Apple Health and In-App Workout not Merging

I can see it is taking heart rate data from the apple health for the workout but it’s creating a separate activity with just the apple health workout I fetched from garmin connect but not merging the 2 into one workout when the starting time and end time are almost the same it used to merge in the earlier versions perfectly but it’s not now. please cross check it on your end and if needed I’ll share the screenshot in here

see this is what I mean the Harmon one is with the 42mins and the Strongsplit workout with the data of exercises Is the 43 min one and as for apple health Strongsplit doesn’t write to apple health it can only read data from apple health I set it up that way.

if you go to Apple Health > Sharing > Apps > Strongsplit > Data from "Strongsplit" > Workouts, do you see a workout created for 17-Apr with 123 kcal?

There was a logic change to automatically create a workout in Apple Health if no Apple Watch was detected. Will include some customisation to toggle off this behaviour + an option to choose whether to write to Apple Health in the complete screen. Thanks for highlighting this

On Apple Health, is there a separate workout created in addition to the workout that you have via Garmin connect? If so, you can disable the workout write permissions on Apple Health so that it will rely only on the sessions from Garmin in the future. Thereafter you can remove the additional session that was created via Apple Health so that it will use the Garmin session instead.
