There is a native export function in Health but it generates about 1-2 GB of XML per year, since the schema is extremely verbose, so it takes a while. On the other hand, it’s very literally self-describing. But no need for handing access to Health to more or less dubious apps. I also think you can „export“ select data points to „CSV“ using a ten step Shortcut. Might be quicker.

I actually started with this but the export always had the appearance of stalling unless I left it for long periods. For a first version, the CSV export app was much quicker. And actually, the author of the app (Eric Wolter) has a nice site that will convert the xml format to csv using the FileReader api, etc.

I would like to go back to this though and add it as an integration option.

I mean, it's been vetted by Apple, right? If they did their job then it should be fine. This isn't the Play Store you're dealing with; it's the App Store. I kinda dig the "simple utility app that does one job well" format, tbh.

I don’t think the App Store Review is as comprehensive as you think.
