Anyone else have any ideas on what we should do at this point?

Ah, thanks, I didn't catch that one.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't have any effect :/ (Logged off,
re-logged just in case)


As for the ???? it was more a test than anything and will be removed.

Is it enough to just change the plist like this, or should I recompile
the whole application just in case?

For one, "CFBundleTypeExtentions" ought to be "CFBundleTypeExtensions".
Also, I'm not sure how happy the system will be with a
CFBundleSignature of "????" (unless you've simply obfuscated that for
the email).
