Chrome extension not showing up in store

Question

I published my chrome extension to the store a couple of hours ago and received the message: "Your item has been published. All changes will take effect within a few minutes." and am yet to see it appear in the store (still seeing this message).

Does it usually take this long for a chrome extension to show up in the store?

Answer 1

When I click "View in Chrome Web Store" link in the new Developer Dashboard I get to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/************************/publish-accepted-testers?authuser=0&hl=en page:

But if I click on the extension name in the old Developer Dashboard I get to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension_name/****************** page where Add to Chrome button is active.

Answer 2

If you go to the webstore developer dashboard, you should be able to click on your extension, that will bring you to its webstore page. You can share this link before your extension gets listed, which often takes a few hours.

Answer 3

I ran into this issue, and needed to revert to the old developer dashboard (as @Winand mentioned) to get to the correct link in the web store. Here's a screen shot of how to opt out of the new Chrome Extension Developer Dashboard:
