How can I check does my ios8 custom keyboard extension have open access?

Question

In my ios 8 keyboard extension I wanna check did user gave my keyboard open access or not. But I couldn't find any API. Swiftkey and other custom keyboards somehow solve that problem

I think this is an easier way (no need to create a container):

- (BOOL) isOpenAccessGranted
{
    if ([UIPasteboard generalPasteboard])
        return YES;

    return NO;
}

There is no API, but if you have app group access enabled, you can try to check if you are able to read/write to the folder. It should give you a permission error access is not enabled.

Use this,

-(BOOL)isOpenAccessGranted
{
      NSFileManager *filemanager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
      NSString *containerPath = [[filemanager containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"/***YOUR APP GROUP ID***/"] path];

      NSError *err;

      [filemanager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:containerPath error:&err];

      if(err != nil)
      {
           NSLog(@"Full Access: Off");
           return NO;
      }

      NSLog(@"Full Access On");
      return YES;
}

Pasteboard API changed in iOS10 beta

Swift:

func isOpenAccessGranted() -> Bool {
    let originalString = UIPasteboard.general.string
    UIPasteboard.general.string = "TEST"
    if UIPasteboard.general.hasStrings {
        UIPasteboard.general.string = originalString
        return true
    }else{
        return false
    }
}

You can use this function to check your custom keyboard extension have open access or not:

func isOpenAccessGranted() -> Bool{
    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
       let originalString = UIPasteboard.general.string
       UIPasteboard.general.string = "Sour LeangChhean"

       if UIPasteboard.general.hasStrings {

           UIPasteboard.general.string = originalString ?? ""
           return true
       }else{
           UIPasteboard.general.string = ""
           return false
       }
  } else {
    // Fallback on earlier versions
       if UIPasteboard.general.isKind(of: UIPasteboard.self) {
           return true
       }else{
           return false
       }
   }
}
