May 8, 2024
The barometer will now work again in iOS 17.4 and later. Because of privacy changes in iOS 17.4 barometric data are bow tied to Motion and Fitness. In order to make it work you have to enable Fitnesstracking in your devices privacy settings under "Motion and Fitness". After restarting Anchor Sentry you have to go there again and enable Anchor Sentry, which will now have its own entry there, to access the data.
