isAuthorized returns false always on Android < 14

[ChandraKAV]

on Android 13 and less, isAuthorized is returning false even when permissions are given on Google Fit. HealthConnect is installed and permissions are given.

private androidDataTypes = [
    'heart_rate',
    'steps',
    'blood_glucose',
    'height',
    'weight',
    'activity',
  ];

cordova.plugins.health.isAuthorized(
        {
          read: androidDataTypes  // Only checking for read access
        },
        (result: boolean) => resolve(result),
        (error: any) => reject(error)
      );

Permissions are given to our app in HealthConnect and Google Fit. HealthConnect has permissions in Google Fit. Still, plugin is returning false. Not sure if the implementation needs to be different on Android < 14.

BTW: On Android 14 it is working as expected and is returning data correctly.

Are we doing anything incorrectly ? Plugin is expected to recognise Android version and appropriately check the permissions , right?

it may be a bug in HealthConnect, especially if it seems to work correctly on Android >13.
I'd always try to get permissions even if already given, also because if already given the function will just return.

I am checking for permissions always. we migrated from the earlier version of the plugin that worked with Google Fit to this version supporting HealthConnect. Resolved all problems while working with Google Fit as you are familiar.

is there a way to check / raise an issue with HealthConnect on this?

you can contact Google for bugs, sure, I guess they'd be happy to receive suggestions
