I'm having the same issue. Works for others, but no me. Did you figure it out yet?

I am wondering the same.

I also also seeing similar issues. Should we not be calling authorizationStatus on the main thread?

Any updates on this? I also have a workout app and I don't see my Live Activity being updated in the background. I try to update once a second, but also tried slowing it down to once every 10 seconds.

Did you resolve your issue? I had the same problem and can provide some guidance. Before saving the route I first check UIApplication.shared.isProtectedDataAvailable to see if HealthKit is locked. If it locked, then I basically postpone adding the route to the workout until the user unlocks the phone. I give the user a voice alert to open the app so the route can be saved. This is a big hack and I wish Apple would provide a better solution to saving workouts and routes when the phone is locked.

Same issue. I filed feedback: FB11781760. Anyone have a workaround?

I have an test app now using Apple's WWDC Watch Workout app sample code if anyone is interested.
