Chrome Web Store — submission guide

Status: ✅ Published — public · live v0.1.9 (one-button captions + Translate + tab audio fix)
Install: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fpfojfkkilokgjbjphgdlcckoffekibi
Extension ID: fpfojfkkilokgjbjphgdlcckoffekibi

Extension zip (updates): run npm run extension:zip → dist/GlobalBridge-Extension-v0.1.9.zip
Dashboard: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/devconsole
Privacy policy URL (required): https://001453.github.io/newtranslate/privacy.html

Live — v0.1.9 (one button)

Store listing Summary (132 char max):

One button: live captions on any tab + Translate app. Install desktop once from popup — all local on your PC.

Notes for reviewer (optional):

v0.1.9: One-button UX — installs desktop via chrome.downloads, starts tab captions, opens localhost:3000 Translate.
Fixed tab audio muting during capture. No new permissions since v0.1.8.

Submit v0.1.7 (captions + Translate — one install)

  1. npm run extension:zip → dist/GlobalBridge-Extension-v0.1.7.zip
  2. Dashboard → Package → Upload new package
  3. Store listing → update Summary (below) → Save draft
  4. Privacy — same as v0.1.6 (no new permissions)
  5. Submit for review

v0.1.7 Summary (132 char max)

Live captions + Translate on your PC. One install from popup — tab subtitles and text translation at localhost:3000.

v0.1.7 — Notes for reviewer (optional)

v0.1.7: UI copy update only — clarifies one desktop install includes Translate/PDF at localhost:3000
plus tab captions via extension. No new permissions since v0.1.6.

Rejection fix — v0.1.6 (Purple Potassium)

Google rejected v0.1.5: scripting permission unused.

Fix: Removed scripting from manifest.json — overlay uses static content_scripts in manifest, not chrome.scripting.

  1. npm run extension:zip → dist/GlobalBridge-Extension-v0.1.6.zip
  2. Upload new package → Submit for review
  3. Privacy → remove scripting justification field (permission no longer requested)

Update to v0.1.5 (Chrome-first install)

  2. Dashboard → GlobalBridge Live Captions → Build → Package
  3. Click Upload new package → select GlobalBridge-Extension-v0.1.5.zip
  4. Wait for manifest validation (version 0.1.5, permissions include downloads, alarms)
  5. Store listing → update Summary + Description (below)
  6. Privacy → reviewer notes (below) — explain new permissions
  7. Submit for review → Publish when approved
