In an upcoming update, popular augmented reality game Pokémon Go will gain support for the Apple Health app, developer Niantic announced today.
Adventure Sync, a new feature, will use walking distances pulled from Apple Health to let you earn candy and hatch eggs even when the Pokémon Go app isn't running.
Niantic says Adventure Sync will also provide Pokémon Go users with a weekly summary on incubator and candy progress right alongside activity statistics.
Through the trainer profile, Pokémon Go users will be able to see the number of kilometers walked each week, and rewards will be available for each milestones that's reached.
Adventure Sync is "coming soon" and alongside Apple Health on iPhones, it will work with Google Fit on Android devices.
Pokémon Go can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

Welcome change, and the weekly stats will be awesome too!
I just hope this integration doesn’t introduce any privacy or security concerns.
Wasn't there reports that the game made $86million last month?
You should check out a community day when they are on once a month. there are still hundreds of players whenever i go out. And as i work in a CBD whenever there is a raid on there is at least 20-30 players without fail. It's built an amazing community of players.
