Updating the shared state

Extensions set a shared state by creating an event data that the extensions save by calling setSharedEventState from the ACPExtensionApi (iOS) / ExtensionApi (Android) interface. This interface is available through the ACPExtension (iOS) / Extension (Android) parent class. Extensions can only set their own state, so the name that is used is the same as your extension (for example, com.exampleCompany.extension). This name is also the name that other extensions need to use when requesting your shared state.
