• The official Apple documentation for HealthKit can be found here.

• For functions that require the unit attribute, you can find the comprehensive list of possible units from the Apple Developers documentation.

• Make sure your app id has the 'HealthKit' entitlement when this plugin is installed. This is added automatically to your app if you use cordova-ios 4.3.0 or higher.
• Also, make sure your app and AppStore description complies with these Apple review guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#healthkit

Using the Cordova CLI?

cordova plugin add com.telerik.plugins.healthkit --variable HEALTH_READ_PERMISSION='App needs read access' --variable HEALTH_WRITE_PERMISSION='App needs write access'

HEALTH_READ_PERMISSION and HEALTH_WRITE_PERMISSION are shown when your app asks for access to data in HealthKit.

<plugin name="com.telerik.plugins.healthkit" source="npm" />

<!-- Read access -->
<config-file platform="ios" parent="NSHealthShareUsageDescription">
  <string>App needs read access</string>
</config-file>
<!-- Write access -->
<config-file platform="ios" parent="NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription">
  <string>App needs write access</string>
</config-file>

PhoneGap Build has recently migrated from the custom build process to the standard Cordova build process. If you are already running on the new builder, it is no longer necessary to add the variables differently, and the variables must be defined as in the Cordova case.

<platform name="ios">
    <plugin name="com.telerik.plugins.healthkit" spec="^0.5.5" >
        <variable name="HEALTH_READ_PERMISSION" value="App needs read access" />
        <variable name="HEALTH_WRITE_PERMISSION" value="App needs write access" />
    </plugin>        
</platform>

If you would like to read clinical record (FHIR) data from the HealthKit store you can use the fork of this plugin here. Please see #113 for why this was functionality was removed from this plugin.
