Can't connect to Android Wearable Health Services

Question

I tried to read walking steps from Android Wear (Samsung Galaxy Watch 4), using this guide : https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/health-services/active.

This is part of my code :

val healthClient = HealthServices.getClient(this /*context*/)
        val measureClient = healthClient.measureClient
        lifecycleScope.launch {
            val capabilities = measureClient.capabilities.await()
            supportsStepCount =
                DataType.WALKING_STEPS  in capabilities.supportedDataTypesMeasure
        }

But I receive this exception :

Connection to service is not available for package 'com.google.android.wearable.healthservices' and action 'com.google.android.wearable.healthservices.MeasureClient'.

        at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:246)
        at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:67)

Note: There is a note in guide above to take permissions, but it did not mentioned which permissions. I tried ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION and BODY_SENSORS and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, but no success.

I had the same issue with my Galaxy Watch 4 and I found this in one of Google's sample and it fixed it for me

AndroidManifest:

<queries>
 <package android:name="com.google.android.wearable.healthservices" />
