Autoupdating extensiond

[Juan Antonio Carrillo Navarro]

Hi, I am developing an extension for Chrome and I am having a problem.

Here is my "ChromeUpdates.xml" file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<gupdate xmlns='http://www.google.com/update2/response'
protocol='2.0'>
<app appid='hjfakkpgpfbdpbibcmghdnpjcpmlnpbm'>
<updatecheck codebase='http://dl.dropbox.com/u/XXXXXXXX/
PicasaWebForGooglePlus/PicasaWebForGooglePlus.crx' version='1.0.2' />
</app>
</gupdate>

And here is my "manifest.json" file:

{
"name": "PicasaWeb for Google+",
"version": "1.0.2",
"background_page": "background.html",
"options_page": "opciones.html",
"description": "Google+",
"icons": { "16": "icono16.png","48": "icono48.png","128":
"icono128.png" },
"browser_action": {"default_icon": "icono128.png"},
"content_scripts": [{ "matches": ["http://*/*"], "js":
["jquery.min.js"] }],
"permissions": ["tabs", "http://*/", "https://plus.google.com/" ],
"update_url": "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/XXXXXXXX/ChromeUpdates.xml"
}

I can not get working that, i dont know what is the problem.
The <app appid='hjfakkpgpfbdpbibcmghdnpjcpmlnpbm'> is the code that
Chrome return me when i load my extension...

Could anybody help my with that?

Thanks in advanced and sorry, my english isn`t good.

I have not worked with DropBox, but does it show a page when you go to that URL, or does it simply show the "Save as..." dialog of the browser (try it in incognito mode, perhaps the behavior is different when you are not signed in to DropBox, like the extension updater)?

If it shows a page, that must be the problem.

Insert updated version in corresponding tag

 <updatecheck codebase='http://dl.dropbox.com/u/XXXXXXXX/
PicasaWebForGooglePlus/PicasaWebForGooglePlus.crx' version='1.0.2' />

and Update MIME type at web server end for XML based file.

 <updatecheck codebase='http://dl.dropbox.com/u/XXXXXXXX/
PicasaWebForGooglePlus/PicasaWebForGooglePlus.crx' version='1.0.2' />

and Update MIME type at web server end for XML an CRX file extension.
Otherwise web server won't allow access to that these files.

1.The version mentioned in "manifest.json" i.e.'1.0.2'  and   ChromeUpdates.xml i.e .  1.0.2 should not be same and  ChromeUpdates.xml   must contain incremented version.

2. On a webserver where u have kept ChromeUpdates.xml and new .crx file, In webservers  MIME type add  XML an CRX file type extension.

Otherwise web server won't allow access to that these files.

Ex. If application is hosted on IIS 7.5 then Add these MIME type in web server setting.

Simple test :

Try to access  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/XXXXXXXX%20PicasaWebForGooglePlus/PicasaWebForGooglePlus.crx (with correct URL) then It must ask for download.

Yes kanaskar Of course.
The piece of code that i have paste is the online file not the local
file.

The example ilustrate that i specified the same version in the XML
file and the Crx file to download.

Thanks
