The extension is now published (ID: mkiffclapimhbjjlgkndlillglopbcic). Drop the pinned "key" field from manifest.json (the Store rejects it anyway) and use the Store-assigned ID everywhere instead of juggling two IDs: native-host/com.kget_capture.host.json's allowed_origins, keys/extension-id.txt, and docs. This also removes the need for a separate key-stripped release zip, since there's no key left to strip.

# Extension ID
|
|
|
|
`extension-id.txt` holds the extension's one canonical ID,
|
|
`mkiffclapimhbjjlgkndlillglopbcic`, assigned by the Chrome Web Store on
|
|
first publish. It's hardcoded into
|
|
`native-host/com.kget_capture.host.json`'s `allowed_origins`, which is what
|
|
lets the native host trust connections from the extension without asking
|
|
each user to paste their own ID.
|
|
|
|
`extension/manifest.json` intentionally has no `"key"` field: the Chrome Web
|
|
Store dashboard rejects any manifest that includes one ("key field is not
|
|
allowed in manifest"), since it assigns its own permanent ID on first
|
|
publish instead.
|
|
|
|
`kget-capture-private.pem` / `kget-capture-public.der` / `kget-capture-public.b64`
|
|
are leftover from an earlier approach that pinned a separate ID for unpacked
|
|
installs via a local key pair. They're no longer referenced anywhere (the
|
|
`.pem` was never committed; see `.gitignore`) and can be ignored or removed.
|
|
|
|
## Implication for local "Load unpacked" development
|
|
|
|
Since there's no pinned key, Chrome derives an unpacked install's ID from a
|
|
hash of its local path, which won't match
|
|
`mkiffclapimhbjjlgkndlillglopbcic` and differs per machine/checkout. To test
|
|
an unpacked build against the native host locally, add your own unpacked
|
|
ID to `allowed_origins` in `~/.config/<browser>/NativeMessagingHosts/com.kget_capture.host.json`
|
|
after running `install.sh` (Chrome shows the unpacked ID on
|
|
`chrome://extensions` once loaded).
