Description

I'm trying to authorize HealthKit via Hyperloop to query height of the user, so I run the following code:

import {
  HKHealthStore,
} from 'HealthKit';

if (HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable()) {
  Ti.API.log('available');
} else {
  Ti.API.log('not available');
}

let hk = new HKHealthStore();
hk.requestAuthorizationToShareTypes([], [], function() {});

It does show "available" message, so I assume that heath data is available, but then it throughs an error "hk.requestAuthorizationToShareTypes is not a function", I've tried "swift-like" function "requestAuthorization" as well, but same result. p.s. Is there any way to get available functions from Hyperloop?

I guess you are trying to use [requestAuthorizationToShareTypes:readTypes:completion:](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/hkhealthstore/1614152-requestauthorizationtosharetypes?language=objc). According to the conventions for [method names](https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/iOS_Hyperloop_Programming_Guide-section-src-46253491_iOSHyperloopProgrammingGuide-Namedmethods), this is the Hyperloop equivalent: hk.requestAuthorizationToShareTypesReadTypesCompletion([], [], function() {});

Yes, that's true. It was my mistake that I missed this part of the iOS Hyperloop Programming Guide. But now, after I follow your suggestion it doesn't seem to do anything. No error, no authorization popup.

   let hk = new HKHealthStore();
   let height = HKObjectType.quantityTypeForIdentifier('HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeight');
   hk.requestAuthorizationToShareTypesReadTypesCompletion([height], [height], function completion(success, error) {
     Ti.API.log('success');
   });

[~pmalakhaltsev] have you configured the correct plist keys? Like NSHealthShareUsageDescription and NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription?

Petr Malakhaltsev 2020-01-07

Yes, I have both keys in tiapp.xml

           <key>NSHealthShareUsageDescription</key>
           <string>Share data description</string>
           <key>NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription</key>
           <string>Access data description</string>

Also I have "entitlements" section:

       <entitlements>
         <dict>
           <key>com.apple.developer.healthkit</key>
           <true/>
           <key>com.apple.developer.healthkit.access</key>
           <array/>
         </dict>
       </entitlements>

Besides this I've tried to clean the project and rebuild it. Doesn't help.

[~pmalakhaltsev] perhaps you have the same issue as [this guy?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26010554/requestauthorizationtosharetypes-method-not-displaying-permissions-prompt-in-ios)
Petr Malakhaltsev 2020-01-29

@topener, that's unlikely as: 1. I pass not a string but (hopefully) quanityType var height = HKObjectType.quantityTypeForIdentifier("HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeight"); 2. I initialize healthStore as an object (according to Hyperloop guide): var hk = HKHealthStore.alloc().init(); // or var hk = new HKHealthStore(); So I can't spot any visible mistake in the code ..
