Question or issue on macOS:
In my iPhone app, I have many ASCII arts which I need to insert into the database.
I am using the simulator and pasting the textpic in the textview to insert the ASCII art to database.
Here the clipboard of simulator once pastes the art properly but when I copy another art then too it pastes the previous art into textview.

You can simulate the 'pinch to zoom' gesture of the iPhone in Apple's Aspen Simulator by holding down the Option key while clicking the mouse in the area you wish to pinch. This brings up a pair of dots that represent your fingertips. Currently 3.82 / 5. You rated: 5 / 5 (11 votes cast).

Solution no. 1:
I was getting frustrated with copy and paste in the simulator and couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Results were similar to what you describe: copy and paste would sometimes paste the same value as I had copied before, but not what I just copied to the clipboard.
I finally realized that the simulator has it’s own clipboard, separate from the main OS X clipboard.
You use the touch-based copy and paste commands to paste into your application from the simulator clipboard.
You can use the standard OS X copy paste shortcuts (Command-X,C,V) to paste from the system clipboard into the simulator clipboard.
So to copy and paste from Chrome (for example), you select the text in Chrome, Command-C to copy. Then switch to the simulator, Command-V to paste into the simulator clipboard. Then in your application, you simulate a touch in the textfield to bring up the paste option, then simulate a touch to the paste button to paste the simulator clipboard contents into the app.
The menu options do the same thing as the keyboard shortcuts–copy/paste between the system clipboard and the simulator keyboard.
Now that I figured it out, I actually like it much better than if the simulator clipboard was automatically tied to the OS X clipboard.
Solution no. 2:
From Xcode 9.0 or above:
Open simulator
Click on “Edit” from top menus
Enable -> “Automatically Sync Pasteboard”
If already enable then disable it and enable again.
Long press to paste your text i.e copied

Below Xcode 9.0
- Copy text from anywhere
- Paste on the simulator by command (command + v), it will show nothing
- Then press (command + shift + v)
it works for me
Solution no. 3:
⌘ +
C – Copies the contents of the iOS clipboard to OS X. This works for both text and images.
⌘ + ⇧ + C – Copies the selected text (or whatever else responds to the copy: selector in your app) to the iOS clipboard. This one does not appear in the menu.
⌘ + ⌃ + C – Copies a screenshot of the iOS app (without the simulator’s chrome) to the OS X clipboard (Use ⌘ + S to save it to a file on the Desktop instead).
⌘ + V – Copies the contents of the OS X clipboard over to iOS, but doesn’t paste it. Again, this works for both text and images.
⌘ + ⌃ + V – Pastes the OS X clipboard in the iOS app, but leaves the clipboard unchanged. This does not work with images.

Check out the text property of the UITextView. Simply load your textpic into an NSString, and set that string to be the text property of the TextView.
Solution no. 7:
You can copy the content from mac using ⌘ + ⇧ + C and paste in browser url using ⌘ + V .
It’s working for me.
Solution no. 8:
As a last step try to restart Xcode and iOS simulatorMenu -> Hardware -> Restart

Got the solution:
From iPhone Simulator menu.
Third option: Restore Content and Settings.
You will lose all the apps installed in the simulator along with the settings.
