Chrome Web Store: An error occurred: No manifest found in package. Please make sure to put manifest.json at the root directory of the zip package.

Trouble uploading packages to both Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Add-ons.

From Chrome Store: "An error occurred: No manifest found in package. Please make sure to put manifest.json at the root directory of the zip package."

This is a very important problem to fix since vendors are moving toward app-store-only extension models. Kango is currently unusable for recent Chrome versions without manually editing the package, which is difficult because paths break if the manifest is moved to root.

Same issue with Chrome store. Added manifest and fiddled with paths but no luck.

Zipping up the files inside the build/output/chrome folder worked.

Works fine, seems you doing something wrong, please send your .zip to extensions@kangoextensions.com

@artemkrylysov: it happens with a default scaffold. manifest.json isn't in the root folder of the xpi package. Is this incorrect?

XPI is Firefox extension, you should zip output/chrome directory. If it doesn't help - please send zip to our email.

This helped. Humbly suggest automatically zipping the folder and naming it chrome-webstore.zip, as all Chrome extensions need to follow this follow this distribution path now. Thanks!
