Copy to clipboard is not working in safari.
var parsedText = Pointer_stringify(text);
var textArea = document.createElement("textarea");
textArea.style.position = 'fixed';
textArea.style.top = 0;
textArea.style.left = 0;
textArea.style.width = '10em';
textArea.style.height = '10em';
textArea.style.padding = 0;
textArea.style.border = 'none';
textArea.style.outline = 'none';
textArea.style.boxShadow = 'none';
textArea.style.background = 'transparent';
textArea.value = parsedText;
document.body.appendChild(textArea);
textArea.focus();
textArea.select();
try {
var successful = document.execCommand('copy');
var msg = successful ? 'successful' : 'unsuccessful';
console.log('Copying text command was ' + msg);
} catch (err) {
console.log('Oops, unable to copy');
}
document.body.removeChild(textArea);
This code is working fine in Chrome and Firefox. Only in safari "document.execCommand('copy')" method always return false and content also not copy to clipboard.
Using Unity 2021.1.5f1.

You know this problem you should report it to Apple although I doubt they will give you an answer so they will deny everything, so better leave your code without safari; Chrome and Firefox are fine, they are the most used.
always remember "the truth is out there"
