react-native-google-fit: Cant get any data in release - Android

The package works fine in debug and release apk, like I can get steps data of the user without any problem. I also added debug and release SHA1 keys to google console also activated oath2 and filled the required information.

The problem is when we upload the app bundle to google play and release it for users, then its not working. It initializes and asks for permission but we cant get any value… I really cant understand and solve it for few weeks already, so decided to ask here if anyone would have some idea why would it be happening?

In case it may be connected here is some files from the project:

Well I solved the issue… Still its very weird issue but, first of course its my fault to not check documentation again. Seconds its bad documentation and naming… Like how you can write READ_WRITE and it can only mean WRITE?

scopes: [
    Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ_WRITE,
    Scopes.FITNESS_BODY_READ_WRITE,
  ],

Its very wrong documentation because just after these example it shows how to retrieve steps(as I just followed those). So instead of top I added two extra permissions and the problem is solved.

 scopes: [
            Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ,
            Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ_WRITE,
            Scopes.FITNESS_BODY_READ,
            Scopes.FITNESS_BODY_READ_WRITE,
],

So this small issue cost me like few weeks which is actually still unlogical because it worked with only two permissions in half of the devices… Also I google-fit API has problem because in this case this API could fail and we could catch the error and understand that its the problem of lack of permissions.
