In manifest must i write my key?

"To get a suitable key value, first install your extension from a .crx file (you may need to upload your extension or package it manually). Then, in your user data directory, look in the file Default/Extensions/<extensionId>/<versionString>/manifest.json. You will see the key value filled in there."

Hi Friend,
I'm having exactly the same problem. Made a very small update to my extension yesterday and now the extension has stop working when installing from the chrome Store (works locally)

To answer your question, no you don't need to include you Key into your manifest, unless you want to create the CRX package yourself. 

On my Side, I have tried rolling back and removing 9/10th of my code but the extension still won't install from the google chrome store.

Also tried to create a new extension based on; https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/examples/api/contentSettings.zip
 weirdly that's not working either (Mac OS and Zipped from Finder and Terminal)

Please ... help us.

I have found a fix - Go to Settings option in Google Chrome > Select "Show advanced settings..." > Under the "Downloads" Label, Change the download location to Desktop or anywhere else. That should do it. See these Images..
