An option that indicates the system hasn’t shown the authorization prompt to the person.

```
case undetermined
```

## Discussion

An `.undetermined` authorization result indicates that the person hasn’t seen the authorization prompt that asks for permission to forward iOS system notifications and Live Activities to your accessory. If they see the authorization prompt and dismiss it, the [`AccessoryAuthorizationResult`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/AccessoryAuthorizationResult) changes to [`AccessoryAuthorizationResult.deny`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/AccessoryAuthorizationResult/deny).

For more information requesting permission to forward Live Activities to your accessory, see [Receiving Live Activity updates and alerts on an accessory](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/receiving-live-activities-on-an-accessory).
