Plugin Version

Operating System

Android 14

Describe the bug

Issue Description

When syncing data from Google Fit to Health Connect, my app retrieves step data using getHealthDataFromTypes(). However, all step data has RecordingMethod.UNKNOWN, even though manually entered data exists in Google Fit. This makes it impossible to differentiate between manually entered and recorded step data.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Google Fit.
2. Input step data.
3. Sync data from Google Fit to Health Connect.

Expected Behavior

When data is manually entered, RecordingMethod should return a specific value (e.g., MANUAL).
When data is recorded via a wearable device or app, RecordingMethod should correctly indicate the source (e.g., AUTOMATIC).

Actual Behavior

All data appears to have the same RecordingMethod, making it impossible to differentiate between manually entered and recorded data.

Is there any update?

I do have the same behavior with each health app that counts steps as well.
