iOS: Registering for dynamic UTIs

I am developing an application that will be capable of handling multiple file types. To accomplish this, I have registered the UTIs corresponding to the file types in my info.plist file. However, there are a few file types, such as .pub & .indd, for which mdls generates a dynamic UTI (dyn.something).

My question is, how do I register for such types? As far as I can understand, as these are not file types defined by my appl开发者_运维百科ication (custom file types such as com.mycomp.myapp), I should not be required to export UTIs.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Akshay

I do not think this is possible for 3rd party apps. The URIs must be specified in the info.plist which is built into the bundle.

I have searched about this a lot. It seems that these file types are not supported by iOS (even Mac OS X).

You should check this Q&A page on how to export custom UTI type.

Even if files of such type might have system UTI type, you can register your own one by some unique name, e.g.

com.yourcompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}.x-pub
