iOS 16 - driver.get_clipboard_text() gets stuck

hi there,

I’m using:

• Python3
• 2.0.0-beta.42
• xcuitest@4.10.0
• relaxed-caps@1.0.0-beta.11
• Xcode 14 Beta 5

Problem: My tests get stuck when it tries to execute driver.get_clipboard_text() - that’s because of this new iOS 16 behavior https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/06/ios-16-permission-copy-paste-between-apps/

Is there a workaround for this? A simple solution will be to make driver.get_clipboard_text() fast fail with exception if it cannot read the clipboard data so we can catch the exception and then tap on ‘Allow Paste’.

for example:

    try:
        clipboard_text = self.driver.get_clipboard_text()
    except ClipboardException:
        self.driver.find_element_by_accessibility_id('Allow Paste')

Not even sure what’s best. Thank You!

The patch has been published in xcuitest driver v 4.10.2

hi @mykola-mokhnach,

I’ve replaced FBPasteboard.m in /Users/tester/.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent/WebDriverAgentLib/Utilities

then disabled usePrebuiltWDA and derivedDataPath

then ran the test and I think we’re good now 😃 the dialog gets automatically dismissed by pressing ‘Allow Paste’ , it also reads the data from the clipboard.

can we have this tweak in master? forgot to mention that it’s working fine without 'autoAcceptAlerts': True

Thanks!
