I am using direct upload to Google Chrome Store via Webstore Developer Dashboard. I uploaded yesterday and it was published at night. This morning my colleague switched on his mac, opened Chrome, waited for 20 minutes, but extension was not updated. I did the same and my extension was updated.
What can it be? Are there any tweaks to make installed extension be up-to-date instantly? We do not want our users to use different versions of our extension.
There is a period of a few hours to a week where users could be using the old version of your extension. There isn't really anything you can do about it.

In our product we force install the Chrome extension we ship via Policy setting ExtensionForceInstallList. The setting is in the proper format and initially installs our Chrome extension from the Google web store just fine.
The problem is when I publish a newer version those same clients do not pull down the new version unless our tester goes to the Manage Extensions page and clicks Update.
These were on clients that brought up the Chrome browser today (a Tuesday) on a Chrome extension that was formally "published" on the previous Friday.
i've published a new chrome extension to the google chrome's web store, to my company account.
we already have few extensions there.
the extension's upload was completed successfully
and its status is "published"
uploaded it 3 days ago
in addition, I examined the manifest multiple times, and seems like I have all the relevant properties set there.
BUT, I can't see my extension available in the Web Store, nor find it in the search
any idea on what could be the problem ?
Make sure that your app is published as public to be visible to everyone. I think it usually takes a week for the app to be visible. You can also reach out to the Chrome team through their support page.
My Chrome extension is distributed through the Chrome store, which is supposed to manage the auto-update itself and push it after a few hours to my users.
I pushed an update more than one week ago and it seems that is hasn't been pushed to any user. The Chrome store is displaying the latest version number, but browsers are just not updating.
I know how to force my browser to update but I want the update to push to all my users.
Is there any thing I'm missing? Thanks!
Our Chrome Extension was removed from the Google Chrome store (and Google Marketplace) and we didn't get any notification before hand that it was going to be removed, and didn't get notified that it was removed (or for what reason).
Our extension is FollowUp.cc (a growing company that depends on the extension)
One of our engineers started reverting changes and republished an older version of the extension in hopes that that may help. We're out of ideas.
Any help would be appreciated!
I have an extension in the Chrome Webstore with ~400 000 users. Since a couple of months ago I have been getting e-mails from users whose extension has stopped working for them. They're basically just seeing the HTML page in the popup and options page. No content dynamically added by any JavaScript. After some helpful debugging from one user it appeared that the JavaScript files were gone. He sent me the following screenshot:
So what appears to happen is that the JS files become unreachable, or disappear. My guess is that this happen when an upgrade occurs. I haven't moved or changed the names of any files in any recent updates. No big changes have occurred at all.
I have solved this by sending instructions on how to find the extension on the hard drive, and attaching the extension files, so they manually themselves have to patch the extension. This always works. Now today, after receiving 4 e-mails within an hour with the same problem, I've had enough.
One user had all her extensions stop working at the same time. My guess being that this problem was the culprit. Me sending the patch to her solved the issue for my extension at least.
So my question to stackoverflow is: Has anyone else experienced this? This seems like quite a serious issue with Chrome. It started appearing around Chrome 20 and still happens with 22. My manifest version was prior to a couple of days ago 1.
