I submit app to Windows Store with "Hide this app in the Store. Customers with a direct link to the app’s listing can still download it"
App now is "In the Store"
But links from "App identity - You can share this link to help customers find your app in the Store:" not work - "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found."
Why not work?
There are another way for hide app?
What the time since you published your application ? Usually, It takes around 2 ~ 4 hours to be available ..

I made a app for the chrome store and when I search it, It shows no results? I paid the developer and it seems to not be worth it if people just cant find it on the store.
P.S. If I click the app from the developer dashboard, I shows the store page.
The app showed up in a search for 'Milana Website'. Could it be that you just had to wait for Google to process the submission?
I have tried to give other users at our company permission to use a packaged app I am developing. 2 users have had no problem - they log in (through the company Gmail), go to the link I sent them, get the CWStore page for the app, click on "+", & get the app installed.
This has worked with both the "Trusted Testers" option set, and also with the "Anyone who has the link" option set.
Another user gets trapped in the following loop:
- click on the link I sent
- gets the store page for the app, clicks on "+"
- gets a page asking him to log in
- he logs in, & gets a blank page with a small frame saying something like "this user is already logged in on this machine" in the upper right corner
- he goes back to the store page, clicks on "+"
- gets a page asking him to log in ...
This is embarrassing because the user in question is the President of the company :)
This has happened to him while both the "Trusted Testers"and the "anyone with the link" options were set.
I have also tried un-publishing and then re-publishing the packaged app.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I'm following this article, trying to add a sharing dialog in a web app.
I got the button working in opening the modal popup, but it just prints this error in the console:
Refused to display 'https://drive.google.com/share?id=SOME_LONG_ID&foreignService=explorer&shareService=explorer&shareProtocolVersion=2&command=init&subapp=10&popupWindowsEnabled=true&shareUiType=default&rand=1386925457304&theme=2&client=postMessage&appId=MY_APP_ID&embedOrigin=http%3A%2F%2Fmy_app.appspot.com'
in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.
And the modal itself just shows the message "Sorry, sharing is unavailable at this time. Please try again later."
For the checklist at the bottom of the article:
The user is signed in to Google True
The user has installed your app False How do I ask them to install?
The URL of the page that launches the dialog must have the same origin as the Open URL registered for the app. True
So I have 2 questions:
How do I ask them to install my app? It's supposed to be a web app, where there's 1 button to select Drive files via the Picker API (which is now working), and then another button which will sow this Drive sharing dialog to set the permissions of the selected files. There's no need for installation. Will it work for this setup?
What should be the value for the APP_ID? I'm guessing it's the ID in the "Drive SDK" section of the Cloud Console? The console is so confusing and there's so many values for keys, ids, etc. that I have no idea which to use. Here's a screenshot of what I mean by the ID and what I'm trying to use.
(1) Installing means you have to get the user to accept the drive.install scope - instructions here. This will integrate your app with the "open with" menu in Google Drive. But before that can work you will need to tell the Google Cloud Console what url to go to when the user clicks "open" - more instructions. In your case, since you don't actually want to allow the user to open files from Drive you won't be defining any file types, so in reality there won't actually be any visible integration with Drive.
Note that the share dialog will only work on the one page which has the url you specify as the target for "open" (the instructions say this and from experience it seems to be true).
(2) Client ID You can find this in the Google Cloud Console - see above. Mine is a 12 digit number, so yours will probably be too.
I had the same problem. The iFrame error shows up when you call setItemIds if your app_id is wrong. No idea why. Anyway, it started working for me when I used the right app_id -- the one that shows up like in your screenshot.
I need some light on the matter of Chrome Webstore registration.
I'm still confused despite searching through the web: the "app" will be only private for the site (we're trying to develop a Elgg plugin for our website that will allow users to access their drives).
1) for testing, do I need to register it (I did a search but some say yes like in the Google Drive SDK documentation, some say no in the google-drive-sdk tags)?
2) when the plugin is finished, tested and ready to go live for our users, do I still need to register it and pay 5$?
Thanks you for the answer you can provide us.
You don't need to register your app on the Chrome Web Store if you don't want to integrate with the Google Drive web UI: having the option to create a new file or open a file with your app directly from Google Drive.
Also, it might be easier for you not to create a Chrome Web Store listing while developing.
If you do need to integrate with the Google Drive web UI, but don't want your app to be public, you can publish your app to Trusted Testers only.
I'm building a funnel for our chrome extension using Google analytics.
When it comes to the chrome store stats at the beginning of the funnel, the data the developer's dashboard provides is limited (impressions & installations only).
I'm looking for data such as referrals to my extension page, the amount of people who clicked on the extension page but didn't install it (not impressions).
Can this data be found in the dashboard or GA? where? and if not, how can I otherwise track this?
Thank you very much!

You can add a Google Analytics ID to your projects from the Developer Dashboard. Create a new account in Analytics, click on "Edit" next to your project in the Chrome Developer Dashboard, and add the ID near the bottom of the page. (I'm not sure how new this feature is, but it is a little hard to find).
Inside Analytics, I have a goal set up for the URL /track_install/detail/ext/free/{% my extension id %}, which tracks installations. This shows the number of views without an install in the goal funnel. Referrals are available like any other Analytics page. GA is much more granular and updates in real time instead of once a day like the dashboard.
