of whether the device is running iOS 17 or 18.

Hi everyone,I'm developing a visionOS app using SwiftUI and RealityKit. I'm facing a challenge with fetching step data from HealthKit.
I have integrated HealthKit into my app to track and display step data. On my iPhone, the step data syncs and shows up immediately. However, when I try to fetch and display this data on my Vision Pro app, there's a noticeable delay before the data appears, even though I've given the necessary permissions and synced data through iCloud. Memory updated Here is your question in a similar format: Hi everyone, I'm developing a visionOS app using SwiftUI and RealityKit. I'm facing a challenge with fetching step data from HealthKit. Scenario: I have integrated HealthKit into my app to track and display step data. On my iPhone, the step data syncs and shows up immediately. However, when I try to fetch and display this data on my Vision Pro app, there's a noticeable delay before the data appears, even though I've given the necessary permissions and synced data through iCloud. Question: Why is there a delay in fetching step data from HealthKit on my Vision Pro app, and how can I reduce this delay to ensure real-time data display? Additional Information: I'm using HKStatisticsQuery to fetch the step data for the current day. The authorization for HealthKit is requested successfully. The data shows up after some time, but the initial delay is causing a poor user experience. Here is the relevant code snippet for fetching today's steps: class HealthManager: ObservableObject { let healthStore = HKHealthStore() @Published var activities: [String: Activity] = [:] init() { let steps = HKQuantityType(.stepCount) let healthTypes: Set = [steps] Task { do { try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: [], read: healthTypes) } catch { print("error fetching health data") } } } func fetchTodaySteps() { let steps = HKQuantityType(.stepCount) let predicate = HKQuery.predicateForSamples(withStart: .startOfDay, end: Date()) let query = HKStatisticsQuery(quantityType: steps, quantitySamplePredicate: predicate) { _, result, error in guard let quantity = result?.sumQuantity(), error == nil else { print("error fetching today's step data") return } let stepCount = quantity.doubleValue(for: .count()) print("stepCount \(stepCount)") } healthStore.execute(query) } } I'm open to alternative approaches if this method isn't the most efficient for real-time data fetching. Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions! Best, Siddharth

Any restrictions on background delivery?
Are there any limitations on how long iOS will continue delivering background updates from HealthKit to the app? Will deliveries be suspended if the user stops opening the app for a few days, a month, or longer?

HealthKit Inquiry
I am working on my final year project, a mobile workout app using Flutter, and I want to integrate HealthKit for data collection and display. Do I need a paid Apple Developer Program membership to use HealthKit and showcase my app on a physical iPhone for my final presentation? I found information suggesting a free developer account might suffice but mentioned a 7-day app expiration and potential data loss upon rebuilding. Can someone clarify the validity and limitations of using a free developer account for this purpose?

Can my iOS app access live cycling workout session data from the workouts app on the apple watch
Hello, I am trying to build a features where I want to monitor a user's biking workout session metrics like the current speed, average speed and distance travelled. I want to get these metrics as the user is actively doing a workout session in the Workouts app of the apple watch. Is it possible? Or it is not possible to get data from an active workout session from the workouts app.

Resting Heart Rate - Individual readings?
I receive multiple resting heart rate readings throughout the day. I understand these readings are taken during the day while sedentary. However, if I query for: HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .restingHeartRate) I only receive ONE sample for the day, even though throughout the day multiple samples are observed. This is confirmed by looking at the Apple Health app and seeing only one recorded resting heart rate each day. Is there a way to get the individual resting heart rate readings for the .restingHeartRate type or am I stuck with querying the raw heart rate data for sedentary values (which don't always match Apples reported rhr)?
