Navigate to your project.

Select your app target and open "info" tab.

Now in "Document Types" add a document type with these settings:

```
Name: "whatever" or "image"

Types: public.image
```

Save this and compile the app. Now your app should show in open in... list from other apps.

Now follow apple Opening Supported File Types and continue your development
