Is it possible to read or write steps in Watchkit extension?


I have read documents that said : All the data Apple Watch collects about your heart rate is then transferred automatically to the Health app on your iPhone. I have not found any Information about steps and calories. Whether it store in apple watch local storage or in Health App. If anyone knows about it then guide me.


Solution

  • It isn't possible to read or write steps data from a WatchKit extension. Extensions do not have HealthKit access. However, you could hand off to your iPhone app using openParentApplication:reply: and grab the data from the host app directly. It worth noting, however, that HealthKit data isn't necessarily delivered to the phone in real time.
