Only for Wear OS devices - API 30+

THIS APP ONLY PROVIDES CUSTOM COMPLICATION WHICH PULLS HEART RATE INFO FROM HEALTH SERVICES

DISCLAIMER: Latest Galaxy Watch firmware update (to Wear OS 4) changed how HR is reported by Health Services. HR is now taken continuously without an option to set measure interval. This may possibly change in the future.

[Notice: Android 13+ - Changes to background body sensor permission]
This app uses PassiveMonitoringClient in order to be able to obtain Heart Rate values & update custom complication in the background. Starting with Wear OS 4, app will ask for new BODY_SENSORS_BACKGROUND. In the consequent permission request, user also needs to give 'All the time' permission. This is to ensure complication updates correctly in the background.

COMPLICATION UPDATE INTERVAL
• complication updates data instantly when screen is ON, or measurement is provided by Health Services.
• complication has 5-minute refresh interval in case automatic measurement is taken while screen is off. Complication refreshes data as soon as screen turns ON.

HOW THIS APP WORKS?
• this app is using new HEALTH SERVICES API PassiveData monitor to get HR data & push this data directly to complication service.
• complication app doesn't share any user data. It simply allows its users to see data in a watch face complication.
"Passive data updates are suited for apps that need to monitor Health Services data in the background. This is meant for long-lived experiences where data updates can be infrequent and spread over time"
