Hello dear developers! Next warning appears on app start:

ExtensionLoadWarning: Warnings loading extension at /home/denys_klymenko/.config/MyAwesomeApp/extensions/fmkadmapgo

  Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2023. See https://developer.chrome.com/blog/mv2-transition/ for more details.

Could you bump Manifest version please? Thanks in advance!

Environment:

node.js: v16.15.0
electron: 20.3.0
electron-devtools-installer: 3.2.0

@progsmile Thats not something that can be changed inside this package, it has to be done by the extension.

In the case of react devtools, it seems like the version has been adjusted 5 days ago https://github.com/facebook/react/commits/main/packages/react-devtools-extensions/chrome/manifest.json

Others like vue devtools are still stuck on V2 https://github.com/vuejs/devtools/blob/main/packages/shell-chrome/manifest.json An issue has already been created https://github.com/vuejs/devtools/issues/1917

It seems that the V3 has been supported pretty well in the latest electron, so this issue becomes a matter of version choosing:

• electron version>=27.0.0 should be ok to use this package;
• if not, you should try this work-around, load the extension manually;

related discussions:

• react #25843
• electron changelog of v27.0.0
