Your solution of explicitly adding NGC 7023 under CatalogNumber seems to have resolved the issue.
.skylist file
SkyObject=BeginObject
ObjectID=4,-1,-1
CatalogNumber=Iris Nebula
CatalogNumber=vdB 139
CatalogNumber=H IV-74
CatalogNumber=Bernes 39
Importing .skylist file to SkySafari 7 pro does not recognize vdB 139, H IV-74 or Bernes 39.
SkySafari does find NGC 7023.
I changed Slice Master to NGC 7023. Imported a new list to SkySafari and it worked.
SkyObject=BeginObject
ObjectID=4,-1,-1
CatalogNumber=Iris Nebula
CatalogNumber=NGC 7023
CatalogNumber=H IV-74
CatalogNumber=Bernes 39
To ensure compatibility, always include NGC 7023 in .skylist files when referencing the Iris Nebula, while still keeping alternative catalog names for reference.
