Access iOS app documents directory from OS X

I'm working on an iOS app that creates some files and saves it in its documents directory. It would be really helpful for this app if I could create an OS X app that could access that apps documents directory as well as the pictures on the device. I know it's possible because of this app, but I can't seem to find a way to implement it. The iOS app does need to be approved by apple, but the desktop app doesn't. With these apps I am targeting non-jailbroken iOS 5 devices and OS X Lion. Any ideas on how I could do this?

A few other solutions I am considering:

  1. upload the apps documents directory to iCloud and then download it on the desktop
  2. upload to dropbox for auto syncing
  3. make the desktop app into a server and upload from the app to the desktop over the network

Those are all backup solutions, but it would be great if I could do this without having to depend on the network.
