iOS App Extensions
Give your apps a larger reach with extensions! In this series, you’ll learn about photo extension and today extensions (also known as widgets) introduced in iOS 8.

You’ll also learn some techniques and concepts that are common across all extensions, such as app groups, sharing data, and keeping the UI lightweight. This series has been updated for iOS 9/Swift 2.
