Is Expo Pedometer supported on Android?

Question

I\'m setting up a Pedometer app in React Native using Expo, testing the code on my real Samsung s10 device.

I am using the Expo Pedometer documentation

Howev

Answer 1

I did something nasty as a workaround but it worked I added expo 33 as a legacy npm dependency and use only the pedometer module from there because currently they didn't implemented the pedometer functionality on android on the new Expo unimodules

package.json

"expo": "^35.0.0",
 "expo-legacy": "npm:expo@33.0.0",

And use it like this

import {Pedometer} from 'expo-legacy'

Surprisingly compiled and only increased 200kb the apk size

Answer 2

Yes, by using Core Motion (iOS) or Google Fit (Android) to get the user's step count. Any Android phone running on a 4.4 (KitKat) operating system or later will connect with Google Fit.

Pedometer unable to query steps, documentation unclear/contradictory.
