Hi 

I have uploaded the extension however it is displaying as app and users unable to download it. How to fix it?

It appears that you've created a hosted app, not an extension. You even refer to it as an app in your item description.

In order to convert this item to an extension, you will need to remove the "app" property from the manifest. Please note, though, that this item does not currently provide any extension functionality, so I would not expect it to pass review if all you do is remove the app definition from your manifest.

I'm not totally sure, but I suspect that you cannot install bglocgdhbelkdbjimopoihgjagdppddm because Chrome apps are not supported on any platform except Chrome OS.

It appears that at the end of the day the product you're offering is a web site. Rather than building a Chrome App or Extension, you may consider making your website an installable progressive web app. For more information, please see the What does it take to be installable? article on web.dev or the How to make PWAs installable article on MDN.
