I just created a chrome extension, I wanted to know how to change the "offered by" and "developer" information. Check the screenshot below I have underlined the information I am referring to.
I found this one old SO thread - How to specify author of Extension in Manifest file.
And I have tried something like this
{
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icons/logo.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html",
"default_title": "Timezone Convertor"
},
"description": "The all in one, timezone plugin you had been waiting for!",
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Timezone Convertor",
"permissions": [ "storage", "tabs", "http://*/*", "https://*/*" ],
"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",
"version": "1.5",
"authors": [{"name": "Ali Rizvi", "email": "example@gmail.com"}, {"name": "Yasser R Shaikh", "email": "example@gmail.com"}]
}
But it doesnt work. Google's manifest documentation also doesnt have much information about it.
Those were in manifests v1 (Also explained here). For v2 and v3 extensions they are changed in the Chrome Web Store Developer Dashboard.
