Hello there, any thoughts on Android Q removing the features of observing the clipboard on background?
Hello Mark.
Mark M.
I am not terribly surprised that they made a change, though it is the sort of thing that they might have been able to handle with a permission
TonyTang
I just happened to come here when I was told that my subscription is to expire.
Then I noticed that your office hour is open
Mark M.
yes, this was rescheduled from Tuesday -- I do not normally hold one on Friday nights
(Friday nights where I am, anyway)
TonyTang
I tried to keep an eye on that. But so far they did not promise that a permission style will be added.
Mark M.
I cannot think of any case where something had been available, was banned, and then later became available again with a permission
TonyTang
I am concerned about this brutal removal as I will break my app AnyCopy.
Mark M.
yeah, that's why IMHO this should have been handled with a permission -- there are valid uses
but, they didn't ask for my opinion :-)
TonyTang
Another quick feedback for the subscription email is that the link is not working.
Mark M.
which link?
TonyTang
View paste
https://wares.commonsware.com/app/subscribe.
Mark M.
oh, yeah, I missed a path segment
I'll get that fixed -- thanks!
8:10 PM
TonyTang
I see. Cool. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for all the awesome work
Mark M.
thanks for the kind words!
TonyTang
You are just unbelievably productive with amazing quality of work.
See you around.
Mark M.
see you later!
