Open the GoChallenge app: Launch the GoChallenge app on your iPhone.
Log in and start onboarding: Follow the onscreen steps.
Connect to Apple Health: Select Apple Health when prompted during the onboarding set up.

Troubleshooting: Missing Steps or Distance Data
If you’re not seeing Steps or Distance data appear in your GoChallenge app, it usually means permissions haven’t been fully enabled on your iPhone. To fix this, check your iPhone’s Health settings:
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Scroll down and tap Apps > Health.
Select Data Access & Devices.
Choose GoChallenge from the list of apps.
Make sure the toggles for Steps and Walking + Running Distance are turned ON.
Once these are enabled, GoChallenge will be able to sync your Apple Health data correctly. Once done, it may help to swipe down in the GoChallenge app to refresh your data.
