For the UTI identifier, enter a unique name using reverse-DNS format, similar to your app’s bundle ID. You’ll also want a description (shows in Finder Info windows), an extension, an icon, and specify conformance to public.data (assuming it’s a pure data file, not a package).
Done this. Finder recognises my file.

Not done. The exporting OS X app has no interest to read this file. It is purely for export.

The importing iOS app has both exported and imported UTI defined (not sure what is really needed).
But when the Document Types is only “my.private.uti”, then I am not asked to open in which app (good) but no data is received (bad).
If Document Types is only “public.data”, I get several apps to choose from. Choosing my app, the data is delivered.
The magic is to have 2 Document Types: “my.private.uti” + “public.data”. Now on receiving the data I get not asked to choose an app (as there is only one: mine) and the data arrives safely and is processed.
Bit confusing. But seems to be working now.
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
