Flutter Heath package requestAuthorization() always returns false

Question

I'm going to use the flutter health package to get step data. But I can't get permission from Gmail for my app by using this method. I have already added test users to the Google console in the GCP project.

Any solution?

Answer 1

you have to add ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION for getting STEP Count permission in AndroidManifest.xml.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />

And then using permission_handler ask for permission.

    if (Platform.isAndroid) {
  final permissionStatus = Permission.activityRecognition.request();
  if (await permissionStatus.isDenied ||
      await permissionStatus.isPermanentlyDenied) {
    showToast(
        'activityRecognition permission required to fetch your steps count');
    return;
  }
}
