I am attempting to get my app to handle xmls for loading of data. I have successfully gotten the app to be registered, so for example, when I open an xml in an email I get my app as one of the "Open In..." options. Then when I go to my app, in the delegate I am implementing

Code: 
-(BOOL)application: openURL: sourceApplication: annotation
{
     //just for debugging
     NSString *urlString = [url description];
}

However, all of the variables in that method are nil. It is getting called because I am setting some breakpoints, but url, sourceapplication, annotation are all nil.

Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

If that's not your actual code, post your actual code.

If that is your actual code, you're missing the parameters.

I left out the parameters because I didn't feel like typing them, my apologies.

It ended up working after a while, with no change by me. Not sure what it was but it's possible it just took some time to fully register the app to accept the incoming file information...

Odd.

I experimented with adding VCard support so that my App could open saved locations from the Maps App. I could not get the Mail App to open my App for VCards. It did work with PDFs though (no reboots, no time -- it just worked).
