Integration guides

An integration starts with an access boundary. A nearby sensor, a phone’s health data store, and a vendor account can all supply wearable information, but they ask different things of your application. The guides in this collection help you choose a route, identify the permissions it needs, and define a data contract that survives ordinary failures.

Begin with the introductory wearable API guide if you are choosing your first source. Move to the platform comparison when you need to understand phone health stores, then use the consent guide to plan connection and disconnection. Write down what your app must do when a user declines a permission, a sync arrives late, or access changes. Those decisions make your first prototype more useful than a connection that succeeds only on the developer’s own device.
