Running app that logs 'exercise minutes' to Apple Health?

Hello - I have tried almost every running app in the app store (Nike, Runkeeper, Map My Run, Stava, and many more) and not a single one of them has access to write 'Exercise Minutes' to Apple Health (Looking at the 'Data Sources & Access' section of 'Exercise Minutes' in Apple Health).


My work's benefit program offers discounts, etc for health insurance if we track our exercise minutes in their app (which has 'Read' access to 'Exercise Minutes' in the app).


What am I missing? What apps for running are available that write my minutes I have run to 'Exercise Minutes' in Apple Health or do I need to reach out to maker of the app for my insurance and suggest they try to read the minutes I exercise from another data source in Apple Health?

iPhone 13

I am not having a problem with these apps per se, I am having a problem with the fact that Apple Health does not record the minutes these apps are tracking. All these apps track the minutes I am exercising, not Apple is not allowing any of them to update 'Exercise Minutes' in Apple Health.


Why is that? It cannot be a problem with EVERY running app out there, it has to be an issue with Apple Health.
