My problem is very similar to this entry: Mac OS X file association works, but file icon not changed.
I'm developing an app with Qt 5.3 that handles files of a specific extension (say .xyz). I only have OS X Yosemite for testing and I managed to get the file association working (application opens when double-clicking a file), but the icon (say xyz.icns which is present in the application.app Resource folder) hasn't changed (still the default white sheet of paper, visible from the desktop and from Finder). Here is the info.plist content related to the file association:
<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Editor</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>xyz.icns</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>xyz</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>My App Extension</string>
<key>LSHandlerRank</key>
<string>Owner</string>
</dict>
</array>
I refreshed the Launch Service that seemed to solve the problem for those who where in my situation, and I effectively see only one entry of my application in the lsregister dump:

I also rebooted but no new result. I wonder what I am missing... Any clues ? Thanks !
