How to list file associations on macOS Sierra?

I am having an issue where the file association for a packed file generated by our application is not correctly associated with our application in macOS Sierra 10.12.5. This is only happening for one client, and it definitely seems like the issue is with maintaining file associations on their system.

For this application, the files generated by the application appear as a directory instead of a single file in Finder, so there is no way to manually link the file to the Info panel.

I know that before you could find and manually manage file associations in com.apple.LaunchServices.plist, but that doesn't seem to exist in Sierra. Does anyone know how to list file associations in Sierra or manually add an association for a packed file in Sierra?

The lsregister command can be used to list file associations in Sierra:



/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
