App build with ActionScript3/Harman SDK but we don't even have REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES declared in our xml.
Also, I already checked the APK via Android Studio, the AndroidManifest doesn't contain also REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES.
Any fix or advice for this? Thank you.
We checked our SDKs/ANE DISTRIQT and none of them that we are using is using the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES.
Check all of the available APKs for your application.
Google will check all available versions of your application so even if your update doesn't have the permission an older build may have. When updating you may have an older version available for different users.
Go through and disable or remove all older versions as part of the update have this permission before releasing.

I am developing my first extension for Chrome and as I am working on Ubuntu, I've encountered two awful bugs.
The first thing is that chrome.i18n.getUILanguage is not supported! (console gives me an error about unsupported method). The thing is that this problem is not listed on any WIKI page, which may become tricky for beginners. Anyone had similar issue? For now, I am using window.navigator.language.
The second bug is about rich notifications that are not supported (anyone knows when it will be released?). As far as I know, when the app will be about to send a notification, the scripts will stop due to the error (similar to the first bug). I am not sure if there is possibility to develop different packages for different platforms, but if I want my extension to be truly multi-platform, I will have to give up development of this feature.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks,
As i said earlier in a comment, it seems to be not supported with linux mint either where i'm developing the chrome extension.
In this link a member of the chrome team said that they submitted it... but this is not true.
Thanks for the window.navigator.language alternative.
I am new to PPAPI development and have downloaded the already examples from here
However, even after coming across the documentation,
I am not able to build the project.
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Windows OS and Chrome:30.0.1599.65
I understand that once a dll is created, using the regsvr32 command will register the plugin, although getting the dll, even with available code, seems tough for me. Any help for building the dll is appreciated.
You will want to start here to download the and set up the SDK: https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download
This page will take you through how to build and run the examples: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/sdk/examples
This page goes over how to actually create your own plugin: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/devguide/tutorial/tutorial-part1
And then you should read this entire section to code and structure your application: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/devguide/coding/application-structure
If you need any third party libraries be sure to check here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/webports
Edit: Forgot to mention that you will want to use the same version of the pepper api as the version of chrome you're running (in this case pepper_30). Also, you have to use the NaCl toolchain (one of either glibc, newlib, or pnacl); you can't use the Visual C/C++ toolchains. I recommend trying pnacl now that it is available, as that is by far the most cross platform version, but if you run into trouble, you'll probably want to use the newlib toolchain as it has better support.
Is this possible? I think I may have missed something obvious here. I have a live UI scripts app, and I need to fix a bug. The potential bugfix has to be tested on multiple browsers, so it actually has to be published, instead of just trying out the "current version". This means that it has to be published to a new URL.
Thanks.
it actually has to be published, instead of just trying out the "current version" ?
There is no reason why using different browsers should prevent from using de 'dev' version of an app... you can login in many browser at the same time and play with the dev version on each browser (I do that very often using a couple of android and osX browsers simultaneously). Did you try and did you meet issues doing so ?
So i am working in a chrome extension which won't be hosted on the google webstore, thus i will need to add the auto-update functionality to it, however i need it to be a little more dynamic, i will try to illustrate what i am trying to accomplish by a little scenario so it won't seem pointless.
Scenario
I need to have an extension that's kinda have different editions for each version, i.e. each version have a free edition and a paid (feature rich) edition, and whenever a new version is released the extension will be updated according to it's edition.
In other words, the server should be able detect the user's edition and provide the crx file according to it "i.e. dynamic".
What i tried / think of
1.I tried to set a cookie with the extension edition, so when the auto-update occurs the server can check it and generate the xml file, unfortunately i found that cookies don't get sent in the auto-update headers sent by chrome.
2.I can make the extension talk to the serve when chrome start-up, so it will send it's edition, so the server will store it along with the ip and when the auto-update occurs the server will check the request ip and match it with the edition to provide the xml, i think this could work but it's kinda lame method.
3.I can use native apps to modify the manifest file to point to a different xml file according to the edition, i guess this will work too but i am not in favor of using native apps.
4.I tried to find a way to modify the get-request parameters (i.e. to add custom parameters like the edition), but it seems that there is no way to do so.
5.I can separate different editions to be different extensions (i.e. free edition will be a in different package than the paid one), however i am interested to make it all in one, so the user can upgrade/downgrade their subscription without installing/removing the extension they already have.
I guess that's it and i hope some one would have a better idea on how i can accomplish what i am trying to do.
P.S. I know the title is kinda vague but i couldn't find a better one, so if you came up with better title please let me know.
Why not make the free edition version 1.* and the paid edition version 2.*? Then make your update page generated dynamically by a simple PHP page, that gets the app id and version (see the autoupdate docs).
Put "update":"http://www.mysite.com/update_app.php in your manifest. In your PHP script, read $_GET['version'], and serve an XML update document to match the major version number (1.* free version, 2.* paid version). Basically, keep two XML update files on your server (and two CRX files) and have the script decide which one to serve.
It doesn't have to be PHP, of course; any server-side language will do.
I need to check a bug in Google Chrome for specific version like 14.0.802.30. How can I get the pervious version for that? Also, how can I switch off automatic update functionailty of Chrome?
Some old Chrome-Versions can be found on oldapps.com if you can't find the version there, you can maybe use the corresponding Chromium release? Its basically Chrome minus the Google-Spyware. For Operating Systems other than linux you have to build your own version tough (easy to follow instructions are published on the website).
Chromium-Releases can be found here
