Associate an iphone app for kml and kmz google earth files

Question

I'm trying to write an iOS app that should be able to open kml and kmz files from google earth. I have added the following lines in the cfg file , but should be wrong ( I can't see my application listed when I try to open a kml file from another app, i.e. Mail) :

    <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
    <array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleTypeMIMETypes</key>
        <array>
            <string>application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml</string>
        </array>
        <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
        <array>
            <string>kml</string>
        </array>
        <key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
        <string>Google Kml</string>
        <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
        <string>Viewer</string>
        <key>LSHandlerRank</key>
        <string>Alternate</string>
    </dict>
</array>

Please help me to find the error...
