Application supports iTunes file sharing not working in iOS 10

I have some strange issue with "Application supports iTunes file sharing" aka "UIFileSharingEnabled".

I have a few applications that need iTunes file sharing support and all of them were actually working on older iOS versions until I upgraded some devices to iOS 10.

I've been trying to find some references about this but no success so far.

The only thing I was able to find is that I should include the "CFBundleDisplayName" and I did, although I am not sure I see the reason behind this. However, no luck.

Here's the info.plist file for one of the apps:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>

        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
    </array>
    <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
    <false/>
 </dict>
</plist>

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? All apps work on devices with iOS 9.3 and worked on iOS 8.

Solution

  • Strange, I installed Xcode 8.1 and iOS 10.1 and now it works. It would seem the iTunes version I had installed was not compatible with iOS 10.
