In addition to the aforementioned keychain sharing: How to share keychain data between iOS applications , if you involved a server, you could use the server as a mediator to exchange information between the two sandboxes.

It is also possible to have one application send another file to another application (although this results in a copy from one sandbox to the other) via registered mime types: How do I associate file types with an iPhone application?

You can also share information via URL handlers. http://mobileorchard.com/apple-approved-iphone-inter-process-communication/

iPhone apps are sandboxed. You can't access any other app's documents folder. Not even your own ones. You can share keychains between your apps or you can open other apps with an argument or a document. That's about it.
