"Uncaught Invalid Chrome Web Store item URL" while inline installation of chrome extension

Question

I have created a Chrome extension and also published it to tester group on Chrome Webstore. When I am trying to load (add) the extension from my site, getting error as

Uncaught Invalid Chrome Web Store item URL.

On method Installer.prototype.install = function(url, onSuccess, onFailure) in webstore javascript file (provide by chrome to install extension on browser).

I have done to install extension by inline installation which is approached by Chrome.

I have verified the "url" on inline installation by browser address space which is properly getting the extension location on chrome web store.

I am not able to find the problem, please help me to come out of this.

Answer 1

Make sure that your URL is of the form https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/itemID. The Chrome Web Store recently started to advertise URLs of the form https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/*title*/itemID, which are not accepted for inline installation.

For example, for Google Mail Checker, the URL should be https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mihcahmgecmbnbcchbopgniflfhgnkff, not https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-mail-checker/mihcahmgecmbnbcchbopgniflfhgnkff.
