HarmonyOS allows building distributed apps like a cross-device clipboard app that can run on both phone and tablet.
The project setup involves creating a new project in DevEco Studio, adding necessary permissions to the config file, and setting up the clipboard logic.
The UI is built using ArkTS, where users can enter text, share it across devices, and view the shared text. Testing cross-device sync requires two HarmonyOS devices connected over Wi-Fi.
Common errors like undefined kvStore, text not syncing, permission issues, and duplicate storeId errors are addressed with solutions for each.
