Hi,

Interested too - more specifically for the iOS 7/8 simulators

I'm looking for this feature too. For Android/IOS both.

I'd like to be able to:

in my app (running on simulator) click the share button
click copy in the share targets
access the contents of the simulator clipboard so that I can examine it in my Java code

I can accomplish steps 1 and 2, but I need help with step 3. To get the simulator clipboard contents onto the real system keyboard, one needs to use the sim's copy function (cmd+C). How do I do that? How do I send keys to the sim itself, as opposed to my app?
