I want to pass my variable uid from the app1 to the app2  
From my app1 I save locally on the memory of my iphone the variable ![Screenshot 2021-04-10 205757](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/7/37d62e01a67db94fd74887bf1d6d8b254f7acb34.png) ![Screenshot 2021-04-10 205613](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/c/2ccafe73f809a5261325be4d79e018d93aa45297.png)

Than I want to retreive in my App2 the stored users/uid

But the value is null ,I thing normal because to use the same variable name I have to initialise it

![Screenshot 2021-04-10 210409](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/e/cee200f15568c99abef4667baafa18fc0e60582f.png)

How can I pass my uid from the app1 to the app2 ?

You would have to use cloud storage for this. Firebase can do this.
