Question

I have the following problem: my Google Chrome extension has been submitted before the packaging mechanism (i.e. ship your own pem file to the webstore) was introduced. Now I d like to update the extension but since I don t have a pem file the webstore will automatically generate a new one, hence, my extension will have a new ID which causes the update mechanism to fail and I d loose my existing user base.

能否为旧的扩展名获取一个微粒文件, 或者我可以提供我自己的微粒文件 w//o 打破更新的机械模件。

Thanks, Peter

Answer 1

如果您的扩展名已经在 Chrome Web 仓库中, 那么您不需要有. pem 文件来提交更新。如果您的扩展名不在 Web 仓库中, 但是您会喜欢移动它并保留相同的 ID, 那么您就可以上传您旧的. pem 文件. pem, 名为 < code>key. pem ( 详见 < a href=" http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/ packageing. html#upload" rel= "no fol" > document , 详情见 < a > 。

这不是一个理想的解决办法,但你可以称之为B计划。更新的扩展名(加上新的id)可以通过寻找旧的 sid 自动禁用旧的扩展名。

chrome.management.getAll(function(ext){
    if(ext.length===1) return;

    for(var i=0; i<ext.length; i++){
        if(ext[i].id!=="ENTER_OLD_EXTENSION_ID_HERE") continue;
        chrome.management.setEnabled(ext[i].id,false);
    }
});
