Copy text to clipboard through safari and read that clipboard data in iOS App

Question

Facing problem with the following scenario. Before posting in stack overflow, I spent several hours behind this. Scenario

Step 1: Via Safari (or other any browser) User will browse a page (i.e. www.abcdef.com) and from that page safari will copy text to iOS clipboard (via user on touch event on copy button)

Step 2: iOS Application will be launched and that iOS application will get/read clipboard data (which was saved/written by safari).

Is it possible? and if how? If not possible can you share reason behind that?

Answer 1

Yes you can do this,here is an example of that

UIPasteboard *pasteboard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];
if (pasteboard.string != nil) {
    // Do something with the contents...
}
