Unlisted Apps

[Holiday India]

Is there the feature to have unlisted apps, like unlisted videos in youtube.

With self hosting, I could make sure that only users who have logged in to the website can download my app.

How to implement this with chrome web store?

Your two best options are to have everyone you want to see it be in a Google Group and only publish the extension to members of that group as describe in publishing to test accounts. Or publish the extension to the most obscure language possible. Then only users with their preferences set to that language should see it.

Both sound absolutely silly.

Especially given the new rules for publishing via store only... 

You should consider doing a distributive that requires overt installation. One click installs seem to be a vestige of a time gone by.

You are not required to publish in the Chrome Web Store. Developers who wish to publish from their own website can still do so. Their users will have to jump through an extra few steps to make sure drive-by-installations are less likely to happen.

If you mean making the install totally impossible for regular users, then yes.

"Download file, open extensions, drop it there"

Sounds easy to us, but not for most users.

You can build a native installer that installs extensions outside of the store, and you can also use Inline Installation, which installs directly from your site and just uses the CWS as a hosting mechanism.
