🔗 Google Fit Integration Setup

The application includes seamless Google Fit integration for automatic fitness data synchronization. Follow these steps to enable Google Fit connectivity:

Prerequisites

• Google Cloud Console account
• Google Fit API enabled
• OAuth 2.0 credentials configured

Step 1: Google Cloud Console Setup

1. Create a Google Cloud Project

   • Go to Google Cloud Console
   • Create a new project or select an existing one
   • Note your project ID for reference

2. Enable Google Fit API

   # Navigate to APIs & Services > Library
   # Search for "Fitness API" and enable it

3. Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials

   • Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
   • Click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth 2.0 Client ID"
   • Configure the consent screen if prompted
   • Select "Web application" as application type
   • Add authorized origins:
     • http://localhost:5173 (development)
     • https://yourdomain.com (production)
   • Add authorized redirect URIs:
     • http://localhost:5173/auth/google/callback (development)
     • https://yourdomain.com/auth/google/callback (production)

Step 2: Frontend Environment Configuration

Update your frontend/.env file with Google Fit credentials:

# Google Fit Integration
VITE_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_google_client_id_here.apps.googleusercontent.com
VITE_GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key_here

# Optional: Google Fit Configuration
VITE_GOOGLE_FIT_SCOPES=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fitness.activity.read,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fitness.body.read

Step 3: Google API Key Setup

1. Create an API Key
   • In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services > Credentials
   • Click "Create Credentials" > "API Key"
   • Copy the generated API key
   • Restrict the API key (recommended):
     • Click on the API key to edit
     • Under "API restrictions", select "Restrict key"
     • Choose "Fitness API" from the list

Step 4: OAuth Consent Screen Configuration

1. Configure Consent Screen

   • Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen
   • Choose "External" user type (for public apps)
   • Fill in required information:
     • App name: "Calories Tracker"
     • User support email: your email
     • Developer contact information: your email

2. Add Required Scopes

   • Click "Add or Remove Scopes"
   • Add the following scopes:
     • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fitness.activity.read
     • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fitness.body.read
     • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fitness.location.read

3. Add Test Users (for development)

   • Add email addresses of users who will test the integration
   • Note: Remove this step when publishing to production

Step 5: Verification for Production

For production deployment, you'll need to verify your app:

1. Submit for Verification

   • Complete the OAuth consent screen with all required information
   • Add privacy policy and terms of service URLs
   • Submit for Google's review process

2. Domain Verification

   • Verify ownership of your domain
   • Add your production URLs to authorized origins

Step 6: Testing the Integration

1. Development Testing

   cd frontend
   npm run dev

   • Navigate to the Activities page (بيانات الساعة الذكية)
   • Click "الاتصال بـ Google Fit" (Connect to Google Fit)
   • Complete the OAuth flow
   • Verify data synchronization

2. Debug Mode

   • The app includes a Google Fit debug component
   • Check browser console for detailed logs
   • Use the test functions in utils/googleFitTest.js

Features Enabled by Google Fit Integration

✅ Automatic Data Sync: Steps, calories, distance, and heart rate
✅ Real-time Updates: Data refreshes every 30 minutes
✅ Smart Form Population: Activity forms auto-fill with Google Fit data
✅ Connection Status: Visual indicators for connection status
✅ Quick Sync Button: One-click data synchronization
✅ Persistent Connection: Maintains connection across sessions

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: "Google Fit CLIENT_ID is not configured"

• Solution: Ensure VITE_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID is set in your .env file

Issue: "OAuth error: redirect_uri_mismatch"

• Solution: Verify redirect URIs in Google Cloud Console match your app URLs

Issue: "Access blocked: This app's request is invalid"

• Solution: Complete OAuth consent screen configuration and add test users

Issue: "API key not valid"

• Solution: Check API key restrictions and ensure Fitness API is enabled

Security Best Practices

🔒 Environment Variables: Never commit API keys to version control
🔒 API Key Restrictions: Always restrict API keys to specific APIs and domains
🔒 HTTPS Only: Use HTTPS in production for secure OAuth flows
🔒 Token Storage: Tokens are stored securely in browser localStorage
🔒 Scope Limitation: Request only necessary permissions from users

Data Privacy & Compliance

• User Consent: Users must explicitly consent to Google Fit access
• Data Minimization: Only necessary fitness data is accessed
• Secure Storage: All tokens and data are handled securely
• User Control: Users can disconnect Google Fit at any time
