If you want to go down the sockets path, there are clear examples on using NSStream, sockets and Bonjour to send info between apps that are on the same Mac. Check out the PictureSharing sample and other NSStream samples that are included in the Xcode help.
All I had to do to get this to work was to change the name of the folder that specified the pictures transmitted and pictures directory on lines 163 and 173 in ServerAppDelegate.m file. The project is a 2 app workspace that sends a picture from one app to another on the same Mac. It might be overkill, but it does the trick.
