Steps

  1. Confirm you cannot create new Google Fit API projects — sign-ups closed May 1, 2024, and the API is slated for full deprecation by end of 2026
  2. For Android/mobile-first step and activity tracking, migrate client-side reads/writes to Health Connect, Android's on-device unified health data layer
  3. For server-side/cloud integrations, evaluate Google's newer Health API as the intended replacement rather than Health Connect, which is on-device only
  4. Plan for the fact that existing Google Fit data does not auto-transfer — each user must reconnect their data sources inside Health Connect themselves
  5. For iOS/web fitness needs, plan around provider-specific APIs (e.g. Fitbit Web API, Apple HealthKit), since Health Connect does not cover those platforms
