If your app is capable of opening specific types of files, you should register that support with the system. This allows other apps, through the iOS document interaction technology, to offer the user the option to hand off those files to your app.
To declare its support for file types, your app must include the CFBundleDocumentTypes key in its Info.plist property list file. (See Core Foundation Keys.) The system adds this information to a registry that other apps can access through a document interaction controller.
The CFBundleDocumentTypes key contains an array of dictionaries, each of which identifies information about a specific document type. A document type usually has a one-to-one correspondence with a particular file type. However, if your app treats more than one file type the same way, you can group those file types together to be treated by your app as a single document type. For example, if you have an old and new file format for your application's native document type, you could group both together in a single document type entry. This way, old and new files would appear to be the same document type and would be treated the same way.
CFBundleTypeName specifies the name of the document type.
CFBundleTypeIconFiles is an array of filenames for the image resources to use as the document's icon.
LSItemContentTypes contains an array of strings with the UTI types that represent the supported file types in this group.
From your app's perspective, a document is a file type (or file types) that the application supports and treats as a single entity. For example, an image processing application might treat different image file formats as different document types so that it can fine tune the behavior associated with each one. Conversely, a word processing application might not care about the underlying image formats and just manage all image formats using a single document type.
Listing 1 shows a sample XML snippet from the Info.plist of an app capable of opening a custom file type. The LSItemContentTypes key identifies the UTI associated with the file format and the CFBundleTypeIconFiles key points to the icon resources to use when displaying it.
For more information about the contents of the CFBundleDocumentTypes key, see the description of that key in Information Property List Key Reference.


For the last several years, I have had the great pleasure of seeing Nancy Baron's photographs featured in the Palm Springs Photo Festival's slide show, and last week attended the opening of her exhibition,The Good Life, Palm Springs, currently on display at the 825 Gallery/LAAA in Los Angeles. Nancy offers an insider's perspective of the high and the low life of desert living, and combines brilliant color with small nuances that make us want to start mixing the cocktails and getting our feet wet.
Born in Chicago, now living in Los Angeles and Palm Springs, Nancy has a background in documentary film making, and her work has been exhibited across the U.S, and published around the world.
I like to discover and document, without judgement, the exotic subculture next door, aiming to capture and celebrate the majesty in worlds that could easily be overlooked, seen as mundane, otherwise misunderstood.
In the time that Palm Springs has been my second home, I've found it to be exactly and nothing like what I expected it to be. Having ridden the waves of economic and cultural trends, the town offers a wide variety of lifestyle choices, not all of which are apparent to the occasional tourist. The idea of Palm Springs evokes a well-defined image internationally. These varied definitions are all accurate and, yet, this oasis of layered Americana is often misunderstood.
It's easy to dismiss the town as a frivolous playground for whomever one imagines its visitors or residents to be. The truth is, Palm Springs is a brilliant example of the American Dream; springing from nothing out of the desert sand, continually reinventing itself with hope, determination, and the belief that everyone is entitled to The Good Life.
