Why isn’t the queryDyskineticSymptom callback executing after calling monitorKinesias in Swift?

I'm a beginner in Swift and I'm developing an app for Parkinson’s disease research. I have the necessary entitlements and plist configurations set up correctly, yet I'm not seeing any results from my movement disorder monitoring.
I call the monitoring function when a button is pressed:
SWIFTmovementDisorderManager.monitorKinesias(forDuration: 60.0 * 60.0 * 24.0 * 7.0)
To debug, I created the following test function to print the output to the console:
SWIFTfunc testFunc() { if CMMovementDisorderManager.isAvailable() { print("Movement disorder monitoring is available.") } else { print("Movement disorder monitoring is not available on this device.") } let status = CMMovementDisorderManager.authorizationStatus() print("authorization status: \(status)") if status == .authorized { print("authorizatized.") } else { print("unauthorizatized.") } previousDate = Date().addingTimeInterval(-10800) // 3 hours ago guard let endDate = movementDisorderManager.lastProcessedDate() else { print("lastProcessedDate is nil") return } print("from: \(previousDate) to: \(endDate)") // Query tremor data movementDisorderManager.queryDyskineticSymptom(from: previousDate, to: endDate) { (tremorResults, error) in print("line 190") if let error = error { print("Error querying tremor data: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } print("count: \(tremorResults.count)") for result in tremorResults { print("Tremor Result: \(result)") } } }
The console output is as follows:
PLAINTEXTMovement disorder monitoring is available. authorization status: CMAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 3) authorizatized. from: 2025-01-28 11:55:02 +0000 to: 2025-01-28 14:52:00 +0000
I’m not seeing any further output – no "line 190", no count, and no tremor results. What could be causing the query callback to not execute?

Below is one likely explanation:
• The callback in your query isn’t being called because no movement disorder data is available yet. The movement disorder framework (via CMMovementDisorderManager) doesn’t immediately return sample data when you start monitoring. In your case, you call monitorKinesias(forDuration: …) when the button is pressed, but the sensor data (or processed results) aren’t generated right away. Even though the manager is “available” and authorized, if no dyskinetic (or tremor) events have been recorded during that period then the completion block you pass to queryDyskineticSymptom(from:to:) never fires.
• In other words, because your test function runs immediately (or before any data has been captured by the sensor), nothing is returned. Note that the printed “lastProcessedDate” isn’t necessarily the time when samples have been recorded—it can simply be a value set by the framework prior to getting any actual movement data.
• Also verify that you’re testing on a supported device. Some of these APIs won’t deliver real data on simulators or on older devices.
To troubleshoot this further you can:
In short, if no dyskinetic or kinesia events have been detected yet, then the query’s completion handler will not be called and you won’t see “line 190” or any count printed.

Do you have any recorded results stored with the manager object? From the docs:
Use this method to asynchronously query for tremor results recorded by the monitorKinesias(forDuration:) method. The movement disorder manager keeps tremor results for only seven days after the time of recording.
It sounds like you're authorized, and have correct entitlements, but I wonder if there's just no data recorded yet and you need to call monitorkinesias before attempting to get the results.
