Clearly there needs to be a way for the parcel tracking app to tell the OS, “I am looking for plain text strings that match this pattern.”
Which iOS and macOS already have, they are called data detectors. When the message arrives notifying you of the tracking number, you can select “track this parcel” from the context menu. No need for an app to snoop on the clipboard.
- jurip 6y agoI know what data detectors are, but I most certainly don't get any such tracking option for any of my messages containing tracking codes. I still need to copy those codes into Parcel, and find the automatic pasteboard reading useful. And UIPasteboard doesn't offer such an API, AFAICT.
