[health: ^10.2.0] Permission launcher not found

[winninggodspower]

i keep getting Permission launcher not found when trying to request android health connect permission

Device / Emulator and OS

i'm emulating on a physical device

• Device: Nokia Nokia 2.3
• OS: (Android 11)

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce

made the initial setup following the instruction from the read me. i have a button that calls this function

`Future authorize() async { final permissions = [ Permission.activityRecognition, Permission.location, ];

await permissions.request();

bool? hasPermissions =
    await Health().hasPermissions(health_settings.types, permissions: health_settings.permissions);
developer.log('has permission: $hasPermissions');

bool authorized = hasPermissions ?? false;
if (hasPermissions != true) {
  try {
    authorized = await Health()
        .requestAuthorization(health_settings.types, permissions: health_settings.permissions);
  } catch (error) {
    developer.log("Exception in authorize: $error");
  }
}
developer.log('is it authorized: $authorized');

// Update the global permission state
Provider.of<DevicePermissionProvider>(context, listen: false).setAuthorization(authorized);

setState(() => _state =
    (authorized) ? AppState.AUTHORIZED : AppState.AUTH_NOT_GRANTED);

}`

The "Health().requestAuthorization" call returns false, but then the Health().requestAuthorization keeps giving me this log👉 Permission launcher not found therefore the permission popup never shows up

in case you're wondering where the health_permission.type is coming from. it's from this file ` import 'package:health/health.dart';

var types = [ HealthDataType.STEPS, HealthDataType.HEART_RATE, HealthDataType.BODY_TEMPERATURE, HealthDataType.WEIGHT, HealthDataType.BLOOD_OXYGEN ];

List get permissions => types.map((e) => HealthDataAccess.READ).toList(); `

Expected behavior

show permission launcher

Actual behavior

doesn't show permission launcher

I've had similar issue, and I've found that my project was missing this (comparing to their example but omitted in documentation) in build.gradle:

dependencies {
    // The old fitness api
    // def composeBom = platform('androidx.compose:compose-bom:2022.10.00')
    // implementation(composeBom)
    // implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    // testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    // implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:21.1.0")
    // implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:20.2.0")
    // The new health connect api
    implementation "androidx.health.connect:connect-client:1.1.0-alpha02"
}

I'm testing on android 14 and last line is enough but original Health example had the old api uncommented instead. Hope it helps!

[health: ^11.1.0] still got the same error message "Permission launcher not found" even after adding implementation "androidx.health.connect:connect-client:1.1.0-alpha02" Android 12

any solutions ?

Thanks

[lukepighetti]

getting this issue on Health 11.0.0, but it may be some configuration issue that I'm not aware of

I was facing the same problem, solution is hidden in documentation. You need to change your MainActivity from FlutterActivity to FlutterFragmentActivity. Documentation may leading to confusion, with Android 14 in header where it's mentioned.

I am facing the same problem, also added in build.gradle implementation "androidx.health.connect:connect-client:1.1.0-alpha02" But there is no problem for Android 13 or higher, below 13 still can't have a permission request
