HKAnchoredQuery update handler not working properly - ios

Question

I wrote a code to get heart rate values from Health kit. The code is working fine but when the new heart values are updated in Health kit. I have to come to main screen and then multitask my app to get the updated results. What my aim is to get the updated result on my app without reopening or multitasking it, please help as I am new to iOS development.
My code:-
-(void)get_heartRates
{
//code to get the updated heart beats
HKSampleType *sampleType =
[HKObjectType quantityTypeForIdentifier:HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRate];
HKObserverQuery *query =
[[HKObserverQuery alloc]
initWithSampleType:sampleType
predicate:nil
updateHandler:^(HKObserverQuery *query,
HKObserverQueryCompletionHandler completionHandler,
NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"error occured while setting observer. %# ",
error.localizedDescription);
abort();
}
// Take whatever steps are necessary to update your app's data and UI
// This may involve executing other queries
[self executeAnchoredQuery];
// If you have subscribed for background updates you must call the completion handler here.
// completionHandler();
}];
[self.healthStore executeQuery:query];
}
-(void)executeAnchoredQuery
{
NSDate *startDate1 = [NSDate distantPast];
NSPredicate *Predicate = [HKQuery predicateForSamplesWithStartDate:startDate1 endDate:[NSDate date] options:HKQueryOptionStrictEndDate];
HKSampleType *object = [HKSampleType quantityTypeForIdentifier:HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRate];
sum_Of_HeartRates=0.0;
HKAnchoredObjectQuery *heartQuery = [[HKAnchoredObjectQuery alloc] initWithType:object predicate:Predicate anchor:self.lastAnchor limit:0 resultsHandler:^(HKAnchoredObjectQuery *query, NSArray<HKSample *> *sampleObjects, NSArray<HKDeletedObject *> *deletedObjects, HKQueryAnchor *newAnchor, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Sample counts:%ld",sampleObjects.count);
for(int i=0;i<(int)sampleObjects.count;i++)
{
HKQuantitySample *sample = (HKQuantitySample *)[sampleObjects objectAtIndex:i];
HKQuantity *quantity = sample.quantity;
double bpm_Values= [quantity doubleValueForUnit:[HKUnit unitFromString:#"count/min"]];
sum_Of_HeartRates=sum_Of_HeartRates+bpm_Values;
}
avg_heartBeats=sum_Of_HeartRates/(int)sampleObjects.count;
}];
[heartQuery setUpdateHandler:^(HKAnchoredObjectQuery *query, NSArray<HKSample *> *SampleArray, NSArray<HKDeletedObject *> *deletedObjects, HKQueryAnchor *Anchor, NSError *error) {
HKQuantitySample *sample = (HKQuantitySample *)[SampleArray objectAtIndex:0];
HKQuantity *quantity = sample.quantity;
new_Updated_Data =[quantity doubleValueForUnit:[HKUnit unitFromString:#"count/min"]];
NSLog(#"new quantity:%f",new_Updated_Data);
}];
[self.healthStore executeQuery:heartQuery];
NSLog(#"updated data %f",new_Updated_Data);
NSLog(#"%f", avg_heartBeats);
}

See if the following code could help you...
HKSampleType *sampleType =
[HKObjectType quantityTypeForIdentifier:HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeartRate];
HKObserverQuery *query =
[[HKObserverQuery alloc]
initWithSampleType:sampleType
predicate:nil
updateHandler:^(HKObserverQuery *query,
HKObserverQueryCompletionHandler completionHandler,
NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"error occured while setting observer. %# ",
error.localizedDescription);
abort();
}
// Take whatever steps are necessary to update your app's data and UI
// This may involve executing other queries
[self executeAnchoredQuery];
// If you have subscribed for background updates you must call the completion handler here.
// completionHandler();
}];
[self.healthStore executeQuery:query];
and then the function where you write you anchoredQuery code, this may give you an idea of the code flow :
-(void)executeAnchoredQuery
{
HKSampleType *sampleType =
[HKObjectType quantityTypeForIdentifier:HKQuantityTypeIdentifierStepCount];
HKAnchoredObjectQuery *query =
[[HKAnchoredObjectQuery alloc]
initWithType:sampleType
predicate:nil
anchor:self.anchor
limit:HKObjectQueryNoLimit
resultsHandler:^(HKAnchoredObjectQuery * _Nonnull query,
NSArray<__kindof HKSample *> * _Nullable sampleObjects,
NSArray<HKDeletedObject *> * _Nullable deletedObjects,
HKQueryAnchor * _Nullable newAnchor,
NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error != nil) {
// Add proper error handling here...
NSLog(#"*** Unable to query for step counts: %# ***",
error.localizedDescription);
abort();
}
// Process the results...
self.anchor = newAnchor;
for (HKQuantitySample *sample in sampleObjects) {
[self addStepCountSample:sample];
}
for (HKDeletedObject *sample in deletedObjects) {
[self removeStepCountSample:sample];
}
NSLog(#"Done!");
}];
[self.healthStore executeQuery:query];
}
