Hi there,

Can someone inside Google help me transfer the ownership of one of my
extensions to a different google account? I have created a Google Apps
domain and for security reasons and future development I would like to
use a very specific account for anything related to Google Chrome
Webstore. At the moment the extension is directly linked to my
personal account which makes it harder to maintain by other members of
my team.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. if this is not possible to be arranged then what are my options?
Shutdown the current extension and create a new one?

I have the exact same problem. I want to give other developers access
to edit the extension, but I don't want to give them access to my
personal account.

Please let me know if there's a way around this.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter,

There's no great solution at the moment, but you can make a separate google account, provision it for webstore publishing and share the credentials with other developers.

Yeh, but then I lose download count and existing audience. Kind of crazy that it isn't possible. There are so many things tied to my Google Account. Sharing the password is outrageous!

Thanks anyway,

Peter

I can also transfer your extension to the new account.
