Hey,

I'm coding my app in the Xcode Beta 2 and am attempting to access the HKHealthStore() to add a HKCategorySample. When I run the app and attempt to add the sample I get the following error:

Error Domain=com.apple.healthkit Code=4 "Missing com.apple.developer.healthkit entitlement." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing com.apple.developer.healthkit entitlement.}

When I make sure to requestAuthorization before running the code I get a different error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'NSHealthShareUsageDescription must be set in the app's Info.plist in order to request read authorization for the following types: HKCategoryTypeIdentifierMindfulSession'

I'm assuming I need to add to my Info.plist but am unable to figure out how. If I go to my project or project's target and access Build Settings I see the following image:

But am unable to edit it. I assuming I want to add NSHealthShareUsageDescription with a String explanation for why I want access but anything I find online is for an older Xcode so I don't know how to do it.

Any help to get this working would be really appreciated. Thank you

In case anyone has the same issue I wanted to share how I fixed it.

The original question complained about the following error:

Error Domain=com.apple.healthkit Code=4 "Missing com.apple.developer.healthkit entitlement." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing com.apple.developer.healthkit entitlement.}

I ultimately fixed it by going to App > Target > Info tab and added the three Privacy - Health... Usage Description Strings. Later I realized I only needed one for my purposes. Also, before or during this process, I went to App > Target > Signing & Capabilities tab and pressed the plus in the top left corner to add HealthKit iOS. Here are the photos showing this:

The signing and capabilities needed HealthKit added (not sure if this is REQUIRED but figured I'd share. Screenshot 2022-09-09 at 1.43.00 PM.png

This fixed the above error but brought me to the next one.

Error Domain=com.apple.healthkit Code=4 "Missing application-identifier entitlement" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing application-identifier entitlement}

I couldn't figure it out and then finally asked on StackOverflow and got the answer..

The main portion was adding the Privacy - Health Update Usage Description string to the Info tab. Originally I added all three Privacy - Health --- Usage Description but after it worked I went back and removed the ones that weren't needed. Screenshot 2022-09-09 at 1.43.22 PM.png . To fix it you need to go to your entitlements file (icon has a yellow checkmark with a squiggly circle around it) and manually add application-identifier, change the type to a String, and set the value to your Bundle Identifier (found under App > Target > Signing and Capabilities > Signing). Later I noticed the Bundle Display Name under the info tab so not sure if those two are connected.

Good luck :)

UPDATE: I figured out how to get past this error by going to App > Target > Info tab and added the three Privacy - Health... Usage Description Strings.

My issue now is I'm getting Code 1 Health data is unavailable when running on my non-beta Mac AND my beta iPad. I get error 4 when run on my simulator. Specifically Code=4 "Missing application-identifier entitlement. Is there anyway to debug/work with health data in a development setting? Or is there a way to get it working on the simulator?

After reading it seemed people got through this removing the app from the device. This is a newly created app. Removing from the simulator does not fix error. Another comment mentioned they got their error because of Apple account. I logged in with my Apple ID and I still got the same error.

Recap: Simulator iOS doesn't work as Code=4 "Missing application-identifier entitlement while my macOS Ventura 13.0 and non-beta iPad don't work as Code=1 "Health data is unavailable on this device".
