In iOS 8, when develop a custom keyboard and set RequestsOpenAccess property to YES in info.plist, there is a toggle button at Settings-> Add New Keyboard named "Allow Full Access". How does the custom keyboard code know that the user enabled or disabled this toggle?

UPDATE 08/23/2017 for iOS 10 compatibility:

func isOpenAccessGranted() -> Bool{     UIPasteboard.general.string = "CHECK"     return UIPasteboard.general.hasStrings } 

iOS 8:

-(BOOL)isOpenAccessGranted{    return [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard]; } 

Please note that the simulator will always tell you that you have Full Access so for this to work properly you need to run it from a device.
