I did some research but seems still no luck
when I added these xml in my info.plist
<key>UTImportedTypeDeclarations</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<string>public.data</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>my.custom.uti</string>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>PDF file</string>
</dict>
</array>
<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
<array>
<string>public.data</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>Icon.png</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Editor</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>my.custom.uti</string>
<key>LSHandlerRank</key>
<string>Alternate</string>
</dict>
</array>
and I send 3 email to myself.
1 - pdf file.
2 - png file.
3 - jpg and png file.
when i added these xmls, my app can shows in pdf and txt file, when clicked "open with..."
but what I want is open with in images.
anything goes wrong??
and I set UITTypeConformsTo = public.data suppose that it is a general value. So that my app can open all the formats(at least pdf and images) , but seems it dont.
I also try to copy the xml in this answer to my info.plist

In my app, I don't use key UTImportedTypeDeclarations. You can remove it and try with below:

It all depends on how "share" button in the host app is implemented. In iOS8, there are actually two different ways to do this: (1) using CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist, and (2) Application Extension. Some apps such as GMail & AVR support both (1) & (2). But Dropbox supports (2) only. That's why CFBundleDocumentTypes does not work in Dropbox anymore. Of course, things may change later.
