Apple Watch to App info

Hello,

I am wondering whether a 3rd party application (which i wish to develop) can request information, such as heart rate, from the apple watch. I wish for my app to have heart rate, as an input. Is this possible?

kind regards

That is possible if you request user's authorisation:

In fact you request info from HealthKit store:

Note

Because health data may contain sensitive, personal information, apps must receive permission from the user to read data from or write data to the HealthKit store. They must also take steps to protect that data at all times. For more information, see Protecting User Privacy. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/protecting_user_privacy
