<string>This app needs access to health data to provide personalized insights</string>
<key>NSHealthUpdateUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs permission to save health data</string>
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```typescript
import { 
  HealthKitBridge, 
  QuantityTypeIdentifier,
  useHealthKitAuthorization 
} from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

// Initialize bridge
const bridge = new HealthKitBridge();

// Check authorization for multiple types
const authStatus = await bridge.getAuthorizationStatus([
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.HeartRate
]);

// Check type availability in batch
const availability = await bridge.isTypeAvailable([
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.HeartRate,
  CategoryTypeIdentifier.SleepAnalysis
]);

// Check read permissions in batch
const canRead = await bridge.canReadType([
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.HeartRate
]);

// Get detailed status for multiple types
const detailedStatus = await bridge.getDetailedAuthorizationStatus([
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.HeartRate
]);

// Request authorization
await bridge.requestAuthorization();

// Query data
const steps = await bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  'count',
  7
);
```

### Using React Hooks

```typescript
import { useHealthKitAuthorization } from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

function HealthDashboard() {
  const { 
    isAuthorized, 
    isLoading, 
    error, 
    requestAuthorization 
  } = useHealthKitAuthorization([
    QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
    QuantityTypeIdentifier.HeartRate
  ]);

  if (isLoading) return <LoadingSpinner />;
  if (error) return <ErrorMessage error={error} />;
  if (!isAuthorized) return <AuthButton onPress={requestAuthorization} />;

  return <HealthDataDisplay />;
}
```

## ⚡ Performance Features

### Intelligent Caching

```typescript
import { HealthKitCache, HealthKitBridge } from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

const bridge = new HealthKitBridge();
const cache = HealthKitCache.getInstance();

// Cache is automatically used in getAuthorizationStatus
const authStatus = await bridge.getAuthorizationStatus(types);

// Manual cache operations
const cacheKey = HealthKitCache.createQueryKey('stepCount', 'count', 7);
cache.set(cacheKey, data, 5 * 60 * 1000); // 5 minutes TTL

const cachedData = cache.get(cacheKey);
if (cachedData) {
  console.log('Data retrieved from cache');
}

// Cache statistics
const stats = cache.getStats();
console.log('Cache hit rate:', stats.hitRate);
```

### Automatic Retry

```typescript
import { withRetry, RetryManager } from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

// Automatic retry for authorization
const authStatus = await bridge.getAuthorizationStatus(types);

// Manual retry configuration
const result = await withRetry(
  () => bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(identifier, unit, days),
  {
    maxAttempts: 3,
    baseDelay: 1000,
    maxDelay: 10000,
    backoffMultiplier: 2,
    retryableErrors: ['ERR_QUERY', 'ERR_TIMEOUT']
  }
);

if (result.success) {
  console.log('Operation succeeded after', result.attempts, 'attempts');
}
```

### Performance Monitoring

```typescript
import { MetricsCollector, withMetrics } from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

// Automatic metrics collection
const data = await withMetrics('getQuantitySamples', () =>
  bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(identifier, unit, days)
);

// Get performance statistics
const metrics = MetricsCollector.getInstance();
const summary = metrics.getSummary();
console.log('Average query time:', summary.getQuantitySamples?.avg || 0);
console.log('Success rate:', summary.getQuantitySamples?.successRate || 0);
```

### Structured Logging

```typescript
import { 
  HealthKitLogger, 
  logInfo, 
  logError 
} from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

// Log operations
logInfo('Starting health data query', { identifier, unit, days });

try {
  const data = await bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(identifier, unit, days);
  logInfo('Query completed successfully', { dataCount: data.length });
} catch (error) {
  logError('Query failed', error, { identifier, unit });
}

// Get logs for analysis
const logger = HealthKitLogger.getInstance();
const recentLogs = logger.getRecentLogs(50);
const errorLogs = logger.getLogs('error');
```

## 🛡️ Type Safety

### Complete TypeScript Support

```typescript
import { 
  QuantityTypeIdentifier, 
  QuantityTypeToUnit,
  CategoryTypeIdentifier,
  CharacteristicTypeIdentifier 
} from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

// Type-safe identifiers
const stepCountId = QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount;
const heartRateId = QuantityTypeIdentifier.HeartRate;

// Type-safe units (automatically mapped)
const stepUnit: QuantityTypeToUnit[typeof stepCountId] = 'count';
const heartUnit: QuantityTypeToUnit[typeof heartRateId] = 'count/min';

// Type-safe queries
const steps = await bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(stepCountId, stepUnit, 7);
const heartRate = await bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(heartRateId, heartUnit, 24);
```

### Automatic Unit Mapping

```typescript
// ✅ Correct - TypeScript will enforce correct units
const steps = await bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  'count', // ✅ Valid for StepCount
  7
);

// ❌ Error - TypeScript will catch this
const steps = await bridge.getQuantitySamplesForDays(
  QuantityTypeIdentifier.StepCount,
  'bpm', // ❌ Invalid for StepCount
  7
);
```

import { 
  HealthKitBridge, 
  MetricsCollector, 
  HealthKitCache, 
  HealthKitLogger 
} from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

async function healthCheck() {
  const bridge = new HealthKitBridge();
  const metrics = MetricsCollector.getInstance();
  const cache = HealthKitCache.getInstance();
  const logger = HealthKitLogger.getInstance();
  
  const report = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    healthKit: {
      available: await bridge.checkAvailability(),
      version: await bridge.getVersion()
    },
    performance: {
      metrics: metrics.getSummary(),
      cache: cache.getStats(),
      logs: logger.getLogStats()
    },
    recommendations: []
  };
  
  // Generate recommendations
  if (report.performance.cache.hitRate < 0.5) {
    report.recommendations.push('Consider increasing cache TTL');
  }
  
  return report;
}
```

### Performance Monitoring

```typescript
import { MetricsCollector, HealthKitCache } from 'react-native-healthkit-bridge';

function monitorPerformance() {
  const metrics = MetricsCollector.getInstance();
  const cache = HealthKitCache.getInstance();
  
  // Monitor cache performance
  const cacheStats = cache.getStats();
  if (cacheStats.hitRate < 0.5) {
    console.warn('Low cache hit rate, consider adjusting TTL');
  }
  
  // Monitor operation performance
  const summary = metrics.getSummary();
  Object.entries(summary).forEach(([operation, stats]) => {
    if (stats.avg > 1000) {
      console.warn(`Slow operation: ${operation} (${stats.avg}ms avg)`);
    }
    if (stats.successRate < 0.9) {
      console.warn(`Low success rate: ${operation} (${stats.successRate * 100}%)`);
    }
  });
