Introduction: How to Create Your Own Chrome App
This process takes about 5 minutes.
Step 1: Open Your Favourite Text Editor
In this instructable, I will be using Text.
Step 2: Type in the Following Text
{
"name": "Type the apps name here",
"version": "0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "Type in the description",
"app": {
"urls": ["http://whateverthelinkis"],
"launch": {
"web_url": "http://www.yourlink"
}
},
"icons": { "128": "an icon that can be found on iconfinder"
}
}
Step 3: Save Your Document
Save your document as manifest.json
Remember to save the manifest.json file into a folder that also contains the icon. (This must be a new folder, you cannot use the downloads folder)
Step 4: Upload It to Chrome
Click on the more tools section in the settings drop-down menu and click on extensions.
Step 5: Upload It to Chrome (continued)
Click on "load unpacked extension" and select your file.
YOU ARE DONE!
