Hi
i have managed to open .xls files form mail app by adding document type to the project build and set the Types field to "com.microsoft.excel.xls" (see screen shot).
I want to do the same with xlsx files but can't do it. I tried to add "com.microsoft.excel.xlsx" but it didn't work
I solved that by defining custom UTI as follows. Try to add these definitions into your info.plist. It works as expected.
<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>XLSX input table document</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<string>xlsx</string>
<key>public.mime-type</key>
<string>application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet</string>
</dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<string>public.data</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>com.mydomain.myapplication.xlsx</string>
</dict>
</array>
....
<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>

<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>XLSX input table document</string>
<key>LSHandlerRank</key>
