[health] Unable to fetch SLEEP_ASLEEP and SLEEP_IN_BED data on iOS, while SLEEP_AWAKE is successful

[ScottFarestrand]

Plugin Name

Plugin Version

I tried health: ^13.2.0 and health: 12.0.0

Device

IPone 13 PRO

Operating System

IOS 18.6.2

Describe the bug

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue on iOS where I am unable to fetch HealthDataType.SLEEP_ASLEEP and HealthDataType.SLEEP_IN_BED data, even though all permissions appear to be correctly configured and granted. Interestingly, HealthDataType.SLEEP_AWAKE data is fetched successfully from the same sleep session.

Steps Taken:

Project Setup: The HealthKit capability is enabled in Xcode, and the NSHealthShareUsageDescription key is present in Info.plist.

Permissions: I am requesting authorization for all three sleep types (SLEEP_IN_BED, SLEEP_ASLEEP, SLEEP_AWAKE). In the iOS Settings app (Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices), the master "Sleep" toggle for my app is enabled.

Data Confirmation: I have manually verified in the Apple Health app that a complete sleep session, including "Time in Bed" and "Time Asleep" data, exists for the time range being queried.

Code: The query is being made using health.getHealthDataFromTypes(...).

Debugging: We have tried numerous debugging steps, including a full permission reset (uninstalling the app, restarting the device, reinstalling), cleaning the Xcode build folder, and adjusting the query parameters.

Observed Behavior:

The call to health.getHealthDataFromTypes consistently returns a list containing only the SLEEP_AWAKE data points. The SLEEP_ASLEEP and SLEEP_IN_BED data points from the same night are always missing.

This suggests an issue with how the package is fetching or being granted permission for these specific data types on certain iOS versions, despite the user granting full "Sleep" access.

Environment:

health package version:(health: ^13.2.0). I also tried health: 12.0.0

Thank you for looking into this.

Steps to Reproduce

Here is code from my health_service.dart file final FirebaseAuth _auth = FirebaseAuth.instance;

static final types = [
HealthDataType.SLEEP_IN_BED,
HealthDataType.SLEEP_ASLEEP,
HealthDataType.SLEEP_AWAKE,
HealthDataType.WORKOUT,
// HealthDataType.HEART_RATE,
];

Future fetchAndSaveHealthData() async {
final userId = _auth.currentUser?.uid;
if (userId == null) return;

print("--- Health Sync Started: Final Reset Test ---");

bool isAuthorized = await _health.requestAuthorization(types);
if (!isAuthorized) {
  print("Authorization was denied.");
  return;
}

print("Permissions granted. Fetching data...");

final now = DateTime.now();
final startTime = now.subtract(const Duration(hours: 48));

try {
  final healthData = await _health.getHealthDataFromTypes(
    startTime: startTime,
    endTime: now,
    types: types,
  );

  final uniqueData = healthData.toSet().toList();

  if (uniqueData.isEmpty) {
    print('No health data was returned from the API.');
    return;
  }

  print("\n--- Raw Data From API (${uniqueData.length} points) ---");
  for (final point in uniqueData) {
    final value = (point.value is NumericHealthValue)
        ? (point.value as NumericHealthValue).numericValue.toString()
        : point.dateTo.difference(point.dateFrom).inMinutes.toString() +
              ' mins';
    print(" -> ${point.type.name}: $value");
  }
  print("--------------------------------\n");

  // ... your saving logic ...
} catch (e) {
  print("Error during health data sync: $e");
}
print("--- Health Sync Finished ---");

}
}

Expected Behavior

I expected to get data for SLEEP_ASLEEP, SLEEP_IN_BED, and SLEEP_AWAKE

Actual Behavior
