In my app's today extension, I want to get some text from the main app. I tried using NSUserDefault and Notification, nothing I could get. I don't want to copy the same lengthy code from the main app, so how could I do? Thanks!

Enabled App groups? How you are accessing NSUserDefault? – Anil Varghese Aug 04 '15 at 07:16

No other way. This is the only way to share data between App & extension – Anil Varghese Aug 04 '15 at 07:32

1if you can get the data from extension ,i mean if it is from a server, you can add the the server controller class to the extension target. – Anil Varghese Aug 04 '15 at 07:35

Create Apps Groups Under Targets->Capabilities as shown in below screenshot,it should be unique
Now u can store info NSUserDefaults,but u have to use different methods for storing info with app groups name.Below i have given an example
NSUserDefaults *sharedDefault= [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.DigitalAnniversaries"]
[sharedDefault setValue:@"3" forKey:@"notification"]

If you enrolled Apple Developer program, the app group is a good way,or build a new target to share the data.
