Hi,
As Michael told its complete correct, and as you were searching for
gauranteed delivery i'll provide you with some information

In that extension it provides you with the delivery of the message is done
or not. with some status. So with that you can track the delivery.

And Applications is always ON, the connection with the server will always
be connected until you close the application in other sense until you
interrupt the connectivity with the server. Because usually XMPP Framework
sends the ping to the server at regular intervals if there is any update on
the server side or client side.

And I'm not expert but trying to become expert.
