Added a permission required for accessing the getData() API.

Access Level

Public API

Reason for Change

To use a custom component to access the pasteboard in the background, the application must request ohos.permission.READ_PASTEBOARD.

Change Impact

The change is not compatible with earlier versions. You are advised to use new APIs.

Before change: The ohos.permission.READ_PASTEBOARD permission is not verified when services access pasteboard data.

After change: Without ohos.permission.READ_PASTEBOARD, services are intercepted when accessing pasteboard data using insecure components.
