How to copy string to clipboard

Question

How do you copy text to the clipboard in xcode? Currently, I am using the following code:

UIPasteboard *pasteboard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];
        [pasteboard setString:shareString];

When I try to paste this into another one of the simulator apps, I end up pasting the entire view controller code. ??? Thanks in advance!

In Swift 3.0 you can copy text on PasteBoard and paste anywhere. In short, if you want to copy text programmatically then below code will help you.

let pasteBoard = UIPasteboard.general
pasteBoard.string = "copy the text"
