PDF Documents

[sc-keyzo]

Hi

i'm trying to use your plugin to receive PDF documents from other iPad apps but not having any success. This is the command i use to enable the plugin:

cordova plugin add cc.fovea.cordova.openwith --variable IOS_URL_SCHEME=keyzoopenwith --variable IOS_UNIFORM_TYPE_IDENTIFIER=com.adobe.pdf

The cordova app compiles ok and runs on my iPad however, the app does not show up in the "Copy to" form of any other apps that handle PDF document.

If i reconfigure the plugin to look for public.image, the same as the example you provide, then all works ok.

Am i missing a configuration step somewhere or is this a bug?

thanks

Hi, same issue. @sc-keyzo did you made any progress?

@perelin @sc-keyzo I made this changes to ShareExtension-Info.plist to solve this issue

...
<key>NSExtensionAttributes</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key>
<string>
    SUBQUERY (
        extensionItems,
        $extensionItem,
            SUBQUERY (
                $extensionItem.attachments,
                $attachment,
                ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "com.adobe.pdf" OR
                ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.file-url" OR
                ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.url" OR
                ANY $attachment.registeredTypeIdentifiers UTI-CONFORMS-TO "public.image"
            ).@count == $extensionItem.attachments.@count
    ).@count == 1
	</string>
				...
</dict>
...

And use public.data as uti

Thanks, app is build again. But unfortunately I'm still not able to import a document inside my app. It's just not shown as possibility in share menu.

Here's my ShareExtension-Info.plist:

Do you @sc-keyzo or @axel012 have any ideas if there is something wrong? Do I forgot to configure something else? Btw UTI is set to: "IOS_UNIFORM_TYPE_IDENTIFIER": "public.content"
