Samsung Health’s Developer Mode

The Samsung Health Data SDK works properly for registered partner applications in a Samsung Health system. The Health team registers the partner application information including an application package name and signature (sha256), with an available data type scope in the Samsung system. Moreover, the Samsung Health application allows the SDK’s data access only if a running application's package name and signature are both matched with the registered information.

A registered application signature in the Samsung Health system should be from the application release key. If a partner application developer would like to test the application with a different application key, activate the Samsung Health’s application Developer mode.


You can activate Developer mode with the following steps:

  1. Select the ‘⋮’ button of Samsung Health in the top-right.
  2. Select Settings > About Samsung Health.
  3. Tap the version line region quickly 10 times or more.
    If you are successful, the Developer mode (new) button is shown.
  4. Select Developer mode (new) > On.
  5. Agree with Notice of usage of the developer mode.
  6. For reading data from Samsung with the Samsung Health Data SDK, turn Developer Mode for Data Read on.

  1. If need to write data to the Samsung Health with the SDK:
    a. Get the access code through requesting partnership. See the process page and submit your request.
    b. After the request approval, you would get an access code.
    c. Enter the Client ID as your application’s package name and the Access Code which you obtained.
