I've looked into that and it seems Chrome requires now an update_url parameter in the manifest.json file of the extension. I tried it, added the update_url into the manifest and also an XML file online. Now the extension is available again. ( Link )

Thanks @inovek. Even a dummy url makes it installable again. How did you find out about this? Is there some tool that told you that or you had to look through change logs.

I meant with that, that I've looked into this issue. That means, I searched quickly on google, restricted the search-terms (for version and time) and already the first match was a correct one. Continues my search a while and most solutions was related with the update_url paramter.

But I was suspicious, so I tried out to reproduce the bug and also the solution.
