CFBundleDocumentTypes & UIFileSharingEnabled issues

Has anyone gotten UIFileSharingEnabled or CFBundleDocumentTypes to work? I added UIFileSharingEnabled as true to my plist and used Apple's example from the link below for CFBundleDocumentTypes, but can't seem to get it to work.

I don't see my app under file sharing in iTunes, and I do not get the option to open documents I registered in my app when I click on them in the mail.app

  • Carloe,

    Open your app-info.plist as a text file. The UIFileSharingEnabled setting should look like this:

    <key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key>
<true/>

    If you did what I did and added UIFileSharingEnabled in the plist and set its value to YES, your key will look like this:

    <key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key>
<string>YES</string>

    After I fixed that key, my app popped right up in the File Sharing section under the Apps tab of iTunes.

    Hope that fixes your problem too!
