Apple Confirms HealthKit Bug, Delays Launch
Apple told Mashable in a statement Wednesday that the company detected a bug in the platform and it's not ready for launch.
The possibility of a delay first surfaced on Twitter, when Brian Mueller — a developer for the fitness motivation app Carrot Fit — said in a tweet that he received a call from Apple about the state of his app, noting it wouldn't be available for download because "HealthKit is just broken and isn't ready to launch."
"Sounds like HealthKit won't be working at all this week," Mueller added, according to Apple Insider. "And there's no ETA for when a bug fix will go live."
He has since deleted the tweets.
In addition to relying on developers to build apps for HealthKit, the company is reportedly working with healthcare providers at Mount Sinai Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins University and electronics health records provider AllScripts, too.
The news comes as Apple launched iOS 8 on Wednesday, a download that required up to 5.7GB of free storage space. As a result, people are scrambling to delete pictures, apps and music in order to make room for iOS.
