Associate files type with my Iphone App

Question

I'm trying to associate files type with my application (pdf and doc). For pdf, it's Ok. I read this subject: How do I associate file types with an iPhone application?

and it works perfectly. But I tried to add the .doc type but it doesn't works.

EDIT: It works with this code (PDF, WORD and EXCEL):

Here is my app-info.plist:

<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleTypeIconFiles</key>
        <array>

        </array>
        <key>CFBundleTypeName</key>

        </array>
        <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
        <dict>
            <key>public.filename-extension</key>
            <array>
                <string>xls</string>
            </array>
            <key>public.mime-type</key>
            <string>application/vnd.ms-excel</string>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</array>

Hope it helps someone :)

Best regards,

You should use `UTImportedTypeDeclarations` instead since you're not the owner of those types. Refer to Microsoft Word's `Info.plist` contents for a good example. — adib, Dec 27 '15 at 15:57
