Description

Let’s consider the following scenario:

A parent with an iPhone wants to track their children’s health data. The parent has two children:

1) an 8 years old, who has an Apple Watch but no iPhone or iPad. 2) a 12 years old, who has an Apple Watch but no iPhone or iPad.

I am planning to build a Flutter app for the parent, allowing them to track their kids' health data through their Apple Watches. The parent will set up the Apple Watches for their kids (as family members) using their own iPhone.

Using the Health package, Is it possible to fetch health data for the kids in this scenario?


I was looking into how to set-up a Apple Watch for a child who does not have their own iPhone, and discovered:

In addition, the following health & fitness is enabled (and viewable) through the Childs apple watch app on the parents phone.

Availability of features and apps

Health and fitness features:

watchos-11-iphone-15-pro-setup-choose-fam-member

ios-18-iphone-15-pro-watch-managed-watch-settings

watchos-11-iphone-15-pro-setup-move-goal

More details: Set up Apple Watch for a family member

Is it technically possible to fetch health data for kids under 13 who don’t have their own iPad or iPhone from the Apple Watch , even when the watch is set up via the parent’s iPhone using Family Setup? Can the package still retrieve their health data?
