I don't have the inspect views option on my google chrome extension that I am working on.
And this is my manifest.json
{
"name": "hoko's ext",
"description": "my ext",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 3,
"action": {
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions": [
"activeTab"
],
"background": {
"service-worker": "background.js",
"type": "module"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://*/*"],
"js": ["content.js"]
}
]

I am trying to migrate/update a manifest 2 file to manifest 3. But I am getting the following error Invalid value for 'background.service_worker'. Could not load manifest.
From the original maifest 2 file I removed "persistent": true and changed "background": {"scripts": ["background.js", "worker.js"], to be "background": {"service_worker":["background.js", "worker.js"],
My full code for v3 can be seen below:

Am looking to migrate a manifest V2 extension to V3, but concerned extension might be disabled due to change in manifest permissions. My original plan was to create a new beta extension with existing V2 code and perms, install it from the chrome store locally, then update to manifest V3 perms and see what happens, but chrome store no longer accepts new V2 extensions.
Either the official documentation is purposely vague on the matter of permissions, or I missed something. Other SO questions I see are very specific. Hoping someone with more experience sees this and might be able to spot right away if anything may trigger with the manifest upgrade below. Ideally it's a smooth process given were already requesting a broad match on one of the content script blocks, and the permission list is also reduced.

I am trying to get the local IP address of the device but when I add the permission system.network I am getting the warning
'system.network' is only allowed for packaged apps, but this is a extension.
What does it mean by packaged app and if it will work after publishing, how can I test the extension locally?

I have a Chrome Extension project, the structure looks like this:
project/
dist/
index.html
manifest.json
When I go More Tools -> Extensions -> Load Unpacked Extensions
I choose the root of the project, and it works! But I can't figure out how it knows to load dist/index.html? The manifest.json file doesn't say anything about dist/index.html, so how does Chrome know how to load the extension?
I built this extension a few months ago, and now I can't figure out how it works lol.
the manifest.json file looks like this verbatim:
{
"manifest_version": 2,

I'm sure that it is I tried with/without BOM and I still get this error :

I used a program to mass convert all my files in UTF-8, now it works, I think as 方 觉 said, the problem was coming from another file than the manifest.
