This sounds wrong.
First, do NOT define the same UTI identifier in both the Imported UTIs and Exported UTIs section of the plist. Note that “import” and “export” here don’t refer to the documents or data, but to the UTI itself. An exported UTI is one that the app owns/defines, and the Exported UTI definition *is* the definition. An imported UTI is one that’s owned/defined by another app, but this app *uses*, and provides details in case the owner is not installed. In your case, you want to export the definition, because your app owns the custom UTI. However, I doubt that this in itself is causing any strange behavior, assuming the import and export definition are identical.
Second, the idea that your custom UTI can trigger your iOS app, but not supply it with data is bizarre. It actually sounds like there is something wrong with one of your definitions, as if conformance to public.data isn’t specified in the Exported UTI on iOS.
Are you following all the guidelines laid out in https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/Inter-AppCommunication/Inter-AppCommunication.html under heading "Supporting AirDrop” and subheading "Receiving Files and Data Sent to Your App”?
