Should I own the site that I create Chrome Web App for?

Question

I am trying to create a Chrome Web App for some WebSite.

I noticed - at Developer Dashboard - Google requires me to own the site in the web_url:

"launch": {"web_url": "http://example.org/"}

Error Msg:

This hosted web app specifies a web_url that is not matched by sites you own. Before you can publish this app, you must verify ownership of the web_url listed below.
Unmatched web_url

Answer 1

Common errors on attempting to publish an app to the Chrome WebStore.

• The official website was not valid.
• The web_url of this hosted web app is not owned by the developer.

I answered a similar question here.

I set the value of web_url in the manifest to

1. sites.google.com/site/conjointbiz
2. semanticc.blogspot.co.uk
3. www.conjoint.biz/

in turn. I am actually (obviously) only the registrant of 3. It seems that by own, google mean registrant.

The following reflects my lack of knowledge and, therefore, inability to give a fuller answer. The question is raised as to what happens behind the scenes to check ownership. And what exactly constitutes ownership? I am currently unclear how a company that owns a web site devolves that ownership to a developer who works for that company. That is what the process of developer registration is in this case? Nor how I "may request they [the site owner] grant you an association which allows you to publish apps ... "

Does anyone know?

This is my previous post:- I actually do not own the URL of sites.google.com/site/conjointbiz although it is 'my' web site. It was created for me by BT/Google initiative and I used it as it is one I could modify into an app home page. So, not before I own that URL. It may be that semanticc.blogspot.co.uk/ a blogger blog would also represent the same problem? I do own the other URLs that I can use e.g. www.conjoint.biz
