Add location and weather information to your HealthKit training session
I am working on an application that uses HealthKit
and HKWorkout
sessions are created and added to the store HealthKit
.
Now after I have finished my outdoor workout using the Apple Natural Workout app on my Watch (like Open Water Swimming), when I open this workout in the Activity app on my iPhone, it tells me where I started my activity and the weather conditions at the time.
I was reading the documentation HealthKit
, but I couldn't find an API to add this information from my application to HKWorkoutSession
.
Is it possible for the developers to add this to HKWorkout
, and if so: how?

To add weather data to workout apps, you must specify values for metadata HKMetadataKeyWeatherCondition
, HKMetadataKeyWeatherTemperature
or HKMetadataKeyWeatherHumidity
for saved data HKWorkout
. For more information, see the metadata link .
There is no API for specifying a general workout location. However, in watchOS 4.0, your app can now save HKWorkoutRoute
along with HKWorkout
to provide a route map that the user took ( documentation ).
