Adding my iphone app as a content menu in the device

Question

I need to install my iPhone app as shortcut.
If a user long-touches an image in an email attachment, this option should appear along with “Print”, “Save to camera roll”, “Facebook”, “Twitter” etc.
Can anyone help me with this? Any help would be appreciated.

If you want your app to open the file of type .png,.jpeg or .pg, you must list Document type Key in Info.plist of your file as shown below:

<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
            <string>files</string>
            <key>LSHandlerRank</key>
            <string>Owner</string>
            <key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
            <array>
                <string>.png</string>
                <string>.jpegf</string>
                <string>.jpg</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>

Where should I add this in the info.plist. Inside the information property list? – Sangie Jul 30 '13 at 07:24
