|
| +
|
| +<p>
|
| +You can use the Chrome Developer Dashboard
|
| +to upload an extension that you've previously packaged yourself.
|
| +However, unless you take special steps,
|
| +the extension's ID in the Chrome Web Store
|
| +will be different from its ID in the package you created.
|
| +This different ID might be a problem if you've
|
| +distributed your extension package,
|
| +because it allows users to install multiple versions of your extension,
|
| +each with its own local data.
|
| +</p>
|
| +
|
| +<p>
|
| +If you want to keep the extension ID the same,
|
| +follow these steps:
|
| +</p>
|
| +
|
| +<ol>
|
| + <li> Rename the private key that was generated
|
| + when you created the <code>.crx</code> file to <code>key.pem</code>. </li>
|
| + <li> Put <code>key.pem</code> in the top directory
|
| + of your extension. </li>
|
| + <li> Compress that directory into a ZIP file. </li>
|
| + <li> Upload the ZIP file using the
|
| + <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard">Chrome Developer Dashboard</a>. </li>
