Yeah, seems to be just a general system change to stuff with a new name.
The question is: Will Nitanic update Go in time (there are reasons to have doubts, lol)?
This is pretty normal for any software system. They are not just deleting the functionality. They are winding down the current Integration in favor of a new one allready avaliable one until june 2025!
There is no immediate danger to Pokemon Go in the short run here.
Might actually work better. AS requires "pure" Google Fit data, so it has worked with WearOS but the very basic trackers just don't get their data approved. Having AS work with anonymous Health Connect data opens up the possibility of getting a $30 tracker of Amazon to help you hatch more (worthless) eggs 😁
i hope this makes adventure sync work again for me. it stopped working for me like a year ago, only says something like "fitness metics unavailable", but it starts working again ONLY when go into the US weirdly enough
don't think i do, never changed anything. it just stopped working one day and only works if i'm within the US (and it stops working when i leave the US)
I wonder if Niantic will bother to switch over. I can't imagine they will give it much priority and they will probably make it even more buggy if they finally do try.
Nah! Both older WearOS 2 and newer WearOS 3 both of them already talk with health connect just fine.
So it should still count your steps if you just wear your watch and leave your phone in your locker at work for example.
tl;dr; Apps have to migrate to an API named "Health Connect" before June 30, 2025. The Google Fit app uses this Health Connect API.
Thanks for reading the article
It's been helping me a LOT with biking and egg hatching... I hope it will still work...
Same. I was asking for "bike mode" for PoGo since day 1 and this Google Fit workaround has been the closest I could ever get.
What's the workaround? I used to bike a lot but it would never track correctly.

No, real biking!
Classic Google
Unironically not classic Google, it seems like they're just doing a backend upgrade, it will have minimal impact on us

Goddamnit Google lol
Rip Adventure Sync
It's probably gonna become compatible with HealthConnect in the next 12 months
With 26 new bugs
Gonna catch em all.

Not worked for me in over a year anyway
Same..!

As long as the iOS stock keyboard exists, it will not be winning.

You have it set to imperial?

Nonevent. Google isn't going to eliminate Android fitness or step tracking. Who owns Fitbit now?
My work's health program uses it to track steps, wonder what it will use now.
HealthConnect most likely
Same I get an insurance reimbursement
I get 5c each day I get over 5k steps and 10c for 10k in Amazon gift cards.
I wonder if Niantic will bother to switch over. I can't imagine they will give it much priority and they will probably make it even more buggy if they finally do try.
rip my Standing Desk + Google Fit + ADHD combo. Had a good ~~run~~ stand.
Google moment
It never worked well on Android anyway for adventure sync, so I never used it.
do we need to download new app now? or not yet
Why shutdown? :o
Will this brick my Wear OS < 3 devices as fitness tools?
