Area Health & Fitness → HealthKit → Health Records (FHIR Ingestion) Summary On devices running iOS 26.2, FHIR Clinical Records successfully connect and validate, but no data (Procedure, DiagnosticReport, Observation, etc.) is ingested into the Health app. The same FHIR server and patient connection works correctly on iOS 18.1, where all data syncs and displays as expected. On iOS 26.2: FHIR validation passes in Health Records “Last Download Date” updates Patient data is visible in connection No clinical data appears in Health app No apps are listed under Privacy → Health Device shows “No Data Found” Crash logs show healthappd terminating during ingestion This appears to be a regression in the HealthPlatform / HealthKit ingestion pipeline in iOS 26.

I am trying to figure out why my app is not receiving background deliveries from Healthkit. I have a successfully implemented HKObserverQuery  which is being used to send data like step count to a server. I have a successful enableBackgroundDelivery (completes without errors). I have also checkmarked the HealthKit Background Delivery and Clinical Health Records options in my app's Signing and Capabilities configurations. I know the observer is functional because the health data gets sent to the server when the app is running. The problem is I haven't seen any evidence of the observer handler being triggered when the app is not running. What am I missing? And what is the best way to go about debugging what is going wrong?

While attempting to read a user’s daily step history spanning backward to the last 7 days, a small but consistent subset of users encounter Error Code 3 with the underlying error description: Error Code 3 "Unable to invalidate interval: no data source available." When this error occurs, we are entirely unable to read their step history. We have received ~10 direct user reports of this within the last couple of weeks.

Any plans to be able to allow to store Uric Acid (UA) and Ketones readings in Apple Health with HealthKit? There are now many blood test strips in the market that allow to read Glucose, UA and Ketones and currently only Glucose seems to be supported by HealthKit. Thank you

I have a few feasibility questions regarding health data processing on iOS, related to HealthKit and system capabilities: Background Health Data Collection Can an iOS app continuously collect and process health data in the background, including: Collecting health data from the Health app while the device is locked or in sleep mode Triggering user notifications when anomalies are detected in health data processing Are there any technical limitations? Do these capabilities require specific enterprise qualifications or additional fees? 2. Emergency Contacts Integration Can an app write or modify the system’s built-in Emergency Contacts (Medical ID)? If a user updates Emergency Contacts in iOS Settings, can the app receive a change notification or access the updated data? 3. Automated Alerting for Health Metrics Beyond Apple’s fall detection, can abnormal health metrics (heart rate, irregular rhythm, blood oxygen, etc.) trigger automated alerts such as SMS to preset emergency contacts—without requiring the user to manually open the app or only receive on-device notifications? This is a feasibility inquiry about API and system behavior, not a bug report. Any official guidance or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.
