How do i associate excel file type (xlsx) with iPhone application

Question

Hi
i have managed to open .xls files form mail app by adding document type to the project build and set the Types field to \"com.microsoft.excel.xls\" (see screen shot).

I solved that by defining custom UTI as follows. Try to add these definitions into your info.plist. It works as expected.

UTExportedTypeDeclarations

    
        UTTypeDescription
        XLSX input table document
        UTTypeTagSpecification
        
            public.filename-extension
            xlsx
            public.mime-type
            application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
        
        UTTypeConformsTo
        
            public.data
        
        UTTypeIdentifier
        com.mydomain.myapplication.xlsx
    

....

CFBundleDocumentTypes


    
        CFBundleTypeName
        XLSX input table document
        LSHandlerRank
        Owner
        CFBundleTypeRole
        Editor
        LSItemContentTypes
        
            com.mydomain.myapplication.xlsx
