import image email attachment into app

So I don't know if this is possible. On every discussion forum I have found noone who has done this.

I have even copy and pasted Apple's own code

into my info.plist and it doesn't work.

Apparently even Apple doesn't know how to get this to work.

I put the above code into my apps info.plist although I did change <key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key> to <key>UTImportTypeDeclarations</key>

and then in the app delegate I am putting

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application

openURL:(NSURL *)url

sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication

annotation:(id)annotation {

if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) {

// do something with the URL

}

returnYES;

}

and then this;

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{

NSURL *url = (NSURL *)[launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsURLKey];

if (url != nil && [url isFileURL]) {

//it has been suggested that I put [self.viewcontroller handleOpenURL:url];

or self.window.rootViewController hanleOpenURL:url];

but neither work so I left them out.

}

returnYES;

}

I have also use the code:

The audio files work great but I cannot get the image files to work. I have tried .png, .tif, .pct, and .jp2 int the latter code. Nothing seems to work.

I don't know what I am doing wrong and I am finding it very frustrating without any help.

Thank you for any assistance you can render.

I have found that even when I remove all code pertaining to this in the app delegate, when I hold on an audio attachment in my mail my apps icon shows up and then when I tap on that icon my app is brought to the forground and the audio file is copied to my apps documents directory in the "Inbox" folder. But No matter what I do so far this does not happen for the image files. Really all I want to do is have the image files copied to Inbox so the app can access them in various viewControllers and copy them when needed to other document folders. I know that the user could save them to the photo library and then access them from there but this seems slightly less cumbersome (if it works) and just another avenue.

So Michael any insights as to what I need to do.

Thanks love your icon

Thanks etresoft

I don't really want to be able to view the image in my app just copy it over to the "Inbox". Is this possible?
