Hi there,

I submitted my extension and only selected "USA" in the distribution section. It is now listed on the chrome store but users from other countries can see it as well - is there a different step I need to take to region lock the download to USA?

Would appreciate any information.

Thanks,

Rory

After changing the 'Distribution' setting, do you click the 'save draft' and 'submit' button?

There should be nothing else to do.

Hey Jackie,

Yes, it's submitted with this setting selected:

However, if I send the chrome store link to a friend in Australia and he clicks it, he can still see the listing on the chrome store and install it.

I don't know how they are restricted (based on IP? hidden in search results?) or if there is a bug. You can submit a support request (it may not get a reply soon).
