Hello,

I'm lost. I'm uploading my first Chrome Web Store app and my adventure stops at the first step. I've created all the needed files and specialy manifest.json et the 128px icon and put in a zip file (created on Mac OS 10.9.1)  but when I upload the file, the system returns me an error, in French :

Importer une extension ou une application (fichier .zip)

archive.zip (Server rejected)
Réessayer
Une erreur s'est produite : Échec du traitement de votre article.

Le package ne contient aucun fichier manifeste. Veuillez placer le fichier manifest.json dans le répertoire racine du package zip.

This means "The package contains no manifest file" but the zip file contains really the manifest.json (tested many times).

Is it a temporary error from Google (i see "Server rejected") or am I doing something wrong ?

The manifest.json is :

{
  "name": "Feeling In Motion",
  "description": "Feeling In Motion est une plateforme d’évaluation et de pilotage de son équilibre et de sa qualité de vie.",
  "version": "0.0.0.1",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "icons": {
    "128": "icon_128.png"
  },
  "app": {
    "urls": [
    ],
    "launch": {
      "web_url": "http://feelinginmotion.com/"
    }
  }
}

Thanks for your help !

Solved ! My manifest.json file was in fact " manifest.json" (with a blank space in first character...).
