Come on, @jxw1102 @grishka! I would suggest using Prettier, set up a project standard, save the files and submit the changes to be merged. It should be done within 20 Minutes. But this PR is over one year old. Guys…

Because sending something that doesn't visibly end up anywhere on the receiving side is confusing UX.

AirDrop on Mac does accept text from iPhones but it saves it as a .txt file. I can do this just to get this whole thing over with.

If we present a button that says "Copy" in the notification, that would be a less confusing UX.

What if you accidentally dismiss that notification?

Don't you have that UX Issue already with files you share?

So, Apple is wrong in terms of UX by enabling Continuity, which is enabling shared clipboard without any notification? If I copy or send anything, it's by action. The better UX could be, that I trust a device and the files will copy to a specific folder, or a notification button to accept and download it. But I would rather not click a button to accept the text I copied seconds ago – That is a bad UX.

The question I would ask: Do you want to copy a functionality with its limitations or UX fails, or could we do it better? I want to copy 60 % of the clipboard and 40 % of files from Android to Mac. Therefore, currently, this app is 60 % useless for me. But it has potential. Fingers cross to use the original in the future. If not, there a forks.

Apple is able to identify which devices are yours and which aren't, with 100% reliability.
