Filter manual entered data

[AadGlasbergen]

We are developing an App which give you "Coins" when you reached an achievement. You can manually enter step in Health Kit. Is it possible to filter out this manual entered data.

Hi @AadGlasbergen have you found a solution in the meantime? We are facing the same issue.

Yeah, being able to get the "source" of the data is a must for me.

If anyone's interested in submitting a PR, this is the function to update: https://github.com/terrillo/rn-apple-healthkit/blob/master/RCTAppleHealthKit/RCTAppleHealthKit%2BQueries.m#L292

I think it could be made to accept and return sources.

Thanks. So it would be just a matter of optionally joining 2 NSPredicates? The existing one with the dates and another to ignore manual data, something like this: NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"metadata.%K != YES", HKMetadataKeyWasUserEntered];

I'm still pretty new to Objective C, but this looks like a pretty good place to start: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/hkstatisticsoptions?language=objc

Hi guys,

Its been a while since this issue has opened and today I'm facing the same issue with you guys 😅 .

So, please check this my PR >> #74 . Its quick (and probably dirty) fix by add new param 'skipManual' in options.

const options = {
    date: new Date().toISOString(),
    skipManual: true
  };
  AppleHealthKit.getStepCount(options, (err, results) => {
    if (err) {
      return 0;
    }
    ...other actions
  });
