I am working with a Bluetooth device, and it tracks steps. I can send the steps to HealthKit when the app is running, and that works fine.
I would like to send the step count to HealthKit without the user opening the app. Is this possible?
HealthKit: Send data to healthkit when app is closed
If the device wakes the app, it can post the data in the background.
How do I make the device "wake the app"?
If the device is a BLE peripheral, you would use CoreBluetooth to pair to the device and register for notifications.
Bluetooth is a insecure connection is probably why. Maybe if you get this peripheral approved by Apple, also UWD will be releasing soon!
