# AccessoryAuthorizationResult

Responses to the Live Activity forwarding permission prompt.

```
enum AccessoryAuthorizationResult
```

## Overview

Call [`authorization(forAccessory:)`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/LiveActivityForwarding/authorization(forAccessory:)) to check the current forwarding authorization for an accessory without
showing any UI. If the result is `.undetermined`, ask people for their permission to forward iOS system notifications and Live Activities to your accessory. For more information, see [Receiving Live Activity updates and alerts on an accessory](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/receiving-live-activities-on-an-accessory).

To ask if someone wants to update their current selection – for example, if they previously denied Live Activity forwarding – call [`presentAuthorizationSheet(forAccessory:)`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/LiveActivityForwarding/presentAuthorizationSheet(forAccessory:)).

## Topics
