    copied!<p>I want to be able to have my app called from the email app when the users selects to open an attachment with a custom URL. It seems that IOS does recognize the registration but still does not call the application delegate to open the URL.</p> <p>I've registered my app to support a custom URL by adding this to info.plist;</p> <pre><code>&lt;key&gt;UTExportedTypeDeclarations&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;UTTypeConformsTo&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.plain-text&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.text&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;UTTypeDescription&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;TecNotes Data File&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;UTTypeIdentifier&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.bringardner.textext&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;UTTypeTagSpecification&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;public.filename-extension&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;testext&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;public.mime-type&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;application/vnd.testext+xml&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is the code for the application delegate;</p> <pre><code>- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { // Override point for customization after application launch. if( launchOptions == nil) { NSLog(@"nil options"); } else { NSLog(@"Have options"); NSObject *obj = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey]; NSLog(@"url? %@",obj); } return YES; } -(BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url { NSLog(@"handle %@",url); return YES; } - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation { NSLog(@"open %@",url); return YES; } -(BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { NSLog(@"willFinishLaunchingWithOptions "); return YES; } </code></pre> <p>Prior to adding the entries in info.plist I get the following message from the email app; <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0QETU.png" alt="email error"> After adding entries to info.plist the email application opens a blank page but none of the application delegate methods are called. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Up9a8.png" alt="After image"> </p> <p>I've seen several similar questions but nothing I've attempted has solved the problem. </p>
