Is adding "storage" permission cause any disabling or warning prompt for the existing extension?

[Lu Xu]

Hi everyone,

My company has an extension which has a lot existing users. 

About 3 years ago, we added the "downloads" in the "permission" directly, and it caused the existing user's "unpleasant experience". Their extensions were disabled automatically and users needed to consent the permission

Now I would like to add "storage" permission. So I am wondering is the above case still applies today. If that is still true, I am afraid "optional_permission" is a better place

Hi, read this post: LINK

Alas, I linked to the wrong page in that other thread. I should have linked to the table of permissions with warnings on the Declare permissions and warn users page.

Anyway, storage doesn't require a user grant, so you should be fine, Lu.

Hi @Simeon,

Did I give a bad tip?  I had never noticed this api management method (getPermissionWarningsByManifest) but it seems to me that it does its job well.

Why are you saying you have linked the wrong page?
