So I recently shipped a document based application to the App Store with an unfortunate oversight: the UTI for the main document type was left blank, and wasn't exported. I had a name for it, but the identifier was straight up empty.
Everything still worked great, but then I went to add another file type to the mix in the next version. The new file type is simply xml (conforms to public.xml). I set that up and dropped it into the document. This is when I caught the oversight on the first document type's UTI. I entered an appropriate identifier for my main document type, and added it to my exported UTI list. Now when I try to open my document types from my application, they are grayed out in the open dialog. To recap, I released a document-based application with this: Document Types: 1.) Name: "My Document", Extension: "myext", Identifier: "" Exported UTIs: (none) Imported UTIs: (none) And now I have this: Document Types: 1.) Name: "My Document", Extension: "myext", Identifier: "com.mycompany.myext" 2.) Name: "My XML Document", Extension: "xml", Identifier: "public.xml" Exported UTIs: "com.mycompany.myext" Imported UTIs: "public.xml" However, I my main document type is grayed out in the open dialog now. I'm at a loss as to how file types are associated with applications, and how to fix this issue. I really want to clean this up, so what's the best way to do so? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
