I have a Live Activity on iOS. Love it.
However, that Live Activity via remote hosting (I'm not building for other targets) shows the Live Activity on watchOS, macOS and CarPlay.
disfavoredLocations are for widgets, but I don't appear to have a method to limit or provide exclusive locations the live activity should appear.
Thank you for your post. I must admit that I am not entirely clear on your question regarding creating a Live Activity for a remote hosting environment. I believe I may have misunderstood your inquiry. Could you please provide me with additional details to clarify your objectives? As currently, Live Activities are designed primarily for iOS devices, and they appear on the Lock Screen and Control Center.
December 16, 2025 Updated guidance for all platforms, and added guidance for macOS and CarPlay. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/live-activities/
If you want to bring Live Activities to Apple Watch:
