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.
