How can you use iOS 16's UIPasteControl with React Native? - ios

iOS 16 introduces UIPasteControl as a way of avoiding the paste permission dialog appearing when an app programmatically accesses the clipboard contents.
To enable UIPasteControl, its target needs to be set to an object that conforms to UIPasteConfigurationSupporting, so typically a UIResponder like UIViewController or UIView. Then you would ensure the object's pasteConfiguration is set to allow the types you want to paste.
I've got a React Native app so there are no native iOS UIView etc. type objects being used directly.
If, for example, a paste button was to be added to a React Native view, then how can that be hooked up so that its using UIPasteControl?

If we consider the latest version of react native, there might we not see the functionality for UIPasteControl as per new iOS versions.
for this, I guess we should create our implementation and export the functionality to react-native to accomplish this requirement.
If you have hands-on experience with iOS native development and custom native UI views implementation in React Native then you can check out the following blog about the UIPasteControl implementation in native, to implement it natively and export it to React Native.

On IOS using Objective-C and/or React Native how can you get a notification in your app when someone set an Accessibility feature?

I would like to know when a user sets an Accessibility feature to on. Currently there's only a check during startup but if it's set to on/off after the application starts then there's no knowledge of the change in the application.
Is there an event or callback for IOS that'll let the application know when the setting changes?
This application also uses React Native, C++, and Objective-C.

How to use the "native" UI look and feel with React Native?

I find it interesting to use React Native, but currently I just have one pain point:
The native look and feel of e.g. a iOS List.
So if I create a SwiftUI App in XCode and add a List with some text it looks like an native iOS list. But If I create a React Native app with an FlatList and then run in on my iPhone, it just looks like a list with absolutly no style.
Is there and plugin or whatever to get the "native" iOS 14 look and feel?

How to create an in-app-purchase Native Module in React Native

I am trying to implementing an in-app-purchase mechanism in my React Native app for iOS.
But I couldn't found official supported modules about it, and I don't want to use any third party modules.
So I found this article How do you add an in-app purchase to an iOS application? on Stack overflow.
Those answers were written in Swift or Objective-C, and I know little about Swift.
After I read about this article https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-modules-ios.
I am thinking about making a method to request a purchase using Swift or Objective-C, and expose it to my React native project as a Native Module. After sending a request from a Button inside React Native View, I want to send the result to my React Native project using RCTEventEmitter from the Swift or Objective-C code.
Is it a good idea and how I can implement this?

Is their an equivalent of react natives "Hot Reloading" for native iOS Simulator development?

I'm wondering if there is a way to see UI changes in an iOS application without having to restart the device or simulator. I know in react native since they use Javascript you're able to make a change to the background colour of a view and the background would reflect that change without having to restart the simulator. So I'm thinking since react native just converts javascript into native app code this might be possible in Native Development? Yes no maybe?
Doing normal native iOS development in the typical way -- no.
But, if you reproduce what ReactNative is doing (defining a data format for UI, loading it, and then wiring it up dynamically), then you can re-create it.
You might want to look into SwiftUI, which gives you a way to preview in Xcode without running the entire app.
Without that, if you use modules for all your UI code, you could incorporate a playground and see live changes as you code as well.

Allow user to change App Icon in React Native

Apple specifies that users can change their icon to give a more personalised experience. See docs here:
https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/icons-and-images/app-icon/#user-selectable-app-icons
My question is regarding using this functionality in React Native. Building an app in React Native is it possible to access this setAlternateIconName method and provide the user with alternate app icons? Does React Native provide a nice way to interact with this IOS method?
I am currently trying to build this out. This package seems designed to do what we both are looking for, but I haven't tried on anything that I have actually deployed yet.
https://github.com/skb1129/react-native-change-icon
use can use this module react-native-alternate-icons, it allows to access to setAlternateIconName method
