" Open in app " option is not available on iOS 16.2 (Available with iOS 15) When Opening Custom Document Types that App is supporting.

Description: " Open in app " option is not available on iOS 16.2 (Available with iOS 15) When Opening Custom Document Types that App is supporting.It is working with pervious iOS version 14,15.


Steps to Repo:

1. Share your custom document over email (let's say extension type is .xyz)

2. Then Long Press this attachment in email App

3. Tap on share option

4. This will open the list of Apps that can handle the sharing.

5. Long press the App

6. Share sheet is showing only "Share with App"option but "Open in App" option is not available.


Note: My App support custom Document types and info.plist has all the relevant filed to support the custom documents. And this issue only comes with iOS 16. My app also uses "ShareExtension". If I remove "ShareExtesnion" from project , I can see new option that is"Copy to App" option.


Expected: "open in App" option should come for specific document types.

iPhone 12, iOS 16
