Select Apps to appear in 'Open In'

Hi All,

Maybe the issue isnt really the 10 limit.... i had the same problem and did all of the reboots...problem still existed....

but there is an issue that could be the problem...

"what are the rules around the developers that says "they want their program to appear in the "open in" list"

I found that when i deleted iBooks and FTPSprite that i suddenly has 12 apps in the "open in" list.

Yes, maybe there is a bug in the Apple code that wont allow us to say which apps we want to appear in the list, but who controls what the developers whom use the "open in" list incorrectly.

I concur, Apple should allow us to hide apps that we dont want to appear in the "open in" list.

Cheers.

Exactly. What he said. This is ridiculous on every level. Whatever happened to the company I have loved for more than 25 years? How could things like this not be addressed?

I just don't get it. Apple might be unwilling to fix something as important as choosing what apps you want to have interact with others? Tim, say it ain't so, Tim! Say it ain't so!

I will leave feedback both on the regular page and as a developer.

Found this thread while trying to fix my iDevice issue.

Can an one confirm this. Its fixed in iOS 6? My iPad has 18 spots in it currently.

My iphone is still at ver 5.xx (waiting on my iphone 5)

Has anyone found another work around for this problem?

This problem is still existed in ios 6, it is really bothered me. There are so many app associate with PDF file, my favorite PDF app always missed in the ios list. Hope apple can provide solution in next ios release!

I think you may be confused. In iOS 7, any app that's capable of handling the file will appear. It's no longer limited the way it was under earlier version.

You'd be better starting a new thread on this - this thread is several years old.

But - when you tap the Share button, you get a list across the window of apps to Share to - swipe left (so the list moves left) and you'll get more options including one labelled More... Tap that, and you should get a list from which you can switch apps on and off. Those that are ON appear on the first list

OK I've done that and checked a few other things.

In Notes, I still only get the same Message or Mail and no other options.

In some other Apps, eg Safari, I get a few more options but never Dropbox and no dropdown box to add other apps.

This is now a problem for me when it wasn't with my old iPad, which was stolen. When I restored to a new iPad from the cloud, I was missing quite a few apps and am left with far fewer than 10. Deleting one of these that no longer appears (neu.Annotate+) and reinstalling did nothing.

Strangely installin iBooks 2 not only made iBooks an option from Dropbox, but also Stanza which I hadn't checked. Go figure, but I guess when in doubt updating all the apps involved can't hurt.

Same problem no logic in what to delete, Apple please fix asap!!!!

This is silly. We really need a fix for this. Come on Apple. It really disrupts to business workflow. We should at least be able to toggle each apps "open in" setting in the settings screen.

It's fixed in iOS6. Once you choose "Open In" the initial set of eligible apps appear. Swipe that list to the left and more apps will appear.
