I have published a Chrome Extension and when I click on the extension I am shown a 404 error.

I can find the extension within the Chrome store but again when I click on it I am given an error telling me to refresh the chrome store??

The happened to me twice now, this means it will be or is Taken Down and wasn't published.

The first time it happened to me it was published but only got 404 error, after a while like 10 minutes later
the Published turned into Taken Down.

You need to open a Ticket with the id of the Extension and wait a day or so, perhaps it's published then after
manual review.

Also once it happened you can expect it to happen every time from now on and on every update you publish
and to punish you further it seems that once it happened you won't have a delete options for items from then
on for what ever reason. Nice isn't it?

Best Regards

Wow they like to make it nice and easy for you. I have published 2 extensions and it has happened on both now. 

Where do I open a ticket?

Thanks

Yeah, just happened to me again now, updated an Item to 1.2 and boom Taken Down.


Currently it looks like an Lottery for me, you know, you upload two binary identical Items one as Public and one as Unlisted
and then one gets Taken Down while the other is published or vice versa.

And then if you update them the Lottery starts over, will it by Taken Down or Published? Well, may the RNG-Gods be with you.

They also at least for me never ever provided any information why it happens, even after they manually review and then published
i never got any reason or instructions what was wrong.
