I am encountering issues on my device running iOS 18 that fetching heart rate samples associated to a given workout is very slow. Like 10+ seconds slow. This is unacceptable and unexpected. In producing a video to attach to a feedback, I also observed that Apple Health app displays incorrect information if a workout effort score is associated to a workout. In this image, you can see the Health app bug: Total Resting Energy != Estimated Workout Effort Score Here is the same workout after I delete the workout effort score using the Apple Health app: Can anyone else see if attempting to view 'heart rate' data within the workout summary in Apple Health is unbearably slow if that workout also has an effort score associated? My steps: Record workout (Apple Activity app on watchOS) Associate effort score View the workout on Apple Health (iOS) Attempt to view it's heart rate samples Observe very slow loading times Observe the incorrect cell label and value and disappearance of resting energy cell data Remove/disassociate the effort score from the workout by tapping the workout effort row, and swipe to delete the value. Navigate back, navigate back, and then go into the workout detail again At this time the UI fixes itself, but the loading of heart rate data is still super slow FB15269657 - HealthKit: Sample query to fetch heart rate samples associated to a workout is taking over 10 seconds - computing 'time in heart rate zone' FB15278790 - Health: Workout summary 'Total Resting Energy' label has value of 'Estimated Workout Effort Score' for a value, pushed view shows empty

Hello HealthKit Experts & Enthusiasts! I am building an app called one sec which forces people to take a deep breath before they can use social media apps (it’s using Shortcuts Automations for that). One important feature of one sec is the Good Morning Countdown: For a specified time after waking up (e.g. 30mins) selected apps are blocked completely. This helps to start the day screen-free. They way it works is, the user grants access to read HKCategoryTypeIdentifier.sleepAnalysis data. I have implemented a HKObserverQuery and enableBackgroundDelivery in order to be informed whenever new HKCategoryTypeIdentifier.sleepAnalysis becomes available. I noticed that when I have my device connected to Xcode, this works as expected. However, when I quit the app and launch it from my Home Screen, my observer query is not informed about new sleep data (except when my app is running in foreground). Any ideas? Furthermore, I have noticed that sometimes sleep data is provided delayed to HealthKit, many minutes (sometimes even longer) after waking up, no sleep samples are to be found in the Health app. Of course, for my app it is crucial to get accurate + timely so apps can be blocked accordingly. Is this an issue that the Apple Watch first needs to send the samples to the phone? Thanks a lot for your help!

HealthKit tracker Id is the same with another Device, We are using an application to track our health progress and we are trying to connect our HealthKit to monitor our health data (steps and calories) but unfortunately we can't connect to the app (another application) at the same time because two devices is sharing just one health kit tracker ID. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue? Old phone was used by the other person before changing to new phone

Hello, We're encountering overlapping segments and discrepancies when analyzing running/workout data for a 5-mile run. The expected splits for the run are: 8:39 9:06 8:30 8:39 8:43 0:08 However, the raw data includes segments where start times begin before the previous segment ends, and there are duplicate start times. Below is a sample of the raw data: "startDate": "2024-09-09T19:32:00.308-0400", "eventType": "segment", "eventTypeInt": 7, "endDate": "2024-09-09T19:37:56.135-0400" }, { "startDate": "2024-09-09T19:32:00.308-0400", "eventType": "segment", "eventTypeInt": 7, "endDate": "2024-09-09T19:41:08.476-0400" },``` // Here's an example of where the second segment start time falls in side the first segments startDate and endDate "startDate": "2024-09-09T19:54:22.658-0400", "eventType": "segment", "eventTypeInt": 7, "endDate": "2024-09-09T19:59:41.215-0400" }, { "startDate": "2024-09-09T19:58:44.624-0400", "eventType": "segment", "eventTypeInt": 7, "endDate": "2024-09-09T20:07:23.216-0400"

I have an iOS application for the iPhone that works with a companion app on the Apple Watch, using CoreMotion to provide data. How can I launch the Apple Watch companion app from the iPhone app before starting data recording? Can startWatchAppWithWorkoutConfiguration(...) be used for this without registering an actual workout with HealthKit? Or can I register this action as a new custom workout?

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?

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

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 ?

