iOS Extensions
This document discusses iOS app extensions. It defines app extensions as functionality that extends beyond an app but is not an app itself. It runs separately from the app in an isolated address space. The document outlines different types of app extensions like today extensions, share extensions, action extensions, photo editing extensions, custom keyboards, and document providers. It also explains how app extensions work, their life cycle, and how they communicate with the host app. The document provides examples and references for further reading on app extensions.
