I'm having the exact same issue, were you able to find a workaround?

Matthew-Pitzer on 21 Apr 2020

hello @Matthew-Pitzer my workaround is to use ReactNative for now and wait for Xamarin to fix this issue.

laibulle on 21 Apr 2020

I do not believe you've configured the entitlement correctly.

Here is an example project I just worked up:

https://github.com/chamons/filed-bug-test-cases/tree/master/iOSHealth

Compare:
https://github.com/chamons/filed-bug-test-cases/blob/master/iOSHealth/Entitlements.plist
to
https://github.com/laibulle/nixe.io/blob/master/Breath/Breath.iOS/Entitlements.plist

chamons on 22 Apr 2020

@laibulle Thanks for your response! I was able to get mine working, but the built in entitlements GUI picker in Visual Studio for Mac doesn't format the entitlements correctly.

@chamons I agree his entitlements file is formatted incorrectly as the entitlements for HealthKit should look like:
<key>com.apple.developer.healthkit</key>
<true/>

However when selecting HealthKit from the entitlements GUI Picker the raw entitlements.plist is set to this:
<key>com.apple.developer.healthkit</key>
<array/>

I believe the GUI is autofilling the file in an incorrect format which results in it not working.

My solution was to manually edit the entitlements.plist file in a text editor and add the correctly formatted entitlements through there. Also just be aware that once you set it correctly, the GUI no longer will have the HealthKit entitlement selected, but it will still work.

Good catch, there appears to be an IDE bug I can confirm.

I've filed it as internal bug 1108910.

@laibulle can you confirm that with a correct entitlement you are unblocked?

Thanks for your feed back.

@Matthew-Pitzer I already tried to manually edit the entitlements.plist few days ago and it did not fixed the issue. But I am happy to know that I have to edit it.

Here is my entitlements.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>com.apple.developer.healthkit</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

@chamons I also tried to use the provisionning profile and bundle identifier that I use in my ReactNative implementation of the same app. But I have the exact same error.

I will create a new Xamarin application without XamarinForm and Watch Extension to see if I have the same issue.

laibulle on 22 Apr 2020

@chamons I cloned your test project https://github.com/chamons/filed-bug-test-cases/tree/master/iOSHealth and it works as expected.

So I tried to on my side

1 - Create a new iOS project
2- Add the healthkit entitlement.plist
3 - Update the entitlement.plist to replace array with a boolean
4 - Add "Privacy - Health Share Usage Description" and "Privacy - Health Update Usage Description"
5 - Request permission in "FinishedLaunching" in AppDelegate.cs
6 - Run in simulator

7 - Thinking about what I missed
8 - Cry a little bit
9 - push the code on https://github.com/laibulle/healthtest
10 - Write a comment on https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/8430
11 - Pray for someone to find the stupid thing I missed
12 - Click on Comment butt..

See https://github.com/laibulle/healthtest/pull/1

This is an easy mistake. We had https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/8102 filed to improve the situation.

chamons on 24 Apr 2020

Closing for now, as it appears to be project specific configuration.

chamons on 24 Apr 2020

@chamons, I come from ReactNative and I am new in the .Net ecosystem. Sometimes I am a bit confused about how Xamarin works.

Thanks a lot for your help.
