Today's Extension communicate with Main App

so I am able to share data using App Groups but I was wondering if it is possible to update the data from Today's extension.

So in my iOS app I have a set of data that gets data from Firebase and updates the App group

Now my Today's extension can retrieve the App group data only if the iOS app has been opened.

I am trying to figure out a way to call the iOS app from Today's extension to update the data because the iOS has a method that calls Firebase which updates the App Group.

Is this even possible?

Solution

  • You can't communicate directly with your main app as you want. You can basically do two things:

    • Open your main app from your extension
    • Pass data through your shared container
