How to open chrome app with specific URL through chrome_proxy.exe?

Question

I have a Chrome app that I created with "Create Application Shortcut". What I need is to open that app with specific url on the same domain.

Example:

chrome_proxy.exe --profile-directory=Default --app-id=xxxxxxxx "https://www.google.com"

Is that possible or any command that achive the same result?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you installed the Chrome app so that the website launches in a standalone window. If this is the case, you can achieve something similar by using the --app command line switch instead.

Eg: chrome_proxy.exe --profile-directory=Default --app="https://www.google.com"

This doesn't strictly open the URL in the existing app, but it does open that specific URL in a standalone window.
