Track workouts with HealthKit on iOS + GPS tracking
I've built an iOS app according to this WWDC25 video (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/322). I added GPS tracking for workouts. In Xcode, I've enabled Signing & Capabilities > Background Modes: Location Updates. And in my code, I request CLAuthorisationStatus.authorizedAlways. Everything works as expected, but I am unsure if .authorizedWhenInUse will not be sufficient for this kind of app. It seems even to work when I use .authorizedWhenInUse as either the Dynamic Island or the Live Activity is shown when the app is not in the foreground. I need clarification by an expert.

Indoor workout location
In the Fitness app under iOS 26, each workout location is displayed on a small map. For workouts with routes, I can already successfully read out the route and thus also determine the starting point. So that works. For indoor workouts such as yoga or indoor rowing, the exact location is also displayed in the Fitness app. I would now also like to read out this location for these indoor workouts in my app. Does anyone know how to do this?

Location of indoor workouts
In the fitness app under iOS 18, the location of all workouts is displayed on a small map. For workouts with routes, I can already successfully read out the route and thus also determine the starting point. So that works. For indoor workouts such as yoga or indoor rowing, the exact location is also displayed in the fitness app. I would now also like to read out this location for these indoor workouts in my app. Does anyone know how to do this?
