Permission is unknown or URL pattern is malformed.

[rozuum app]

Hi everyone. I would like to ask for help with my extension manifest.

As my extension needs to use cookies, I added "cookies" permission along with the URL I would be setting cookie for. 

However no matter how I format the URL or even if I use <all_urls>, I get this error everytime the extension loads:

Permission 'http://www.example.com/' is unknown or URL pattern is malformed.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what could I be doing wrong?

Thank you!

Sounds like you're using ManifestV3 in which case the host permissions should be specified separately in "host_permissions".

See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/mv3-migration/#host-permissions

Here's an example from the link:

"permissions": [

  "tabs",

  "bookmarks"

],

"optional_permissions": [

  "unlimitedStorage"

],

"host_permissions": [

  "http://www.blogger.com/",

  "*://*/*"

],

@Simeon, could you retitle https://crbug.com/1154674 to `Prompt to use "host_permissions" when showing errors about URL patterns in ManifestV3 "permissions"` and assign to someone or make it available? If not, someone should probably open a new issue.
