Upload an updated version of "Extension" ERROR help

[Trent]

I can't upload an updated .zip and keep getting this error: The manifest has an invalid version: “1.0.1”. Please format the version as defined <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest/version" target="_blank"> here</a>.

The previous "version": was 1.0 and I've tried 2.0, 1.1, 1.0.1, and many others. What might be wrong? 

[Mike Rogers]

It could be something else overwriting your value, can you upload your manifest.json file?

[Trent Mervine]

Yes, I can only upload it if I make a brand new extension. I attached the manifest.json file here. Not sure what could be wrong.

Looks like your manifest has non-utf8 characters in it - specifically, "smart" quotes instead of regular quotes around the value for version. Here's the output from running "hexdump -C" on your manifest.json on a linux machine; the smart quotes are the sequences of hex bytes "e2 80 9c" and "e2 80 9d" - those should instead just be 22 for a regular quote mark.
