How to add an Extension(APPS) to cros

[13k...@gmail.com]

Hi all, 

 

       I want to add my extension(crx) to chromium os before building image. I follow the instructions https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/how-the-extension-system-works/default-apps 。But it doesn't work.

I found BUILD.gn 

```

if(is_chromeos)

  source+=[

........

]

else 

{

   source+=[

      default_apps.cc,

      default_apps.h

   ]
}

```

So how to add extensions(including apps) to chromium os？

what do you mean "it doesn't work" ?  please describe in detail what you tried.

remember, as that doc says, the default apps are only automatically installed when logging in for the first time.  after that, users are free to delete things and they won't be re-installed.

I put my crx file in  chrome/browser/resources/default_apps then I add my crx info to external_extensions.json and chrome/BUILD.gn .  I want to see my crx show in chromium os app_list, but it doesn't.

Hi Mike, 

 https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/how-the-extension-system-works/default-apps  is only available for GYP, but the latest Chromium is using GN and  what is mentioned in  
./chrome/browser/resources/default_apps/external_extensions.json can't be found in build/common.gypi, like 'default_apps_list' and 'default_apps_list_linux_dest'.  Do you know if there are instructions for GN?

Thanks!

since you're building Chromium (the browser) directly, you probably want to ask on chromi...@chromium.org instead
