Discussion
Use this method to put an object—such as an NSString, NSArray, NSDictionary, NSDate, NSNumber, UIImage, or NSURL object—on the pasteboard. (For images, you can also use the image or images properties; for all other data, such as raw binary data, use the setData(_:forPasteboardType:) method.) This method writes the object as the first item in the pasteboard. Calling this method replaces any items currently in the pasteboard.
