    No, that is not possible.

    All iOS apps are sandboxed (at least on non-jailbroken devices), and while keychain data can be shared (between Apps that share their Bundle Seed ID), doing the same for file-based data is currently not possible.

    What you CAN do is pass data to other apps by exchanging them via a server or call a URL scheme that another app has registered. Apple says:

    Using a URL-based syntax, you can access data from the Web, as well as
    pass information to other installed applications, such as Mail,
    iTunes, and YouTube. Your own application can declare a unique URL
    scheme, allowing any application to collaborate and share data with
    your app.
