Some Apps I have been using to track sleep (for example Sleep++ and AutoSleep) have been saving duplicate entries in HealthKit (sometimes even storing 4 or 5 duplicates), almost every day (for a very long period). I would like to remove those duplicates.
Deleting these duplicates manually will be an enormous chore (and with a high risk of accidentally deleting a unique record); thus I want to automate this. But how?
I’m familiar with these tools/languages:
- Xcode (Swift, Objective-C)
- Pythonista (Python)
- Scriptable (JavaScript)
- Shortcuts
But I’m afraid it might not possible at all:
Your app can delete only those objects that it has previously saved to the HealthKit store.
