Description
Requests authorization from the user.Prompts the user to authorize the application for reading and saving objects of the given types.
Before attempting to execute queries or save objects, the application should first request authorization from the user to read and share every type of object for which the application may require access.
The request is performed asynchronously and its completion will be executed on an arbitrary background queue after the user has responded. If the user has already chosen whether to grant the application access to all of the types provided, then the completion will be called without prompting the user.
We call optionally your script to pass in the result. You get a list of values. First entry is Success or Cancel. Second value is the error message.
The success parameter of the completion indicates whether prompting the user, if necessary, completed successfully and was not cancelled by the user. It does NOT indicate whether the application was granted authorization.
To customize the messages displayed on the authorization sheet, set the following keys in your app's Info.plist file. Set the NSHealthShareUsageDescription key to customize the message for reading data.
Set the NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription key to customize the message for writing data.
