Making a stand-along Safari extension

Just a simple question here:

As far as I can tell, I must install my Safari extension with an app that I built in Xcode. OK.

What is not clear is what happens when the user quits my installing app. Does the extension remain available through Safari, or is it deleted?

Is it available the next time my user runs Safari, or does he/she have to run my installer app again?

The user only needs to run the app once - after that, the extension will always be available in Safari.

Additionally, if you distribute your app through the App Store, the user doesn't even need to run the app - just downloading it from the App Store is enough to have the extensions show up in Safari.
