importing image attachments from mail into app

I am trying to import email attachments into my iphone app. I am placing code in my info.plist with uti etc. I have successfully imported audio attachments (caf, aifc, aif, m4a, and mp3). But I am not being successful at all with image files. I want to import jpg, jp2, pic, tif, and png files.

I have written this code in my info.plist for the audio files.

Code:

<dict>
		<key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
		<array>
			<string>com.apple.coreaudio-format</string>
		</array>
		<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
		<string>Viewer</string>
		<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
		<string>.caf</string>
		<key>LSHandlerRank</key>
		<string>Alternate</string>
	</dict>

as I said this works fine for all the audio types I want.

But when I enter this code

Code:

<dict>
		<key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
		<array>
			<string>public.png</string>
		</array>
		<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
		<string>Viewer</string>
		<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
		<string>.png</string>
		<key>LSHandlerRank</key>
		<string>Alternate</string>
	</dict>

for the images, nothing happens. The app icon doesn't show up in the modal view to tap and "open in" my app.

can anyone see any thing I am doing wrong here?

I appreciate any and all help.

 

I don't think this is true. As when you visit this Apple website

http://developer.apple.com/library/...and_utis_declare/understand_utis_declare.html

it specifically talks about image files

I have posted this question in several places so i hope To get an answer. Will let you know what I find out.

I don't see this as a valid option as I don't want to rename every image in my app and then how do you get other people that email you to use that file extension?

I tried to erase my app completely and do a restart and then reinstall but no go. I am going to try to try the LSHandlerRank as Owner and see what that does.

What did you put for your code in the app delegate. I put.

Code:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{
    
    NSURL *url = (NSURL *)[launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey];
    if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) { }

did you include any thing else in you info.plist.

Would like to know what you did to make this work. Are your images loaded into the email page?

Anyway thanks for the help and let me know.

 

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I just don't get why this works for audio but not images. I even took code out of app delegate and audio worked. I think I got image to load once when I used <key>UTImpprtedTypeDeclarations</key>
In plist. In mail the image didn't load but showed the attachment bar. I have tried to replicate but no go. Has anyone done this with an image successfully.
