Does it have to be aaaaaaaaaaaaa or can it just be the empty string or
something?

This is the sample App ID used in the manifest docs
(https://developer.chrome.com/apps/manifest). If there's going to be a default I
think it should be of the same form as actual inputs.

Removed this line anyway as part of removing IDs.
