Above link not working...

Google is currently reviewing the extension (even though it was published for several months before). You won't be able to install it until they approve it. I'm not sure how long their review will take.

Thanks for the update! Kindly post to this issue when it gets approved. We'll keep a lookout for it!

Ok, bad news. I just got this email from the Chrome Webstore explaining that they denied the extension:

We may remove your item if it has a blank description field, or missing icons or screenshots, and appears to be suspicious

I'm able to install the extension on my own computers without any issues. The icons are all working and you can shorten URLs properly. I'm not sure why it's getting denied.

The extension is "pending review" again after I released a patch level update.

Is any other update yet?

jonahsnider commented 5 years ago

The Web Store team denied the extension again because it "offered no functionality upon installation". Maybe they didn't know to click the icon to trigger the action? Here's the email they sent me:

Google replied to my email and said the reason the extension got denied is because the 192px icon is missing.

Could not load icon 'images/logo-type-round-192.png' for browser action

Here's the thing, though, the icon is very much existent and loads fine when the extension is loaded unpacked. I'll try playing around with the paths to icons and see if they approve it.
