[SOLVED] Firefox addon upload says my ID does not match regular expression but it does

Firefox addon upload says my ID does not match regular expression but it does

Trying to create an extension with manifest v3. Following the guide it says I need to provide a UUID in browser_specific_settings.gecko. I have done that here: '

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    ...
    "icons": {
      "48": "images/icon-48.png",
      "128": "images/icon-128.png"
    },
    "browser_specific_settings": {
        "gecko": {
            "id": "7e08ead6-7844-4272-8140-4875a3b8ab5d"
        }
    },      
    "content_scripts": [ ... ]
  }

But get the following:

What am I missing?

Solution

You need to wrap your GUID in curly brackets { }, as seen in the first RegExp or documented on MDN under the Extension ID format. So the correct code would look like this:

    "browser_specific_settings": {
        "gecko": {
            "id": "{7e08ead6-7844-4272-8140-4875a3b8ab5d}"
        }
    }

Personally I would also suggest using the "email like" format, it's friendlier and easier to associate with the extension.
