IOS file association - default app to open certain file

Is there any way to make my application default to open certain file types(e.g from Mail app). In this moment it is opened by Preview by default and the application is listed in the Open in.... Howeever, preview has nothing to do with this file type and this application is the only one, that can handle this file type.

So I would like to make my application default for this file type, so Preview will not open it by default. Some google search has revealed that in Mac OSX there is key like LSIsAppleDefaultForType, that can make app default, but I can't find any option for IOS...

You have to associate you app with the file types you want it to open. You do this by adding some parameters to your Info.plist.
