IOS 8 open image in my app from another apps

Question

I did some research but seems still no luck

when I added these xml in my info.plist

UTImportedTypeDeclarations
    

        

Answer 1

It all depends on how "share" button in the host app is implemented. In iOS8, there are actually two different ways to do this: (1) using CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist, and (2) Application Extension. Some apps such as GMail & AVR support both (1) & (2). But Dropbox supports (2) only. That's why CFBundleDocumentTypes does not work in Dropbox anymore. Of course, things may change later.

Answer 2

In my app, I don't use key UTImportedTypeDeclarations. You can remove it and try with below:

<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
        <string>Image</string>
        <key>LSHandlerRank</key>
        <string>Alternate</string>
        <key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
        <array>
            <string>public.image</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
