Additional Information
When an application is embedded via iframe, certain browser security policies can restrict access to the clipboard API, which is what's being used within the Instant Apps sharing tool. This issue can be due to cross-origin restrictions (origin of parent is different than origin of embedded Instant App), permissions not granted to the iframe via allow attribute(allow='clipboard-write'), or a combination of both. From the perspective of Instant Apps in a cross-origin scenario, this is a known limitation since a parent iframe is inaccessible from the embedded Instant App.Workaround
Set permissions via iframe html attributes from the parent app. More info can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API#security_considerations
