In my UI test, I have a test where I am using the UIPasteboard to throw the input around. Just before I use it, I store the current value of the pasteboard into a local temporary variable like so: let currentClipboard = UIPasteboard.general.string ?? "" and it will be restored again at the end of the test like so: UIPasteboard.general.string = currentClipboard. However, sometimes the let currentClipboard = UIPasteboard.general.string ?? "" line takes forever to complete, if at all. I've waited like 1-2 minutes and it still stuck there. I know this because I actually added a breakpoint right below that line and it was never called. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with my code? Thanks.

I've faced the same issue in the simulator only. If you're testing in simulator then just reset the simulator and it'll start working fine. And I didn't find this type of issue in the real device.

IC. Thanks for the answer. You are right, it only happens in simulator because it's only for UITesting. But it still happens even though I've restarted simulator so many times. – Bawenang Rukmoko Pardian Putra Jan 07 '21 at 08:20

@BawenangRukmokoPardianPutra You can workaround with reset/format instead of restart. – Kishan Barmawala Jun 19 '23 at 06:48
