Why can't this chrome extension be installed?
The error message is self-explanatory:
The 'manifest_version' key must be present and set to 2 (without quotes). See developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifestVersion.html for details.
The referenced documentation provides a very clear example at the top of the page:
{
...,
"manifest_version": 2,
...
}
These dots indicate that parts of the manifest file were omitted for the sake of the example. You have to edit your manifest.json
file, and insert "manifest_version": 2
somewhere in the file.
For example, in your case, you can add a line before the "version"
key and put the "manifest_version": 2
declaration over there.
...
"manifest_version": 2,
"version": "1.0"
}
Note that there's a comma at the end of the line. In the JSON data format, every name/value pair is separated by a comma.

I have a couple very short + simple extensions that I can't install to chrome. I am given the following error about the 'manifest version', so I assume that the problem is that it is outdated, I haven't any experience in chrome extensions/javascript so I couldn't fix them myself as I would normally try to do, these were written for me by a friend a while back.
Could someone let me know how I should correct these files?

Many thanks for any help

Rob W over 10 yearsThe error message is self-explanatory... It even contains a link to documentation that features an example on the expected format.

Ricochet_Bunny over 10 yearsYeah, I gave it my best go at trying to correct the files with the info in the docs but I really don't have any experience in JavaScript and I've never worked with browser extensions so I just couldn't do it. Do you think you could help me out? I'd really appreciate it

Ricochet_Bunny over 10 yearsMy apologies, I did in fact try that before I came here for help but it gave me an error message even after I had done so, but I just tried it again and it seems to have worked. I suppose I must have done something wrong the first time. Thanks a lot for your time I appreciate it.