My team and I are working on an app for a private emergency helpline. Now as far as I understand the (sparse) API documentation for fall detection, given the appropriate entitlement, the following happens upon a detected fall: The Standard UI will be opened with the options to a) call SOS b) acknowledge the fall but state that you're fine though, c) deny the fall, and (implicitly after 60 seconds on inactivity) call SOS because you didn't react. All fall detection apps will then receive a bit of background time and get the func fallDetectionManager(CMFallDetectionManager, didDetect: CMFallDetectionEvent, completionHandler: () -> Void) called with the appropriate event value. Now that's all good and it sounds like the custom fall detection is additive to the standard system. But but why is there something like that in the entitlement request form sheet: For any emergency calling features that you do not provide, explain any mitigations you use to make sure the user receives emergency services support that’s as close as possible to what they’d receive had they placed an emergency call natively. This sounds like our app would rather be a drop-in to the standard SOS service ­– in contrast to being additive and also in contrast to what the API documentation infers. Am I misunderstanding something?

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.

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

Does watchOS 11 detect naps? Are these recorded as 'asleep' samples in Apple Health?

I am building an app that sends workout data to Apple Fitness. During development I noticed that my App Icon does not show up in Apple Fitness and it's just a blank space. The Icon seems to show just fine in Apple Health but not in Apple Fitness. I did the same test with the production version of my app and I can see the production icon just fine in Apple Fitness. I am trying to find information about which app Apple Fitness uses since it seems to differ from the one Apple Health uses. ChatGPT seems to think that Apple Fitness uses the App Store Connect icon (which I have for my prod app but not my dev app), but I cannot seem to verify that assumption with any kind of documentation. Can I please get information about which icon specifically Apple Fitness uses when displaying third party app integration information?

Hi there! I've using the betas for a month now, and 18.1 at the moment. I've always had my Health App crashing once I tap on "Treatments". Is it a know bug? Is it working properly on your phones? I've already sent a feedback, but got not answer yet. Thanks ^^ must add the same happens on my iPad using beta version as well

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?

We have an app that takes data from the accelerometer of the iPhone and watchOS. Some updates ago we included the high-frequency accelerometer for the watchOS with the CMBatchedSensorManager framework. We didn't test our app on iOS 16 or 15 devices, where that framework is unavailable, because the update was just for watchOS. We refer to that class just on a shared class, and was wrapped with an #if os(watchOS) condition. In our iPhone app, we import the CoreMotion framework but CMBatchedSensorManager is not used. Now, when you run the app on a device with iOS 15 you find this issue: dyld[17071]: Symbol not found: (OBJC_CLASS$_CMBatchedSensorManager) Referenced from: '/private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/C3CC754F-1674-4CBD-AD83-93229DDCF38D/Spleeft.app/Spleeft' Expected in: '/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreMotion.framework/CoreMotion' We need a solution to keep running our app on devices with iOS 15.0

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.

On watchOS 11 when starting a workout session a widget appears automatically on the smart stack showing the pause or resume button. It´s a great feature, but my problem is that the duration is not showed correctly because the prepare phase of the workout and the pause / resume events are not taken into account calculating the duration. In my project I don´t use the workout builder. I have made a sample project with workout builder and there the duration is shown correctly. It would be great if this automatically appearing widget would also show the time correctly in case the workout builder is not used (prepare phase and pause resume events considered, otherwise it looks like a bug). Is there any way to opt out of this automatically appearing widget or could this be fixed? Any comments from an Apple engineer on this?

Hello! My sleep process isn't recorded with iPhone only (without wearable device) on iOS 18. On previous iOS versions it was recorded but now it doesn't work. I compare iOS 17 and iOS 18 Beta and I see the difference that in Full Schedule was deleted tumbler "Track Time in Bed with iPhone" that helped to track sleep process without wearable device (I found it here: Health app -> Browse -> Sleep -> Your schedule block and tap on "Full Schedule & Options" -> Scroll to the bottom). I didn't find any information from Apple about this changes in change log. And one more time: I don't use Apple Watch or any wearable device. Do you have any information about sleep tracking with iPhone only? Can I track sleep process only with iPhone?

In my app im able to get the live heart rate when app is in foreground. When app is in background/ locked condition live heart rate is not fetched. How to get live heart rate frequently.
