UIPasteboard String Origin Data?

72 views Asked by AudioBubble At 17 June 2015 at 20:55

Is there a way to retrieve which app the contents of the clipboard on iOS was copied from?

So "http://google.com" was copied from Safari, etc.

No, there isn't. It would probably violate the 'sandbox' principle which is implemented throughout iOS.

The only similar feature I know of is UIApplicationDelegate's method - application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation: where the source application is explicitly passed as a parameter.
