The recent WWDC presentation on HealthKit demonstrated how to associate side effects with a medication dose using HKObjectType.categoryType(forIdentifier:) and HKCategorySample, a subclass of HKObject. There also appears to be an object type specifically for medication doses: HKMedicationDoseEventType, accessible via HKObjectType.medicationDoseEventType(). However, there’s no corresponding public subclass of HKObject that supports this identifier. The most relevant class, HKMedicationDoseEvent, exists but has an inaccessible initializer. Is there currently a supported way to use HKMedicationDoseEventType, or is this functionality not yet available? https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/321/

Hi, I've had trouble for a while now with HealthKit giving me different values if I make the request on iOS and WatchOS. I am using the exact same method on both with the same parameters but I get vast differences in the results. The code I am using to call HealthKit on both devices is: let dateRange = HKQuery.predicateForSamples(withStart: Date().removeMonths(numberOfMonths: 1), end: Date().endOfDay()) let predicate: NSPredicate predicate = NSCompoundPredicate(type: .and, subpredicates: [dateRange]) let query = HKStatisticsQuery(quantityType: HKQuantityType(.stepCount), quantitySamplePredicate: predicate, options: .cumulativeSum) { _, result, error in if error != nil { //print("Error fetching step count, or there is no data: \(error.localizedDescription), \(startDate) -> \(endDate)") onComplete(0) return } if let result, let sum = result.sumQuantity() { let stepCount = sum.doubleValue(for: HKUnit.count()) DispatchQueue.main.async { onComplete(Int(stepCount)) } } } healthStore.execute(query) }

I have FB12696743 open since July 21, 2023 and this happened again today. I get home at approx 10 mins after the hour, walk appox 50 ft across my yard, up 5 steps into my house, let the dog out and pace on my deck watching the dog, go back in the house walk around the kitchen while preparing dinner. A total of about 200 ft. I sit down about 35 past the hour and start to eat and at 10 mins to the next our and I get the reminder to stand. On the other side I wake up at 5 mins to hour. Walk 8 steps to the bathroom and successfully achieve the stand for that hour. WHY!?!?!? 😁🤣

I want to know , how many days will the data of health stays in apple watch . For example, I have not synced the watch with iPhone for two weeks . Then When I synced it , I am only able to see the last week data on iPhone of the watch . Is it true ?

Hello, is there a way to present WorkoutPlan preview just like it was presented on WWDC video: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10016/ with WorkoutCompositions? Or was this way ditched completely and is not possible to reproduce anymore? I find it weird that this view modifier accepts non-optional WorkoutPlan when the process of creating one can fail for many reasons with fatalError (that's another issue - why isn't there throws used anywhere?) when not checked with dedicated methods and I think that it would make more sense to create WorkoutPlan when user completes filling some kind of form. Because right now it's needed to compute the non-optional WorkoutPlan for the sake of .workoutPreview modifier live for any changes and that can often lead to errors. Non-modifier way of presenting the preview, like the one presented on WWDC would work really well for my project

I am experiencing a critical issue with HealthKit authorization in iOS 18.5 where requestAuthorization() calls are immediately denied without showing the user permission dialog. Problem Description: HealthKit authorization requests immediately return .sharingDenied status No system permission dialog is displayed to the user Authorization status changes from .notDetermined to .sharingDenied in <0.1 seconds This occurs for all HealthKit data types (step count, heart rate, sleep analysis, etc.) Technical Details: iOS Version: 18.5 (22F76) Xcode Version: 16F6 Device: iPhone (tested on both simulator and physical device) Bundle IDs tested: com.hereforyou.test2024, com.hereforyou.app Entitlements: com.apple.developer.healthkit = true Code Implementation: let healthStore = HKHealthStore() let stepType = HKObjectType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .stepCount)! // Status before request: .notDetermined try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: [], read: [stepType]) // Status after request: .sharingDenied (immediate, <0.1 seconds) Evidence this is not a code issue: Other HealthKit apps from App Store work correctly on the same device Proper entitlements are configured and verified HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable() returns true Same code worked in previous iOS versions Multiple Bundle IDs tested with same result Expected Behavior: System should display HealthKit permission dialog allowing user to grant/deny access Actual Behavior: Authorization is immediately denied without user interaction Steps to Reproduce: Create new iOS app with HealthKit entitlements Call requestAuthorization() for any HealthKit data type Observe immediate denial without permission dialog Is this a known issue in iOS 18.5? Are there any workarounds or timeline for a fix? Best regards

In general my workout app is reachable from the iPhone when running a workout, even if in the background. However if the watch app restarts (due to crash or being closed via the dock) via handleActiveWorkoutRecovery then it is only reachable when in the foreground, even though a workout is running. Is this expected / desired behaviour? Is the app given a tighter sandbox (having it's "background privileges" reduced) because of the earlier crash? This behaviour occasionally happens without a crash (or being closed via the dock) - all of a sudden it is no longer reachable via the iPhone. It feels like the app is being "sandboxed" like in #1 but there is no crash or any other kind of log indicating any issue. Generally the only remedy is to stop the workout and restart the app. My question is - is this expected? Is there some condition that causes the watchOS to sandbox the app? Or is this a Watch Connectivity bug?

For a given date, there are discrepancies between the step counts obtained from HealthKit and those displayed in the Health app. Is it possible for such discrepancies to occur even if step counts are not manually entered and multiple devices are not being used?

We are working on the health related application and use apple health kit to sync the data from different devices like watches or ring. We are targeting oura ring to get sleep and other parameters data. We are able to sync the data from oura for all other parameters (like pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, etc..) other than sleep. Surprisingly, sleep data that comes through other devices is syncing as expected from the health kit. We are even getting the data which is added manually in health kit. The only sleep data not syncing is from oura. Can we get a document or any kind of help to sync the data from oura in to our application using health kit?

读取是不是解析 metadata 的对应键来获取值对吧～但我看了相关开发文档好像没找到这个的键是什么～于是也没法写入到对应的，现在只能自定义键来进行写入 但是这样写入后无法显示在心情下方的影响因素后面～ 这个 key 是没公开的吗还是说我方法弄错了～请各位大大指教
