Registry description: “Wrapper for Apple's HealthKit on iOS and Google's Health Connect on Android.”

What the README warns about

Each item is the project’s own statement, checked on 2026-10-03, quoted where the wording matters.

• No more Google Fit.

  “this package has removed support for Google Fit as of version 11.0.0 and users are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.”

  Source: README

• The 30-day window, and the way out. The README documents isHealthDataHistoryAuthorized and requestHealthDataHistoryAuthorization, which require android.permission.health.READ_HEALTH_DATA_HISTORY in the manifest.

  “By default, Health Connect restricts read data to 30 days from when permission has been granted.”

• iOS floor. The README says the iOS side requires iOS 15.0 or later and ships as both a Swift package and a CocoaPods pod.

• Manual-entry filtering is not reliable on Android. The README calls it an open issue that getTotalStepsInInterval(includeManualEntries: false) does not necessarily filter out manual steps there.

• Routes. The README says Android only surfaces workout routes while the app is in the foreground, and that other apps' routes may come back flagged ConsentRequired.

The API underneath

A wrapper inherits every rule of the API it calls. These pages cover that layer directly.

• Health Connect integration guide →The Android API these packages wrap: permissions, records, the 30-day window.
• Health Connect record reference →Every record class with Google's fields, permission strings and aggregate metrics — check the type you need exists before blaming the wrapper.
• HealthKit types vs Health Connect records →Which record a HealthKit type maps to, and the pairs that look equivalent but are not.
• Health Connect returns no data →The usual causes when a read comes back empty, whichever wrapper you use.
• HealthKit integration guide →The native API every iOS package here calls into: authorization, queries, background delivery.
• HealthKit ↔ Health Connect type matrix →The types a cross-platform plugin maps between the two stores.

Questions

Does the Flutter health package still support Google Fit?

No. Its README says Google Fit support was removed as of version 11.0.0 and urges users to upgrade, citing Google's decision to stop new sign-ups to the Fit API. On Android the package now reads and writes Health Connect.

Why does the Flutter health package only return 30 days of Android data?

The README says Health Connect restricts reads to 30 days from when permission was granted. To read further back, declare android.permission.health.READ_HEALTH_DATA_HISTORY and request it with requestHealthDataHistoryAuthorization; isHealthDataHistoryAuthorized tells you whether it was granted.

Why does getTotalStepsInInterval still count manual steps on Android?

The README describes it as an open issue: filtering manual entries depends on the writing app having recorded the entry method, and on Android getTotalStepsInInterval with includeManualEntries false does not necessarily filter out manual steps.
