For anyone wondering how in the world do you save and get values then look at this code.

In your regular app add this to save whatever you like in your *.m file.

NSUserDefaults *shared = [[NSUserDefaults alloc]initWithSuiteName:@"group.yourcompanyname.TodayExtensionSharingDefaults"];

    //save dic
    [shared setObject:dictionary2 forKey:@"dicForTodayWidget"];

    [shared setObject:tempArray2 forKey:@"arrayForTodayWidget"];

    //save some value

    [shared synchronize];

In your today widget under TodayViewController.m in viewDidLoad add this.

NSUserDefaults *shared = [[NSUserDefaults alloc]initWithSuiteName:@"group.yourcompanyname.TodayExtensionSharingDefaults"];

    //get dic
    NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [shared objectForKey:@"dicForTodayWidget"];
