Health Platform’s developer mode

Samsung Health Sensor SDK features are implemented in the watch Health Platform. They work properly after registering partner app information in a Samsung health system. The health team registers partner app information including an app package name and signature (sha256) after approving a partner request. A registered app signature in the Samsung health system should be from the app’s release key. See more information on partner requests on process.

Health Platform on a Galaxy Watch allows a Wear OS app using Samsung Health Sensor SDK to track health sensor data only if the running app’s package name and signature are both matched with the registered information. Otherwise, the SDK gives SDK_POLICY ERROR.

If you would like to test your app with a different app key, use Health Platform’s developer mode.
