Chrome Extension users cannot use the extension after an update, till they re-install it

[Kolade Joseph]

So I worked on an already live chrome extension, and after making my updates and publishing yesterday. Some users had issues opening it. So it just shows a small white card and nothing else till it is re-installed completely. Any help or advice regarding this error, Thanks anyone

There's a bug in the internal implementation of service worker registration when updating extensions, mostly fixed in Chrome 101. If those users already have this version of Chrome, it would mean the fix is incomplete.

Sorry, Forgot to mention that i still use Manifest v2. Could it still be the same reason cause I believe the service workers are used in the manifest v3, not in v2

It can be a different bug in Chrome or a bug in your code that manifests randomly.

Ohh, seen the fix. Corrected some things in the code. Thanks
