Running example app is extremely difficult

[HarisSpahija]

As someone who is new to using google fit in flutter it is particularly hard to run the example app. A lot is either missing or just wrong such as the dependency of fit_kit in pubspec.yaml

Could there be some more instructions added to the README.md on how to make the example run? Thanks!

Hey @HarisSpahija

Could you please name all the issues you had trouble with? Submitting step by step in a PR would definitely help me.

About the dependency then it's correct. You should clone the whole project.

This was a bit how my process went trying to test the example app

1. I cloned the example folder
2. Flutter run gave me an error that fit_kit was undefined
3. Changed fit_kit in pubspec.yaml
4. Received no data in the example app
5. Had to create a google oAuth2 token
6. Add items to gradle according to the Google Fit instructions
7. Rebuild the app
8. Finally got the app to work

I think having a simple instructions guide or warning with:

You need to get a oauth2 key before you can run this app. 
Clone the entire project for running the example app etc. 

Having this would already be super helpful for new users for this library.

@HarisSpahija what items you added in gradle? Because I am still getting 0 in all the data

@jaydeep42 Just add google-services.json with oauth2 ID generated and in build.gradle under dependencies add these 2: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:18.0.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:17.0.0' Happy Fluttering! :))
