Extension rejected and now in pending review state for more than 1 week now, please help.

[Dev]

Hi Team,

My extension is there in the store from long almost 1year and it used to get approved every time just in 1-2hrs or max 1day.

But this time it has taken more than a week now. 

First it got rejected saying that 

Use of Permissions:

• Violation reference ID: Purple Potassium
• Violation: Requesting but not using the following permission(s):
  • activeTab

activeTab permission is required for my extension and I have given the justification for it. This permission was there from the beginning. I have not changed any permission in this release.

Now I have submitted extension again with more justification but still it is under review from last 5days.

Why activeTab permission is required.

This permission is required to generate the all types of Selectors like XPath from the current open tab. It is also required to get the access of currently opened tab's DOM to verify XPath and cssSelectors. So basically extension need the opened tab access.

Humble request to chrome extension team, please help me on this. My community is eagerly waiting for this release.

This release doesn't ask for any new permission, it is using existing permissions only.

Without seeing the manifest, it is hard to help, but if you have a content script specified there that applies to all of the URLs or something similar, you can remove the activeTab permission.

Thank you so much Phistuck, yes all urls permission for contentScript.

I will remove the activeTab permission and resubmit it. But I would be able to submit only when this pending review status change :(

Could you please help me to get this status as rejected so i can resubmit the final version with the changes. Appreciate your help.

I am not working for Google/part of the webstore team, so I am powerless here. @Simeon Vincent - can you cancel the submission/reject it yourself?

[Dev]

Thank you PhistucK for your kind response, sure.

We can't cancel/reject submission once it is in pending review state.

Request to @Simeon Vincent and team, please reject my submission so that I can submit the new version with the fix. 

Appreciate your support.

[Dev]

Extension got approved. 

Thank you PhistucK for kind support and thanks you chrome team.

Really appreciate it. 

[Simeon Vincent]

Apologies for the delay, I only just saw this thread. For future reference, I cannot help with canceling/rejecting submissions.

For what it's worth, submission cancellation is a common request and feature the CWS team is hoping to tackle this year.

Dev, could you please share what you did to get the extension out of the pending review state to resubmit the chrome extension? 

Thank you. 

[Simeon Vincent]

The item simply worked its way through the review process. It can take up to 3 weeks for review to complete. If your item has been pending for longer than that, please contact developer support.
