My CRX had the proper
html page
options.
html in it, the manifest declares it properly (it shows up as a link on the chrome://extensions page) but when I click that link, Chrome gives the error:
This webpage is not available
The webpage at chrome-extension://invalid/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
It says "invalid" but the app runs perfectly well (all the content scripts run, the background created a database and saved to it). Why would it show as invalid? Why doesn't it have the extensions' id?
Here's the manifest:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "MyAPP",
"description": "My App",
"version": "0.0.0.32",
"minimum_chrome_version": "27",
"offline_enabled": true,
"options_page": "

html",
"icons":
{
"16": "images/icon16.png",
"48": "images/icon48.png",
"128": "images/icon128.png"
},
"app":
{
"background":
{
"scripts":
[
"scripts/background.js"
]
}
},
"permissions":
[
"unlimitedStorage",
"fullscreen",
{
"fileSystem":
[
"write"
]
},
"background",
"<all_urls>",
"tabs"
]
}
Does it need to be declared in "web_accessible_resources"? Any idea what's wrong?
Update
Adding to "web_accessible_resources" does not fix the issue. I added everything on that page too.
update 2
It looks like it might be a Chrome bug for packaged apps. When I remove the "app" section in the manifest, it works! This is a bug since the Chrome app documentation states that apps can have
options pages: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/options.html
