Chrome Web Store error when trying to upload a hosted app (to an existing packaged app)

Reported by mar...@moondropapps.com, Oct 31 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : Version 62.0.3202.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)
URLs (if applicable) : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/edit/fbjjojpjgjkpoehlggmbgpalkmcaohic

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) We're trying to update our existing packaged app on the Chrome Web Store with a hosted app. Our manifest file looks like this:
{
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "name": "Drawp for School",
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "app": {
        "launch": {
            "web_url": "https://app.drawpforschool.com/"
        }
    },
    "icons": {
        "128": "drawp-128.png",
        "144": "drawp-144.png"
    }
}
(2) Once the uploading process gets completed:
    An error occurred: Failed to process your item.

    Please specify background subsection of app section in the manifest.

What is the expected result?


What happens instead?
We get the following error once the uploading process gets completed:
    An error occurred: Failed to process your item.

    Please specify background subsection of app section in the manifest.

@Reporter: Could you please provide a sample extension as navigating to URL: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/edit/fbjjojpjgjkpoehlggmbgpalkmcaohic is resulting into a 403 error.
Actually the URL is from the Chrome Web Store developer dashboard, since the issue is happening when trying to upload an update (so I believe it's expected to see the 403 error). 

How to see the issue:
- Preconditions: Packaged app on the Chrome Web Store.
Steps: 
1. Navigate to the Chrome Web Store dashboard page and select "Edit" for the app (the existing packed app).
2. Select "Upload Updated Package" from the Upload section.
3. Select the .zip file containing the files of the hosted app.

Actual result: When the uploading is about to be completed, an error occurs like in the screenshot attached above, and we're not able to upload the hosted app as an update.

If you still need us to provide a sample extension, could you please give us a bit more details on that?

Packaged app to hosted app type change is not allowed in CWS. You can convert them to extensions though.
