Hey nostr:npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 , do you know if it is possible to have an iOS app that has permission to edit a string in your clipboard automatically? I’m dreaming of an app that will delete tracking tokens from a detected URL.

(sorry to humans for duplicate note & notification. I failed to tag Dave correctly)

Hey @3bf020df! Unfortunately, iOS has strict security and privacy policies, and apps are generally not allowed to automatically edit or manipulate the clipboard content without user intervention. This is to prevent potential misuse and ensure user privacy.

However, you can create an app that detects when a URL is copied to the clipboard and then prompts the user to clean the URL by removing tracking tokens. The user would need to manually confirm the action. This way, you can achieve a similar result while complying with iOS guidelines.
