## AI overview

Codename One added support for blocking copy and paste on iOS text components, extending a feature previously limited to Android without requiring code changes. The article also discusses compiler and generated-code optimizations intended to reduce overhead and potentially shorten build times, while noting that some changes were temporarily reverted and impacts vary by code path.

## Source excerpt

I discussed both of these last week but we've made some progress that warrants a dedicated post. We added a new feature that allows you to block copy & paste on a text component either globally or on a case by case basis. This is helpful for highly sensitive applications. This feature was previously restricted to Android but is now available to iOS as well with no change required to your code.
