HealthKit permissions not honoring user selection

I'm dealing with a strange bug where I am requesting read access for 'appleExerciseTime' and 'activitySummaryType', and despite enabling both in the permission sheet, they are being set to 'sharingDenied'.

I'm writing a Swift Test for making sure permissions are being granted.

@Test
func PermissionsGranted() {
    try await self.manager.getPermissions()

    for type in await manager.allHealthTypes {
        let status = await manager.healthStore.authorizationStatus(for: type)
        #expect(status == .sharingAuthorized, "\(type) authorization status is \(status)")
    }
}

let healthTypesToShare: Set<HKSampleType> = [
    HKQuantityType(.bodyMass),
    HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage),
    HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass),
    HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned),
    HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned),
    HKObjectType.workoutType()
]
let allHealthTypes: Set<HKObjectType> = [
    HKQuantityType(.bodyMass),
    HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage),
    HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass),
    HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned),
    HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned),
    HKQuantityType(.appleExerciseTime),
    HKObjectType.activitySummaryType()
]
let healthStore = HKHealthStore()

func getPermissions() async throws {
    try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: self.healthTypesToShare, read: self.allHealthTypes)
}

After 'getPermissions' runs, the permission sheet shows up on the Simulator, and I accept all. I've double checked that the failing permissions show up on the sheet and are enabled. Then the test fails with:

Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)

With the rawValue of '1' being 'sharingDenied'. All other permissions are granted. Is there a workaround here, or something I'm potentially doing wrong?

Would you mind to be clear what HealthKit types hitting .sharingDenied? If they are .appleExerciseTime and .activitySummaryType, the behavior will be as-designed because they are not in healthTypesToShare, as shown in your code snippet.
