Same App Appears Twice in Apple Health Sources since migrating to SwiftUI App Lifecycle

Question

I recently updated an Apple Watch App from the app + extension lifecycle to the SwiftUI lifecycle.

Or to put it another way, the bundle Ids have changed so that:

Before

• com.myapp
• com.myapp.watchkitapp
• com.myapp.watchkitapp.extension

After

• com.myapp.paddlelogger
• com.myapp.watchkitapp

For me everything works great, but we have multiple reports of people seeing two versions of the app in the Apple Health Sources

This means there are two "sources" of data and two sets of permissions. In the past we just had one set of permissions.

It also means we have trouble reading data on the iPhone app that was recorded on the watch app.

HKSource.default().bundleIdentifier is com.myapp on iPhone and com.myapp.watchkitapp on Apple Watch

That must be part of the issue(?).

Is this something I've done wrong? I can't find any docs on migrating from from the legacy Extension style to the new SwiftUI Lifecycle

Answer 1

Workaround: When reading Apple Health data in the app I now have to check for both bundle ids to distinguish data from my app vs that from 3rd party apps.

From speaking to other developers, this is not the only app that appears twice in Health, so I am assuming this is an Apple issue.
