@perfood/capacitor-healthkit is an iOS-only Capacitor plugin for reading and writing Apple Health data. Its README says the maintainers are slowly working on a version 2, no longer accept pull requests to the main branch, and publish v2 as an alpha on npm. Its latest stable release declares a peer dependency of @capacitor/core ^4.0.0, so check that against your Capacitor version before adopting it.

What it wraps

  • Apple HealthKit only: its package metadata declares iOS native code and nothing for Android. The README adds that it covers only part of HealthKit for now.

    “Disclaimer : for now only some of the HK data base, in the future the retrieve base will be bigger !”

Named in the registry description: Apple HealthKit.

Questions

Does @perfood/capacitor-healthkit support Android?

Is there a newer version of @perfood/capacitor-healthkit?
The README says v2 is being published as an alpha on npm and asks contributors to work on the v2 branch. At our last read of the registry the next tag pointed to 2.0.0-alpha.2 while latest pointed to 1.3.2.
