Question

Can anyone tell me if it is or will be possible to create plugins for the Chrome iPhone app. I suspect not but it would be brilliant if you could.

Answer 1

I’m sorry but I don’t think there is a way to create plugins for the chrome iOS application.

Because…

• The user has no way to organize these plugins in the application.
• The mobile app is very different from the full computer application,
  smaller, and doesn’t need to have the capabilities of the full
  computer application.
• There isn’t a way to adjust the browser settings.
• You can’t download certain file types from a mobile browser.
• I think downloading these plugins to the device would be against apples policies, because there not approved by apple
• If it would ever work, google would have to offer them all in one application or have in app purchases
• Unless you jail-brake and download the full version chrome you won’t be able to receive plugins on your iOS device
• A developer outside of Google can’t communicate with Googles apps

There are free web browser tutorials out there, instead of creating a plugin for the mobile application, why not just create your own browser. This would allow you to make some awesome “plugin-type” tools.
