How to pass data from Customer App to Admin App

Hello all, I have been developing an app that allows users to add items to a shopping cart. When each item is added to their cart, it is loaded into a plist. I also have an admin app that will receive the customer's cart once they have placed their order. I'm wondering what the best way is to pass the data in the plist from the customer app to the admin app. Any help would be great!

I think the standard approach is a custom URL scheme if your data is short enough to fit in a URL (not sure what limits, if any, there are on the length). There's also the keychain with the same sort of limit - it's meant for small bits of info like passwords.


I believe as of iOS 8 you can now have a shared app container so apps from the same developer can share data. One app could write a file and the other app could read it. That, in combination with the URL scheme, may be a more flexible approach.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the info!
