Extension/Addon development

I see some others asking about deploying extensions to the store, but I seem to be stuck at finding the new documentation on how to make an extension.   I see the new https://docs.microsoft.com/en-...

Thank you GDomjan for your feedback. We are working to get our extension documentation and processes ready for the preview channels of Microsoft Edge. I will let the team know about this issue.

Elliot Kirk While there's no specific documentation, can you point to any sample of native messaging on the new Edge?

    Elliot Kirk Does the Edge Dev Channel support native messaging host (yet)? I have an extension that needs the native host in order to function.

      ArunKBuduri   When I imported our Chrome extension it was able to use the native messaging based on the id that was assigned by Google store.

      However, still, no clarity on the access control for the native messaging once the extension is published from the MS store.  Assuming so far that there will be changes to the store ID.

        GDomjan That's great to know you have it working. When Edge automatically imported, it didn't seem to import the native host. My chrome native host json is under "/library/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts". Do you know where Edge Dev gets its json from? Did Edge make a copy of all the native host json files into its own folder anywhere? 

         

        I couldn't find any though and I don't see the native host started inside Edge.
