Hello, have you provided any data types in the permissions parameter when calling initHealthKit? You must send the data types you want to access.

Example:

/* Permission options */
const permissions = {
  permissions: {
    read: [AppleHealthKit.Constants.Permissions.HeartRate],
    write: [AppleHealthKit.Constants.Permissions.Steps],
  },
} as HealthKitPermissions;

AppleHealthKit.initHealthKit(permissions, (error: string) => {
  /* Called after we receive a response from the system */

  if (error) {
    console.log('[ERROR] Cannot grant permissions!');
  }

  /* Can now read or write to HealthKit */
