HealthKit error: Missing com.apple.developer.healthkit entitlement - swift

Question

I'm adding code for HealthKit in my iOS Swift app, but I'm getting an error:
/* Ask for permission to access the health store */
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
if HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable(){
healthStore.requestAuthorizationToShareTypes(typesToShare,
readTypes: typesToRead,
completion: {(succeeded: Bool, error: NSError!) in
if succeeded && error == nil{
println("Successfully received authorization")
} else {
if let theError = error{
println("Error occurred = \(theError)")
}
}
})
} else {
println("Health data is not available")
}
}
Error occurred = Error Domain=com.apple.healthkit Code=4 "Missing
com.apple.developer.healthkit entitlement." UserInfo=0x7fa748534b00
{NSLocalizedDescription=Missing com.apple.developer.healthkit
entitlement.}
How can solve this?

Answer 1

I spent 3 days trying to figure out what was the problem. I found the solution with those steps:
First go to the project (As I show in the image)
Open projects and target lists
Select nameApp WatchKit Extension
Go to Capabilities tab, press on in Health Kit and voila... it is working for me.
I am using iOS 9.3.2 and Xcode 7.3.1

Answer 2

Both of the above answers should be tried first. If however
You're sure the capability has been activated
You're confident your app id associated with your provisioning profile has healthkit turned on and matches the app's bundle id
Then try and force the build to use that specific provisioning profile by selecting your target and going to
build settings -> code signing -> provisioning profile
and selecting it manually.
I've run into cases where get the above error in debug if 'automatic selection' is being used

Answer 3

That error is due to the fact that you have not added the HealthKit Entitlement to your target.
Go to your project settings in Xcode.
From there, navigate to the "Capabilities" Tab.
Scroll down until you see "HealthKit" and flip the switch to on.
Xcode will now add the HealthKit Entitlement to you Info.plist, your {ProjectName}.entitlements file, and your App ID on iTunes Connect
After following these steps, try to run your app again. This time around it should work.

Answer 4

Activate Health kit in Capabilities
If still not worked
check:
Does your provisioning profile includes support for HealthKit?
Does your bundle identifier use the same ID referenced in the provisioning profile with support for HealthKit?

Answer 5

Some additional info that might help. If, under the HealthKit Capabilities the first step "add health kit entitlement to your app id" shows an error, and you have a "Fix This" button which does not do the job... read on...
Many times after working on multiple HealthKit test projects, you may find you have a Bundle ID that matches another Bundle ID used with another HealthKit project (say you duplicated the one project to spin off another test). This contention will show up as an error under the first checkmark in "iOS dev"s picture "add health kit entitlement to your app id". The error listed in the capabilities section unfortunately calls it an "app id" when you need to change the "Bundle ID". Add a number (or some character) in your bundle id string to make it unique. Then the "Fix" button in the HealthKit capabilities settings will work.
The Bundle ID (aka "App ID") is found under the "General" tab to the left of the "Capabilities" tab.

Answer 6

This is bcz you have not Open the Capabilities tab in the target editor, and turn on the HealthKit switch.
and to resolve permission issues , add the following keys in info.plist and write causes.. according to your project requirements.
1.Health Update Usage Description
2.Health Records Usage Description
3.Health Share Usage Description
You can go ahead with free developer account also for authorisation purpose.
good luck

Answer 7

I did add both
NSHealthShareUsageDescription and NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription (make sure the values to be greater than 12 characters - read it somewhere) in Info.plist
Next, similar to Jorge Luis Jiménez screenshot
First go to the project (As I show in the image)
Open projects and target lists
Click on the Apps target (no need for watchkit extension)
Now click on the + sign (Add Library) at the top right
Add HealthKit.

Answer 8

I had a similar error when trying to start a workout on my AppleWatch from the iOS device, using this method:
healthStore.startWatchApp(with: configuration, completion) { } method.
Interestingly enough, I had this error only in the Release mode when the HealthKit entitlement was added only to the WatchKit Extension target. Everything was working well in Debug.
Adding HealthKit entitlement also to the iOS target fixed the issue, but you won't be aware of this requirement until you run your app in Release or through the TestFlight.
Hope, this info will help someone
