Thank you for reporting this issue.

I can confirm you that VictronConnect does not paste the content of your clipboard and of course doesn't make use of it.

What could be happening is that the libraries we use to build VictronConnect have a bug that triggers this warning. But this is just a guess, we first need to confirm the issue by being able to reproduce it in our test phones.

I'll post details once we know more.
