Health Platform’s Developer Mode

Samsung Health Sensor SDK’s APIs work properly for registered partner apps in a Samsung health system. Health team registers the partner app’s info including an app package name and signature (sha256) in the Samsung’s system. And Health Platform on a watch device allows to track data only if a running app’s package name and signature both are matched with the registered info. Otherwise, the SDK gives SDK_POLICY ERROR.

A registered app signature in the Samsung health system should be from the application’s release key. If partner app developer would like to run or test the app with a different app key, use the Health Platform’s developer mode.

NoteThe Health Platform’s developer mode is ONLY for a test or debug your app. It is NOT for app users. Please do not provide a developer mode guide to app users.
