At the moment I am working on a running app for the iPhone.

One issue that I have is, that I am building the HKWorkout using the HKWorkoutBuilder according to Apples Documentation.

But I am not able to associate the totalDistance with the workout – mentioned here in the Documentation. totalDistance is nil when I try to read it from the workout – no surprise.

I think I miss something here. Thanks in advance.

Use addSamples method on HKWorkoutBuilder to add DistanceWalkingRunning samples. This should populate totalDistance.

This seems to work, but doesnt populate totalDistance parameter – at least for me. But I can now get the distance from the associated HKQuantitySample.
And the spot in the HealthApp is still empty.. (Run: 25 Min. | --)
Is that the way to go?
