Open in my app for (xlsx,ppt,pptx.docx) from the safari or mail not working

Question

I am using iOS 5.1 sdk for developing my app, but the "Open In" is not working for pptx, ppt, docx, xlsx. Can somebody give me the setting for info.plist? I am using com.microsoft.word.doc, com.microsoft.excel.xls, com.microsoft.powerpoint.ppt for the document type.

CFBundleTypeIconFiles CFBundleTypeName Microsoft PowerPoint presentation CFBundleTypeRole Viewer LSHandlerRank Alternate LSItemContentTypes com.microsoft.powerpoint.ppt com.microsoft.powerpoint.pptx CFBundleTypeIconFiles CFBundleTypeName Excel Document CFBundleTypeRole Viewer LSHandlerRank Alternate LSItemContentTypes com.microsoft.excel.xls com.microsoft.excel.xlsx

Show the complete `Document types` entry from your Info.plist. — rmaddy, Nov 05 '12 at 15:46
maddy u can refer the above code where i mentioned the UTI types. — user1800529, Nov 07 '12 at 06:35
Can you take a moment to format that text so it's readable? A little indenting and line wrapping will go a long way. — rmaddy, Nov 07 '12 at 06:37

NSArray *extensionArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"doc", @"docx", @"ppt", @"pptx", @"xls", @"xlsx",@"mp3",@"mp4",@"rft",@"rtf",@"pages",@"key",@"numbers",nil];

   for (int i=0; i<[extensionArray count]; i++) {
       NSString *fileExtension = [extensionArray objectAtIndex:i];
       NSString *utiString = (__bridge NSString *)UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag(kUTTagClassFilenameExtension,(__bridge CFStringRef)fileExtension,NULL);
       NSLog(@"Extension: %@ UTI:%@",fileExtension,utiString);
   }

We can use this code to print the proper UTI.

For fellow readers: Pages has an additional UTI of "com.apple.iwork.pages.sffpages". Details: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56429844/1691231 – FD_ Oct 08 '19 at 19:17
