Photoshop Version 22.5.1  
UXP Version 5.2.0

I want to use Clipboard API and trigger manifest version error  
so I switch “manifestVersion” from 4 to 5, but the Uncaught Error still exist  
change like:  
“manifestVersion”: 4, → “manifestVersion”: 5,

I have restart My PS & UXP, and remove&reload the plugin, quiet sure the ‘5’ version is taking effect

I am fresh in developping uxp plugin, forgive me, and how can I debug this question?

I found the solution in [alchemist/manifest.json at master · jardicc/alchemist · GitHub](https://github.com/jardicc/alchemist/blob/master/uxp/manifest.json#L14)

1. need to upgrade manifest.manifestVersion to 5
2. add requiredPermissions.clipboard config (pretty like chrome extension)

then it works!
