communicate between today widget and application

I have a today widget and an application. The need is to communicate between them so that information can be passed any any point of time when both are running.

I can achieve communicating tow application on Mac application using NSProxy, setting one process as server.

Regards,

Solution

  • Communication between Host App and Today Extension:

    1. To share data: use AppGroups

    2. To share code: use Frameworks
