There are two versions of SDKs for accessing Samsung Health data from 3rd party apps:

What’s the difference between these two libraries?
Should developers use only “Samsung Health Data SDK” as more relevant?
Is it possible to write data to Samsung Health using “Samsung Health Data SDK”?

Hello,
Data SDK is quite new and designed as successor of SDK for Android. Currently it is in beta version.
Data SDK requires if partner would like to distribute their app in some store, like Google Play. Does not need for everyone.
Data SDK written in Kotlin, while Health SDK written in Java.

Thanks!
