My Chrome extension rejected because didn't comply with our Program Policies. [Help]

[Ahmed Bouhuolia]

 My Chrome extension doesn't use any permissions or Manifest has no any permissions even though the extension was rejected. I want help getting the extension approved.

Hi there,

Have you read this troubleshooting help page? That explains the most common reason why the Chrome extension update is rejected with the answer on how you can solve this.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/troubleshooting/

And follow the principles of the Chrome Web Store when creating a Chrome extension. That is Be Safe, Be Honest, and Be Honest:

Thanks,

Yeah, I read these documents many times, especially the first one, I don't see myself violated one of them, and the error that got is so general.

Hi Ahmed,

What exactly does the email say? Because it must provide you with "Violation Reference ID" and "Violation". Can you enter the text of your rejected email here?

Also, is your Chrome extension available on GitHub (Open-Source)?

Thanks,

Stefan vd

- I didn't even receive an email, I've searched a lot about it even in the span but nothing was found. that thing confused me.
- Yeah the repo of the extension is public, check it out https://github.com/abouolia/time-progress-bar-extension

Hi Ahmed,

Contact Chrome Web Store One Stop Support at https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/one_stop_support?hl=en and tell them that you have not received any reason why your Chrome extension was rejected.

I want to check your Chrome extension code. However, the GitHub link is error 404.

Thanks,

Stefan vd

I'm sorry the repo was private, now you can check it out -> https://github.com/abouolia/time-progress-bar-extension

Hi Ahmed,

Now I see your Chrome extension content on GitHub. 

The first point, try to delete unnecessary files. Such as "background.html". Because that file is not used anywhere and Manifest V3 uses a service worker file.
Can you also describe your Chrome extension better in your manifest.json file. I read this:

"name": "Time Progress",
"short_name": "Time Progress",
"description": "Time Progress - This is your life.",

Why do you need the title again in the description field?

To learn about how to write a good description text, see this official Chrome Web Store developer page:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/best_listing/#item-description

Thanks,

Stefan vd

I appreciate your notes, I'll fix that, and submit it again. thanks again.
