My extension got rejected (by the Chrome Web Store) !
Registering and updating chrome extensions on the Chrome Web Store has become quite a headache since June 2018. Causes for rejection have obviously evolved in the past year and Google people are far from eager to provide the changes, this on purpose. Even worse some of the existing extensions get ousted from the store with obscure reasons, leaving thousands of users in the dark. Without betraying much of the secrets here is a list of questions you should consider before submitting a new package based on my experience: A/ My extension is installed since years, undergone tens of upgrades and suddenly gets rejected ?? answer: review rules have changed, it has nothing to do with the little or big changes you have brought with the new version. Stop scratching your head and audit your addon based on the new rules. B/ Got the rejection message “Spam and Placement in the Store” answer: there are a few reasons for that and you should review: in your manifest file
