monitorSampleType when app is not running

[faldunate]

Hello guys,

I'm using healthkit to obtain some fit data like steps, distance, and calories, I can obtain that information without a problem.

The problem starts when I try to bring that information to my endpoint, monitorSampleType seems to work it when the app is foreground, but when the app is not running, this doesn't work. I understand that HKObserverQuery activates my application when the information is updated in healthkit, but this is not happening.

I activated background fetch of capabilities and I edited my schema to check the option of "launch due to a background fetch event".

this is my code:

this.health.monitorSampleType({
    'startDate': startDate,
    'endDate': endDate,
    'sampleType': 'HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount',
    'unit': 'count'
}).then((data) => {
    this.sendActivity(data).subscribe(response => {
        console.log(response);
    });
});

xcode logs:
Ionic Native: deviceready event fired after 2037 ms Setting up ObserverQuery Background devliery enabled HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount Executing ObserverQuery HealthKit plugin received a monitorSampleType, passing it to JS.

Am I doing something wrong?
