From what I remember, the old clipboard API didn't distinguish between an app inspecting the clipboard content (dangerous) and merely checking if the clipboard contains data and what its type is (harmless).
- shuckles 6y agoAccessing pasteboard metadata doesn’t trigger the pill, though.
- CodesInChaos 6y agoThe way I understood it, many only apps triggered it because either the old API didn't offer a separate meta data access function, or they didn't know that they should use it.
- shuckles 6y agoThe types API has been available since iOS 3.0 which, IIRC, was when pasteboard was added to the system. Certainly there are apps which accessed the contents of pasteboard more than they should have because they weren't being punished for it.
