Copy to clipboard on Windows Phone 8.1 apps

How do you copy something to the clipboard in a Windows 8.1 apps? I couldn't find any API to do this? You could do it in the old Silverlight apps, but there seems to be no way now.

Is there any workaround? I want share some strings from one app which could be used by any other app.

There is no clipboard API for WP8.1 but it is available for Windows 8.1 apps. You need to either use a silverlight library which helps in setting content on clipboard or use share charm.
