# APActivationPayload

Information that’s passed to an App Clip on launch.

```
class APActivationPayload
```

## Overview

When users launch an App Clip, the platform passes an activation payload to the App Clip as part of an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSUserActivity> object. When the App Clip receives the payload, confirm the user’s physical location at the time of the invocation.

For more information, see [Responding to invocations](/documentation/AppClip/responding-to-invocations).

## Topics

### Confirming a person’s physical location
