# UIScene.ActivationRequestOptions

An object that contains information you want the system to use when activating the session associated with a scene.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class ActivationRequestOptions
```

## Overview

Overview Create a UIScene.ActivationRequestOptions object before you activate or create a scene using the activateSceneSession(for:errorHandler:) (Swift) or activateSceneSessionForRequest:errorHandler: (Objective-C) method of UIApplication.
