Apple's HealthKit Is Broken Just Hours Before iOS 8 Is Expected To Arrive
Just hours before it is expected to release its new iOS 8 mobile operating system, Apple is reportedly facing problems with HealthKit, according to MacRumors.
HealthKit is a service that will allow fitness apps to interact and feed information into Apple's new Health app, which will track a user's heart rate, calories burned, and other fitness-related metrics.
The issue is so severe that Apple has even pulled Healthkit-compatible apps from the App Store, according to Carrot developer Brian Mueller.
Well that's a relief. Just got a call from Apple, there's nothing wrong with CARROT Fit. HealthKit is just broken and isn't ready to launch.

Sounds like HealthKit won't be working at all this week. And there's no ETA for when a bug fix will go live.

Apple is still expected to launch iOS 8 to the public in the next few hours, but there's clearly some kinks that still need to be worked out.
