Describe the bug

After doing the setup as indicated in readme at https://pub.dev/packages/health, I have added a new view to my App including the code from the demo. It seems to run just fine, however, when I try to "Authenticate" I am getting: "Access Denied (to Health Connect)!"

    if (!hasPermissions) {
      // requesting access to the data types before reading them
      try {
        authorized = await Health().requestAuthorization(types, permissions: permissions);
      } catch (error) {
        debugPrint("Exception in authorize: $error");
      }
    }

The "Health().requestAuthorization" call is always coming back false. I've tried with many types at once or just a single one and with READ or READ/WRITE permissions. The result is always the same: false.

The demo error pre-configured messages suggest I should check the permissions and services added to my manifest file, which I have done many times, but cant' see anything wrong.

To Reproduce

Add plugin to project, add demo scene to a new view, try to Authenticate.

Expected behavior

Should return "true".

Actual behavior

Returns "false".

This is my manifest. I added every single permission just in case.
