Samsung Health’s developer mode

Samsung Health Data SDK works properly for registered partner apps in a Samsung Health system. The Health team registers the partner app information including an app's package name and signature (sha256), with an available data type scope in the Samsung system. Moreover, Samsung Health allows the SDK’s data access only if a running app’s package name and signature are both matched with the registered information.
The app signature registered in the Samsung Health system should come from the app release key. If a partner app developer would like to test the app with a different app key, activate Samsung Health’s developer mode.


You can activate Developer mode with the following steps:

  1. Tap the ‘⋮’ button of Samsung Health in the top-right.
  2. Select Settings > About Samsung Health.
  3. Tap the version line region quickly 10 times or more.
    If you are successful, the Developer mode (Samsung Health Data SDK) button is displayed.
  1. Select Developer mode (Samsung Health Data SDK) .
  2. Agree with Notice of usage of the Developer mode.
  3. For reading data from Samsung Health with Samsung Health Data SDK, turn Developer Mode for Data Read on.
  4. To write data of Samsung Health with the SDK:
    a. Get the access code through requesting partnership. See the process page and submit your request.
    b. After the request approval, you would get an access code.
    c. Enter the Client ID as your application’s package name and the Access Code which you obtained.
