you can try to edit the Info.plist file hidden in the TeXShop.app bundle
find something like

		<dict>
			...
			<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
			<array>
				<string>pdf</string>
			</array>
			....
  		</dict>

then change to
		<dict>
			...
			<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
			<array>
				<string>pdf</string>
				<string>ai</string>
			</array>
			....
  		</dict>

save in UTF8 and relaunch TS.
