[health 10.1.1] Health.hasPermissions don't works propely

[ifuterman]

iOS emulator version 17.2

Emulator

Please complete the following information for each phone and/or emulator you're experiencing this bug on:

• Device: [iPhone 15 Pro]
• OS: [iOS 17.2]

Describe the bug

Regardless of the outcome, the result of the execution is always null

To Reproduce

1. I manually add the steps with the health app
2. Start app. In the popup, I restricted access to the health data. The result of the Health().requestAuthorization will be true, and the result of the Health().hasPermissions will be null. The x will be the empty list
3. Open settings->Health grant access to all data
4. Start app. The result of the Health().requestAuthorization will be true, and the result of all Health().hasPermissions will be null. The x will be the list with one element

const dataTypesIOS = <HealthTypeAndPermission>[
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.SLEEP_ASLEEP, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.STEPS, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.HEART_RATE, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.HEART_RATE_VARIABILITY_SDNN, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.RESTING_HEART_RATE, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.FORCED_EXPIRATORY_VOLUME, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.RESPIRATORY_RATE, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
  HealthTypeAndPermission(healthType: HealthDataType.EXERCISE_TIME, access: HealthDataAccess.READ),
];

List<HealthTypeAndPermission> get dataTypes => Platform.isIOS ? dataTypesIOS : dataTypesAndroid;

Future<bool> authorize() async{
    _isInited = false;
    try{
      bool? permissions = await health.hasPermissions(
        dataTypes.map((e) => e.healthType).toList(),
        permissions: dataTypes.map((e) => e.access).toList()
      );
      if(permissions != null && permissions){
        _isInited = true;
        return true;
      }
      if(permissions == null || !permissions){
        _isInited = await health.requestAuthorization(
            dataTypes.map((e) => e.healthType).toList(),
            permissions: dataTypes.map((e) => e.access).toList()
        );
        //_isInited will be true always
        for(final dataType in dataTypes){
          final result = await health.hasPermissions([dataType.healthType], permissions: [dataType.access]);
          debugPrint('HealthService.authorise $result');
        }
        permissions = await health.hasPermissions(
            dataTypes.map((e) => e.healthType).toList(),
            permissions: dataTypes.map((e) => e.access).toList()
        );
        _isInited = permissions != null ? _isInited : false;
        final x = await health.getHealthDataFromTypes(DateTime.now().subtract(Duration(days: 20)), DateTime.now(), dataTypes.map((e) => e.healthType).toList());
        return _isInited ? true : false;
      }

    }catch (error){
      debugPrint('HealthWrapper.authorise EXCEPTION: ${error.toString()}');
    }
    return false;
  }

Expected behavior

If I have access to the parameter the result of the Health().hasPermissions needs to be not null; the result of the Health().requestAuthorization should depend on the request result.

Actual behavior

The result of the Health().hasPermissions is always null, even if I check specific allowed parameters with read access.
And I can read this parameter. Health().requestAuthorization always true

I have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it?

I have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it?

No. I downgraded to 9.0.0. For some reason, this version works, but the last doesn`t. I want to show popup, if the data reading restricted for me, because the iOS don't show embedded popup after the first time

[Some1Somewhere]

Any fix?

[MoritzMessner]

hey there,
In the documentation for the method hasPermissions you can read the following.

"As Apple HealthKit will not disclose if READ access has been granted for a data type due to privacy concern, this method can only return null to represent an undetermined status, if it is called on iOS with a READ or READ_WRITE access."

[samnbd]

checking if write permission of steps is granted on iOS (Apple health) is actually allowed by Apple, but for some reason Health().hasPermissions([HealthDataType.STEPS], permissions: [HealthDataAccess.WRITE]) always return false even though the write permission was granted

[byyoungjin]

Having same issue

[Maqcel]

Having the same issues on 11.1.0 && 11.1.1

Health().hasPermissions(
        [HealthDataType.BODY_TEMPERATURE],
        permissions: [HealthDataAccess.WRITE],
      );

Problem was observed on iOS (13, system 17.7) but, I'm currently not able if something on android is wrong because got stuck on this for a long time now.
Returns false whenever it's call, if after granting it via system modal, or when granted inside health app.

[Maqcel]

Currently I'm going to check if the version 9.0.0 is working as @ifuterman suggested it does

[Maqcel]

Ok before that I tried version 10.0.0 and hasPermissions returns true/false properly

Edit 10.2.0 works as intended too, something was broken along the way

[ifuterman]

I found the reason and made a PR. But we need to wait for approval. Then I'll do the adaptation for Android I'll do the fix for Android :)
