# predicateForObjects(with:)

Returns a predicate that matches the objects with the specified  universally unique identifiers (UUIDs).

## Declaration

```swift
class func predicateForObjects(with UUIDs: Set<UUID>) -> NSPredicate
```

## Parameters

- `UUIDs`: The set of UUIDs to be matched.

## Return Value

Return Value A predicate that matches the specified objects based on their UUIDs.

## Discussion

Discussion HealthKit assigns a UUID to each object when it is saved to the HealthKit store. HealthKit uses these IDs to uniquely identify objects from the store. Use this convenience method to create a predicate that checks an object’s UUID against the provided set of UUIDs. The following sample uses both the convenience method and a predicate format string to create equivalent predicates.
