How to make an app as default opener for particular file extension

154 views Asked by At

I am making an app in python named cipherc on mac osx 10.9 This app opens a file type of extension “.secure

Now, in local system, for already present .secure file, its default file opener is some different xyz app. So, how can I make my app cipherc as default file opener for all .secure file extension present in system, as soon as I installs cipherc app.

My info.plist is:
