Question

I would like to get the text copied to clipboard when application launching.

I can use following text to get the available text from clipboard. But I need to use this value in a different viewcontroller. How can I pass this value to my viewcontroller?

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {

    NSLog([UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].string);

}

Declare and implement a method on your VC which you call from the app delegate upon becoming active:

@inferface ViewController: UIViewController {
   /* etc. */
}

- (void)handlePasteboardString:(NSString *)s;

@end

in your app delegate:

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)a
{
    [self.mainViewController handlePasteboardString:[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].string];
}
