I just published my first Google Chrome Extension:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eojkhidnkbolpneigllnelngopamnafa

Everything is working fine, except that the icon for the extension
does not appear in the Extension Management page (chrome://
extensions/). It just shows a broken puzzle piece.

I have specified the icons value in my manifest file, and included the
appropriate icon sizes. Here is my manifest:

{
"name": "JTV Live",
"version": "0.86",
"description": "Justin TV Extension for displaying a user's favorite
channels which are currently live.",
"options_page":"options.html",
"background_page":"background.html",
"homepage_url": "http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2011/07/06/jtv-live-
a-google-chrome-extension-for-justin-tv/",
"icons": {
"16":"images/icon-16.png",
"48":"images/icon-48.png",
"128":"images/icon-128.png"
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "images/icon.png",
"popup":"popup.html",
"default_title":"JTV Live"
},
"permissions": [
"http://api.justin.tv/",
"notifications",
"tabs"
]
}


Any have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Mike,

The part of the manifest that sets icons is in the "icons" object, which looks right. You've checked that the pathes are all accurate, pngs are all valid, and of the correct dimensions?

Hi, just in case it still is a problem: make sure all icons are PNG images. I had all icons as JPEG, did not show up. After converting to PNG and updating manifest, everything works as expected.

I am experimenting same problem, I checked my manifest.json, and reset chrome, rest my computer, but it is still not showing anywhere. Any idea?

You might need to restart Chrome.
With Chrome v20.0, I notice that the Extension icons aren't reset when you Reload an unpacked extension, and even re-installing isn't enough. A restart fixed it.

Has there ever been a resolution to this problem? I am seeing the same issue. Code is all good, icon is a 128x128 png file, I get a blank icon after loading into chrome, even though the extension still functions. This is a simple website redirect extension with only one icon.

A restart of Chrome fixed my problem. Now my extension icon is showing up fine in the extension manager.
