I am maintaining one extension for google chrome and I’m receiving complaints from random users saying that it just stopped working.
The error message in “extensions” section is this:
Chrome plugin - Permission chrome-devtools://*/* is unknown or URL pattern is malformed
It seems it’s not a very popular issue – I wasn’t able to find any trace of that. My permissions section of the manifest file looks like this:
"permissions": [
"tabs", "http://*/*", "https://*/*", "chrome-devtools://*/*"
]
And it works just fine for most people
If you look at documentation you will find that only valid schemes are:
'*' | 'http' | 'https' | 'file' | 'ftp' | 'chrome-extension'. I’m guessing that your recent problems are due to this issue being fixed.
