Has HealthKit Changed GPS Standards in iOS 18.4 Beta 4?

I am a developer from mainland China. Today, I noticed that the HKWorkoutRoute data stored by my app in HealthKit shows significant discrepancies when viewed on the workout route map in the Health and Fitness apps on iOS 18.4. Instead of displaying the actual movement path, the route appears to be offset by several hundred meters.

I collected this data using my app on watchOS 11.3.1, and all CLLocation data comes directly from Core Location. I did not convert WGS84 standard data to GCJ02. Reviewing historical data, all workout routes before March 17, 2025, appear correct, but every record after that date exhibits the offset issue.

Since you're seeing this in an iOS 18.4 beta, can you file a bug report along with some examples of the data discrepancy that you're seeing, along the dates?

I have created a Feedback FB17024450 report and included more details about the environment along with additional video recordings. Hope this helps.
