I can't get my head around how to solve this. I am trying to publish my first hosted app in Chrome Web Store. However, I get this error when trying to publish:

This hosted web app's manifest file contains one or more malformed app urls.
No path found in app url http://ranits.eu.

Here's my manifest.json:

{
  "name": "Ranits Invoice Template",
  "description": "Create invoices for free!",
  "version": "0.52",
  "app": {
    "urls": [
      "http://ranits.eu"
    ],
    "launch": {
      "web_url": "http://ranits.eu/"
    }
  },
  "icons": {
    "128": "icon_128.png"
  },
  "manifest_version": 2
}

Does adding a slash to the urls value fix the error?

"urls": [
    ],

Just a quick note, you are using manifest_version:2 for an app which is not currently supported by the CWS and those apps don't work in anything other than Chrome.

If you are making a packaged app, use the old manifest version. (i.e, remove the attribute).

That's not quite right. Manifest version and app type are independent. Hosted apps and legacy packaged apps can still use manifest version 2 (in this case, the app in question is a hosted app).
