Add IOSWebDriverClient.getPasteboard()/.setPasteboard(), the low-level POST .../wda/getPasteboard and .../wda/setPasteboard calls (base64 content, contentType: "plaintext"), and IOSDevice.getClipboardText()/ .setClipboardText() as the public, ergonomic wrapper. There was previously no way to read a value that an app only exposes through a native "Copy" action (e.g. a share sheet's "Copy Link" for a generated invite/meeting link) -- WDA's own GET /source also cannot help there, since it 500s while a native share sheet (UIActivityViewController) is presented and its accessibility tree cannot be walked. The pasteboard is WDA-native and system-wide, so it works regardless. The request shape (POST + JSON body, not GET + query string) is cross-checked against the unmerged web-infra-dev#2628, which shipped passing unit tests against this exact endpoint contract. Test plan: - npx nx test ios (151 passed) - npx nx build ios

What
Adds pasteboard (system clipboard) read/write for iOS:
IOSWebDriverClient.getPasteboard()/.setPasteboard()— the low-levelPOST /session/:id/wda/getPasteboardand.../wda/setPasteboardcalls(base64 content,
contentType: "plaintext").IOSDevice.getClipboardText()/.setClipboardText()— the public,ergonomic wrapper.
Why
There was previously no way to read a value that an app exposes only through a
native "Copy" action — e.g. a share sheet's "Copy Link" for a generated
invite/meeting link. Such a value has no other on-screen representation to read,
and WDA's own
GET /sourcecannot help either: it returns 500 while a nativeshare sheet (
UIActivityViewController) is presented, because its accessibilitytree cannot be walked. The pasteboard is WDA-native and system-wide, so it works
regardless of what is on screen.
Notes
The request shape (POST + JSON body, not GET + query string) is cross-checked
against #2628, which was closed unmerged but shipped passing unit tests against
this exact endpoint contract.
New unit tests cover the base64 round-trip in both directions (including
multi-byte UTF-8), the empty-value response, rejection when the request itself
fails, and the two device-level wrappers.
