I am trying to test my chrome extension on different machines, and I saw that the extension id changes every time since I am loading it as an unpacked extension.
But, I really need to maintain the same extension id. My extension goes through OAuth 2.0 with an external non-Google provider. When I registered my extension with the external provider, I had provided the redirect URI in the form of
chrome-extension://<extension-id>/callback.html If I load the unpacked extension again, the id changes and my app no longer works as the redirect URI changes. It's practically unfeasible to keep changing the redirect URI. How do I maintain the same id?

Once uploaded to the Chrome Web Store, your extension ID is fixed and cannot be changed any more. The ID is derived from the .
How to get chrome extensions automatically installed and sync on all your devices. When you turn on Google Chrome browser sync, then all your chrome extensions will be automatically installed on all your devices. Also, the settings and state for all these extensions will be the same on all your devices.
You need to set the key in the manifest file, based on your generated pem file.
There's instruction on getting the pem here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging
And there's more detail on the key field here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest/key
Make sure you save your pem file once you generate it! It can never be generated again, and you'll have to republish your app to get a new one.
