Providers

1. Most resources now use a resumable sync & upload process.

   • This enables the SDK to make constant forward progress, especially when you have specified a very large historical pull stage (60-365 days) through the Team Data Pull Preferences API.

2. The SDK now prioritises syncing of summary types over timeseries data.

   • During the historical pull stage, all timeseries resources would be suppressed until all the summary types have been successfully uploaded.

   • After the historical pull stage, the SDK would make forward progress on summary types, before it proceeds to deal with the more CPU-time consuming timeseries data that are more prone to operating system throttling.

3. With an updated iOS App Target configuration, the SDK would now self-register as a BGProcessingTask or BGHealthResearchTask (iOS 17+) to the iOS BackgroundTasks framework.

   • This would provide the SDK an additional opportunity to complete any resource sync that is not able to complete during normal HealthKit background delivery.

   • Please refer to the Apple HealthKit guide on how to update your iOS App Target configuration in Xcode.

Ask for data permission on the MenstrualCycle resource from the user through the Vital Health SDK.

Check out the Get Menstrual Cycles endpoint and the Menstrual Cycle data events in the Event Catalog for more information.

Check out the Get Workouts endpoint and the Workout Created event for more information.

This is an alternative option to our practice-based Freestyle Libre provider (freestyle_libre).

With abbott_libreview, Vital uses the provided LibreView patient account credentials to connect directly to LibreView. There is no involvement of a LibreView practice in this integration.

Note that both practice-based and patient-based connections would continue to be supported in parallel. The abbott_libreview integration does not replace the freestyle_libre integration.

Check out the Abbott LibreView / Freestyle Libre guide for more information.

We have now updated our Fitbit and Oura integrations not to depend on these scopes to be minimally functional.

If you are interested in requiring your users to grant certain scopes when connecting an OAuth provider, check out the Team Scope Requirements changelog entry and the Set Team Scope Requirements endpoint for more information.

Check out the Freestyle Libre documentation for more information.

The feature is available through the following Vital Mobile SDK releases:
