I just got my phone yesterday and I have done the new 8.0.2 update but I see the same thing on my healthkit screen. So, my fitbit isn't talking to it yet either. Has anyone figured anything out yet or are we just holding on until someone comes up with a fix? 😕

Now that 8.0.2 is out with HealthKit support, I believe we're now waiting on Apple to approve (and for developers to update) the updated apps that will integrate with Healthkit. Apple announced they pulled many updates when HealthKit was broken in the release of 8.0


So now we wait for fitbit to update.


Then, we'll figure out how this all works 🙂

*Update*


I just got an update to MyFitnessPal that includes HealthKit integration!


There's settings inside MyFitnessPal to send data to HealthKit and once I turned those on, Health App now shows MyFitnessPal in the data sources and graphs are starting to populate!


So, as I mentioned above, you'll have to watch for updates to your favorite apps to roll out.

I selected Walking and Running but that is not showing as allowing MFP as a data source. Calories, yes. I've tried every option with a flame icon and nothing shows MFP as a data source. Shame. Want to "disconnect" and reconnect MFP to try that but there is no such option. Pretty frustrated.

I have done some poking around and I see lots of things coming thru from MFP to Health App - Sodium and Calcium etc are coming thru from the foods I log in MFP so somethings are coming thru


For walking, I'm letting the phone track that data and it is working fine. I'm still tracking my location thru the fitbit app, but the phone is tracking steps
