fix(ios): declare txt and md in fileAssociations so Files offers Readest again - #5415
Merged
Conversation
…est again tauri-cli 2.11.0 (bumped in #5085) started generating the iOS CFBundleDocumentTypes from bundle.fileAssociations, replacing the hand-tuned array merged from src-tauri/Info.plist that carried the public.plain-text claim. fileAssociations listed every supported format except txt and md, so 0.11.20 builds stopped claiming plain text and the Files preview/share sheet dropped Readest for .txt files while EPUB/PDF kept working. Markdown rode on the same claim since its UTI conforms to public.plain-text, so .md was lost as well. Declaring txt with mimeType text/plain makes the generator emit LSItemContentTypes public.plain-text, restoring the claim; md gets an extension-based entry like epub, which iOS resolves through the extension to UTI mapping.

Problem
Regression in 0.11.20 (0.11.18 was fine): on iOS, previewing or sharing a
.txtfile from the Files app no longer offers Readest in the share sheet. EPUB and PDF were unaffected.Root cause
The app's plain-text claim used to come from the hand-tuned
CFBundleDocumentTypesinsrc-tauri/Info.plist(Text File/public.plain-text), merged into the generated iOSInfo.plistat build time.The tauri CLI bump 2.10.1 -> 2.11.4 (#5085) picked up tauri-cli 2.11.0's new mobile file associations feature (tauri-apps/tauri#14486): the CLI now generates
CFBundleDocumentTypesfrombundle.fileAssociationsand inserts the key after the custom-plist merge, replacing the hand-tuned array.fileAssociationslisted every supported format excepttxtandmd, so 0.11.20 builds silently stopped claimingpublic.plain-textand iOS dropped Readest as a handler for.txt. Markdown rode on the same claim (net.daringfireball.markdownconforms topublic.plain-text), so.mdwas lost as well.Fix
Declare
txtandmdinbundle.fileAssociations:txtwithtext/plain: tauri-utils maps it to thepublic.plain-textUTI and emitsLSItemContentTypes, restoring exactly the claim that was lost.mdwithtext/markdown: tauri-utils has no UTI mapping for markdown, so it gets an extension-based entry, the same shape that keeps EPUB working on iOS.Added a regression test asserting both entries (plus the seven pre-existing formats) stay in
fileAssociations, since the hand-tunedCFBundleDocumentTypesinsrc-tauri/Info.plistis dead on iOS for any key the CLI generates.Note:
fileAssociationsalso feeds the Windows installer registry and Linux mime entries, so desktop platforms now list Readest under Open With for.txt/.mdtoo (macOS already claimed plain text via the hand-tuned plist).Verification
