Creates an object you use to manage Live Activity forwarding for your accessory.

```
init(_ handlerFactory: @escaping @Sendable () -> any LiveActivityForwarding.AccessoryLiveActivitiesHandler)
```

## Parameters

A closure that creates one new [`LiveActivityForwarding.AccessoryLiveActivitiesHandler`](/documentation/AccessoryLiveActivities/LiveActivityForwarding/AccessoryLiveActivitiesHandler) instance for each new Live Activity session.

## Overview

The system calls the handler factory closure once for each Live Activity session and creates a new corresponding handler instance that receives
updates for the life cycle of the Live Activity session.
