Add update_url to manifest.json

[hubertbanas]

Starting with Chrome 63 it is now required to have update_url filed in manifest.json. Without that filed Chrome will show "This extension may have been corrupted."

More information can be found at: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/autoupdate

In the documentation I see:
'A manifest may contain an "update_url" field' which is not a requirement.

There's also this: "If you're hosting your own extension or app, you need to add the "update_url" field to your manifest.json file"

I have added "update_url" field but still getting the error. Here is my manifest:

"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Test Streamer",
"description": "A simple extension that allows you to stream your desktop into meetings with Jitsi Meet and Jitsi Videobridge.",
"version": "0.1.6",
"minimum_chrome_version": "34",
"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",
"icons": {
"16": "jitsi-logo-16x16.png",
"48": "jitsi-logo-48x48.png",
"128": "jitsi-logo-128x128.png"
},
"background": {
"scripts": [ "background.js" ],
"persistent": true
},
"permissions": [
"desktopCapture"
],
"externally_connectable": {
"matches": [
"://example.com/"
]
}
}

This link is incorrect.
"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",

You should point update_url to your updates.xml file. See my PR.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

1- Created a new file called updates.xml from updates-example.xml in PR
2- Changed Extension ID
3- Pointed the manifest file to the updates.xml
4- Repackaged the extension -- the error was gone

Got it. Thanks
