Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.72 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.5.652.4 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. install an unpacked extension in developer mode with a certain key 2. close Chrome 3. change this key in extension's manifest 4. open Chrome 5. close Chrome 6. change this key back to the original one 7. open Chrome 8. restart at will What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? It's gone and will always be gone as soon as you restart no matter how often you reinstall it. Did this work before? No Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 54.0.2840.72 Channel: n/a OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0 I found this when I tried to develop an extension in two "channels" (stable and beta) providing both via the Chrome Web Store (latter one to a distinct closed group of testers).

christoph142@, In order to triage this issue could you please explain on how to change the extension manifest key and if possible please provide the sample extension file. Thank You...

Hi Kkaluri,
this simple manifest.json file will do:
{
"name" : "test extension",
"description" : "extension for testing key issue",
"version" : "1.0",
"key" : "KEYGOESHERE",
"manifest_version" : 2
}
You need to log into Chrome Web Store and have two extensions in your dev cockpit. Just insert any of these keys where KEYGOESHERE is.

(The key is the "Public key" located in "More info" at the right end of your extension at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard without the -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- and -----END PUBLIC KEY----- part)
