Using phone sensors for step tracking requires the following additional permissions:
Foreground Execution Permission: Required for real-time and accurate step tracking.
Notification Access Permission (optional): Used solely to prevent step tracking from stopping unexpectedly. This permission is never used for other purposes.
If this permission is not granted, step tracking may stop. We recommend either running the app periodically or enabling the permission for uninterrupted tracking.
