Re: [crx] How can I use fullscreen on chrome extension manifest 3

[Simeon Vincent]

You appear to be using a Chrome App, not an extension; your manifest.json has an "app" key and your background.js file calls chrome.app APIs. Chrome Apps are deprecated and no longer run on any platform except Chrome OS.

I'm not sure when, exactly, but it looks like Chrome stopped Kiosk Apps a few years ago. Chrome now recommends developing a PWA and launching it in kiosk mode. See Connecting an Extension from a Kiosk PWA a for additional details. Google provides a few other useful resources related to kiosk mode:

• Add websites and PWAs to Chrome kiosks (ChromeOS)
  
• How to develop kiosk apps for ChromeOS (YouTube)
  
• Connecting an Extension from a Kiosk PWA

I've also gathered a couple other links from 3rd parties about kiosk mode

• How To Launch Google Chrome/Chromium in Fullscreen/Kiosk Mode
• Chrome Kiosk Mode covers customizing kiosk mode on different OSs.
