The aim is to read some values from a today widget (owned by Apple). Yes, using private API's is against Apple's guidelines but I'm just testing a thing.

For realtime communication between widget and main app you can use MMWormHole.
For sharing data you can use shared NSUserDefaults.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. Accessing values from a Today widget from Apple would be the same from accessing values from a full app made by Apple. Which is simply impossible.
Otherwise you could access any values from any app at any point in time. That would cause a lot of security issues.
Even if it is one simple value you want to access, the premise is the same.
