Extensions question

Hi All,

If you are using an extension ... lets say evernote. Does evernote have to be running?

There is no direct communication between an app extension and its containing app; typically, the containing app isn’t even running while a contained extension is running. An app extension’s containing app and the host app don’t communicate at all.

In a typical request/response transaction, the system opens an app extension on behalf of a host app, conveying data in an extension context provided by the host. The extension displays a user interface, performs some work, and, if appropriate for the extension’s purpose, returns data to the host.

Thanks for the information. That's the way I would think it works. However, there are some extensions I use (wunderlist, and evernote) that don't appear to be working properly.
