title: Named UIPasteboard between apps?
body: <p>Is it possible to use a named UIPasteboard (ie, not the global one) to transfer data between two apps?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the apps are completely independent of each other, so have different bundle IDs from different vendors</li>
  <li>I'd like to use a named pasteboard, so the user's own content in the global pasteboard is not overwritten</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Apple's docs say:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Pasteboards may be public or private. Public pasteboards are called system pasteboards; private pasteboards are created by applications, and hence are called application pasteboards.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The implication is that a pasteboard can be either "global and public" or "named and private".</p>
  
  <p>I created two apps, with different bundle IDs, and seem to be able to pass stuff from one app to the other using a private named pasteboard. But is that just a feature of the iOS Simulator, or something which really supported but not well documented?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any insight!</p>
