@KK-dev-mobile Are you running the example app? Also is this on an emulator or actual device?

@KK-dev-mobile Are you running the example app? Also is this on an emulator or actual device?

No I am not running example app, I've done my own setup using docs reference and I am testing it in both debug and release mode with emulator and real devices.

still the issue is same for android 14 only that the permission is not getting invoked and in health connect in manage permissions section they're showing needs updating for my app and my app is targeting android 14 (API 34) also. Everything is working fine in android 13 and lower.

I am attaching my health controller's code that is using Getx :-

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:corporate_fitness_app/api_setup/api_provider.dart';
import 'package:corporate_fitness_app/services/pref_services.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

class HealthDataController extends GetxController {
  RxInt stepsGoal = 0.obs;
  RxInt caloriesGoal = 0.obs;
  RxInt distanceGoal = 0.obs;
  RxInt stepsCount = 0.obs;
  RxDouble caloriesBurned = 0.0.obs;
  RxDouble distanceCovered = 0.0.obs;
  RxDouble heartRate = 0.0.obs;

  // Retrieve user goals from preferences
  Future<void> getGoals() async {
    String dailyStepsGoal = await PrefService.getDailyStepsGoal();
    String dailyCaloriesGoal = await PrefService.getDailyCaloriesGoal();
    String dailyDistanceGoal = await PrefService.getDailyDistanceGoal();

    stepsGoal.value = int.tryParse(dailyStepsGoal) ?? 0;
    caloriesGoal.value = int.tryParse(dailyCaloriesGoal) ?? 0;
    distanceGoal.value = int.tryParse(dailyDistanceGoal) ?? 0;
  }

  // Main function to fetch health data
  Future<void> getHealthData() async {
    final Health health = Health();
    health.configure();

    // Ensure Health Connect is available on Android
    if (Platform.isAndroid) {
      bool isAvailable = await health.isHealthConnectAvailable();
      debugPrint('Health Connect available: $isAvailable');
      if (!isAvailable) {
        try {
          debugPrint('Installing Health Connect...');
          await health.installHealthConnect();
        } catch (e) {

          return;

        return;

@KK-dev-mobile can you share:

1. the error message from I/FLUTTER_HEALTH:
2. AndroidManifest.xml
3. MainActivity

I don't see the following functions in your code:
await Permission.activityRecognition.request();

await Permission.location.request();

    // Check if we have health permissions
    bool? hasPermissions =
        await Health().hasPermissions(types, permissions: permissions);

i have error to in android 14 can not show to request permission for activityRecognition. I use the Pedometer plugin
can u show me how to fix in android 14 because i read that permission for foreground service
