Check clipboard / pasteboard type [iOS]

[filiptronicek]

Describe the Feature

During WWDC 2020, Apple announced a feature in iOS 14, which alerts the user, if an app reads from the clipboard. This has caused a lot of problems and bad PR since, so I would suggest we implement the contains(pasteboard) API here.

It basically just checks the clipboard for a type of data, without that pesky notification.

Possible Implementations

The hardest thing about this would be the port, we could name the functions similarly.

E.g.:

Clipboard.hasURL() // => bool
Clipboard.hasText() // => bool

or

Clipboard.contains(String) // where String is one of the types

#56

Edit:

Clipboard.hasString() has been implemented in #73
Clipboard.hasURL() has been implemented in #78

Waiting for

• Clipboard.hasBool()
• Clipboard.hasImage()?

is there a way to make it detect a pattern? Something like Clipboard.hasPattern(\myPattern\)
