### How to set up HealthKit?

2. **Enable HealthKit in Natively**

   Turn on the HealthKit feature and fill out the following information:

   * **Read permission description** - A message to the user that explains why the app requested permission to read samples from the HealthKit store. Refer to [**Apple's guidelines** ](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/app-architecture/accessing-user-data/)to avoid potential **rejection**.
   * **Write permission description** - A message to the user that explains why the app requested permission to save samples to the HealthKit store. Refer to [**Apple's guidelines** ](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/app-architecture/accessing-user-data/)to avoid potential **rejection**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For now, Natively **supports only reading data** from HealthKit (We plan to add writing soon). But **Apple requires** apps that only read data to provide **both Read/Write permission text**. You can **use Read text for both Read & Write**.
{% endhint %}

3. **Go to Natively and rebuild your app**
