[Huawei Developers] Mike-mei:
HMS Core Health Kit unlocks atomic data for developers. After obtaining user consent, your app will then be able to read, add, modify, or delete users' health and activity data by calling Health Kit APIs. To begin with, you will need to first apply for test scopes from Health Kit, to access this data before your app is released. Here I have listed some problems that I have encountered during the application, as well as their solutions. I hope you find this helpful.

After I send an application to Health Kit, how long will it take for my application to be reviewed?​

The review takes about 15 workdays, and you will be notified of the result via SMS and email. If your application is rejected, modify your materials according to the feedback, and then submit your application again. The second review will take another 15 working days. Please check your materials carefully so that your application can pass the review as soon as possible.

Can I apply for accessing Health Kit as an individual developer?​

According to the privacy policy, individual developers can apply for accessing Health Kit to read/write basic user data (such as step count, calories, and distance) if your app is intended for short-term research, development, and testing purposes. But please note the following:

During application, you have to specify when your project or testing ends. Relevant personnel will revoke the scopes in due time.

You do not have access to advanced user data (such as heart rate, sleep, blood pressure, blood glucose, SpO2, and other health data).

After your application and personal credit investigations have been reviewed, only the first 100 users will be able to access the Health Kit service that your app integrates.

This restriction cannot be removed by applying for verification.

This can only be removed by applying for the HUAWEI ID service again, registering as an enterprise developer, and then applying for Health Kit service.

What is different between the data scopes opened to enterprise developers and individual developers?​

The following lists the respective data scopes available for individual and enterprise developers.

Individual developers: height, weight, step count, distance, calories, medium- and high-intensity, altitude, activity record summary, activity record details (speed, cadence, exercise heart rate, altitude, running form, jump, power, and resistance), personal information (gender, date of birth, height, and weight) and real-time activity data.

Enterprise developers: In addition to the basic data scopes opened to individual developers, enterprise developers also have access to location data and the following advanced data: heart rate, stress, sleep, blood glucose, blood pressure, SpO2, body temperature, ECG, VO2 max, reproductive health, real-time heart data, and device information.

What are the requirements for enterprise developers to access Health Kit?​

If you only apply for accessing basic user data, the paid-up capital of your company must be larger than or equal to CNY 1 million; if you apply for accessing advanced user data, the paid-up capital of your company must be larger than or equal to CNY 5 million. What's more, Huawei will take your company's year of establishment and associated risks into consideration.

If you have any questions, contact hihealth@huawei.com for assistance.

What are the requirements for filling in the application materials?​

Specific requirements are as follows:

Fill in every sheet marked with "Mandatory".

In the Data Usage sheet, specify each data read/write scope you are going to apply for, and make sure that these scopes are the same as the actual scopes to be displayed and granted by users in your app.

What does it mean if the applicant is inconsistent?​

The developer name used for real-name verification on HUAWEI Developers must be the same as that of the entity operating the app. Please verify that the developer name is consistent when applying for the test scopes. Otherwise, your application will be rejected.

What should I do if my application was rejected because of incorrect logo usage?​

Make sure that your app uses the Huawei Health logo in compliance with HUAWEI Health Guideline. You can click here to download the guideline and the logo in PNG format.

Please stay tuned for the latest HUAWEI Developers news and download the latest resources.

Why can't I find user data after my application has been approved?​

Due to data caching, do not perform the test until 24 hours after the test scopes have been granted.

If the problem persists, troubleshoot by referring to Error Code.
