error: null reference. when I do console.log, isAuthorized always return false, PermissionAccess.write always return undefined

[philipusmartin9]

Hello,

First of all, great work! Im so excited to try this plugin. I tried using this with RN 0.62, (using autolinking). if I run without checking isAuthorized, it always gives null reference error. So, I put some console.log(s) and found out isAuthorized always return false, PermissionAccess.write always return undefined. Did I miss a step in setting up this plugin, or maybe there's missing step in the usage?

Thanks in advance, pardon if the snippet is a bit messy

const permissions = [ { kind: Fitness.PermissionKind.Step, access: Fitness.PermissionAccess.Write } ];

`const logSteps = async () => {

console.log("permission:", permissions); // the result is {access: undefined, kind: 0}
Fitness.isAuthorized(permissions)
  .then(async (authorized) => {
    let initialDate = new Date();
    let startDate = new Date(initialDate.getFullYear(), initialDate.getMonth(), initialDate.getDate(), 0, 0, 0);
    let endDate = new Date(initialDate.getFullYear(), initialDate.getMonth(), initialDate.getDate(), 23, 59, 59);
    let formattedStart = startDate.toISOString();
    let formattedEnd = endDate.toISOString();
    console.log('start:', formattedStart);
    console.log('end:', formattedEnd);
    // Do something
    console.log('auth result:', authorized); // always return false
    if(authorized){
      let result = await Fitness.getSteps({
        startDate: formattedStart,
        endDate: formattedEnd,
        interval: 'days'
      });
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // Do something
    console.log('Failed auth', error);
  });

} `

I finally managed to make it work by adding this to my build.gradle dependencies:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:+" implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+" implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:+"

the permission request works, now the authorization returns true, but I still only get empty array even though I have steps data in my google fit account. could anyone please help with this? thanks

It works, the app can only get the google fit data in the same, not cross-device.
