Manifest V2 and Chrome Web Store

[Kshitij Rana]

Hello all,

We are currently working on a Chrome extension that uses manifest V2 and need to publish it to the Chrome Web Store sometime this month. I came across this warning on Chrome Developers website that claims manifest V2 extensions cannot be published anymore on the Chrome Web Store.

To check if it allows, I tried uploading it from the Web Store's Developer Dashboard and it is letting me create a draft. I'm not sure if anywhere beyond that point, the extension will be rejected by the system (manifest is checked while uploading the extension).

Just to know the latest update on this, given the recent extension in V2 deprecation timeline, is it possible that we can still publish a manifest V2 extension through the Chrome Web Store?

Thank you,
Kshitij Rana

Hello Kshitij,

You can not publish a new mv2 extension. It will not be allowed to go public, either automatically or during the manual review process. 

Is there any capability that you are unclear on how to implement in mv3?
