Same here, any solutions?
Hi @GGGava, thanks for putting time into this issue so far, I am @JDMathew’s co-worker.
I have run the project entirely using rosetta and have had the same issue.
I also had the issue on my Intel Mac and my M1 mac, but on the intel mac, I was able to run the project successfully some of the time, but after a full clear, a fresh pull of the repo and a rebuild it then presented with the same issue.
It fails for me on a sim as well as building directly to a device. iPhone 8 in my example.
Thanks again for your time on this.
Hello, we currently don’t have an active developer in this project, but I will try to investigate this in my spare time, hopefully this week. Until then, if you guys find a solution for that, a PR would be most welcome!
@GGGava, sorry for the delay in getting the repo up. I am unable to share my main project but I created a fresh RN project and setup
react-native-healthin it with the same issue. Here is the repo. Hopefully you can reproduce.While I have had this issue on M1 I have colleagues who have it on intel based macs. I also have colleagues who don’t have the issue on M1.
I am using
nvmI’m not sure if this is contributing but I have experienced weirdness in the past with the way node is run onnvm.To answer your questions 1- Does it happen at all on simulator or just on iPhones? I don’t have an iphone to build to so the issue is happening for me on sim builds 2- Only adding [[RCTAppleHealthKit new] initializeBackgroundObservers:bridge];to the delegate is enough or is there something else in you App.tsx? Adding
[[RCTAppleHealthKit new] initializeBackgroundObservers:bridge];is enough. Nothing else happening in my example app. 3- Building the app with rosetta changes anything? I haven’t tested running xcode through rosetta. I is this how you are running it?
