Health Connection….

Question

Anyone here an expert with Health Connection?

Honestly, I’ve about had it. The permissions schema is maddening. On Apple…this is a breeze. You ask for permissions through an entitlement, add the health data types, and you query. On Android…I cannot get the permissions to work no matter how I swizzle it. Now, I cannot bypass it, go into Health Connection, give my app permissions…it works. But doing it programmatically? Nope. Heck, I even turned the AIs loose on the problem; got no love.

I know Google requires devs to file a declaration and such to get into testing and production but surely that doesn’t apply to a hardline connected device, right?
