How can I add exercise minutes manually in the Health app?

I paired my iPhone simulator with Apple Watch simulator. I want to read exercise minutes with this library but how can i do that?

• To get the exercise minutes from the health kit you need to modify the plugin.
• It currently supports some of the health kit parameters such as step_count, distance_walk, etc.

Fortunately, I have modified the plugin to do that 😁

Use this in the pubspec.yaml as fitkit plugin.

fit_kit:
  git:
    url: git://github.com/dinithherath/FitKit.git

And in your code to get the exercise_minutes use this snippet.

if (!permissions) {
  log.d('RequestPermissions: Denied');
} else {
  try {
    final now = DateTime.now();
    FitDataStatistics resultAllSteps;
    FitDataStatistics resultAllExercise;
    try {
      resultAllSteps = await FitKit.readStatistics(
        DataType.STEP_COUNT,
        dateFrom: DateTime(now.year, now.month, now.day),
        dateTo: now,
      );
    } catch (e) {
      resultAllSteps = null;
    }
    try {
      resultAllExercise = await FitKit.readStatistics(
        DataType.EXERCISE_TIME,
        dateFrom: DateTime(now.year, now.month, now.day),
        dateTo: now,
      );
    } catch (e) {
      resultAllExercise = null;
    }
  } on UnsupportedException catch (e) {
    print(e.toString());
  }
}

This reads data from the health kit using the iOS cumulative sum method which will eliminate duplicates from your phone and apple watch.

If you get the work done please star my repo of Fitkit and follow me on github ❤
Thanks.
