How do you submit a Microsoft Edge Insider Addon to the Microsoft Store? (Edge Chromium Extension)

[Deleted]

Hello,

What would be the process for submitting a browser extension for the new chromium-based Edge to the Microsoft Store.

There are a bunch of extensions already in the store, however I can't find any information on how to add one: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/insider-addons/category/EdgeExtensions

We have a number of accessibility apps and extensions in Google Chrome that would be great for Microsoft Edge

[#2]

Hi,

Same question here; we'd like to add 1Password X to the Microsoft Edge's extensions store, it works great there. 

[#3]

I am not sure. I will look into this for you.

[#4]

That would be great, thank you

[#5]

Hi,

joining this request, we at StickyPassword would like to also submit our extension, it's ready.

Thx

[#6]

@Deleted, @MikeT_1Password @JiriH  - we setting up the new submission process for extensions. We will have more details soon!

[#7]

@Balaje_Krishnan Please, make the extension publishing process as simple as possible, like in other stores (Chrome and Firefox). Previous process with manual operations, command line tools, digital signings etc. was not good.

[#8]

@alexanderby  - yes; that is our goal to keep the submission process as simple as possible and in line with other stores.

[#9]

@Balaje_Krishnan 

Hi,

We also joining this request and would like to submit our extensions 

"Click&Clean" and "Magic Actions for YouTube". Any news on the new

submission process for insider extensions?

[#10]

I would also like to know how to publish. I have an extension called WinchPass that bridges iCloud Keychain to Windows.

Here it is on the Chrome Store.

[#11]

did you have any solution?

[#12]

@Balaje_Krishnan Hi, would also like to submit PerfectPixel add-on https://www.welldonecode.com/perfectpixel/ to Microsoft Edge's extensions store. 

[#13]

Any news? I'd like to bring my two extensions to Edge, too!

[#14]

@Balaje_Krishnan 

Any news on how can we submit extension to the store? How did the other developers published the extensions that are now available to be installed.

[#15]

 @andreibatinas 

I think from Here:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions/requests/

[#16]

@HotCakeX 

These links talk about the current version of microsoft edge. The question was about the new chromium based Edge. As the title says "Microsoft Edge Insider Addon"

[#17]

@timbru @andreibatinas @WellDoneCode @yhl452493373 @HotCakeX, @Vladas @alexanderby @JiriH @igormaka @MikeT_1Password @Balaje_Krishnan  This process has taken us longer than we imagined it would.  We are still working on it though, and will hopefully be able to give details soon.

Thanks - Elliot

[#18]

@Elliot Kirk can you also advise on the payment workflow as well.

Chrome, for example, supports (even encourages) the use of self-managed licensing flows due to the potential of depending on client-side javascript to verify payment/licenses and that the Chrome Web Store may not be appropriate. I've seen old Edge policies suggesting it enforces MS Store usage for all payments so wanted to confirm that we'd all need to write Edge specific extensions if wanting to publish paid extensions to the Edge (Chromium) store.

It would be advantageous to not be forced to do this, especially for existing Chrome extension developers wanting to publish to Edge as well.

[#19]

@Elliot Kirk Hi, any news regarding the submission of chromium extensions to the Microsoft Store?

[#20]

@Elliot Kirk 
It appears that Jan 15th is the release date and a "release candidate" type of build is going public today:
https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/4/20942038/microsoft-edge-chromium-release-date-new-logo-features

Do you have an update in regards to the Store?

Thanks, Michael

[#21]

No worries, just take your precious time, you only failed 2 browsers so far due to ridiculously overcomplicated processes and frameworks for community submissions, third time's a charm I guess.

[#22]

@AlexT2594 Hi, you can upload your Edge extension here: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard

Register developer account, then from the projects select Microsoft Edge.

I have uploaded same ZIP file with extension as for Google Chrome. It looks like they are not approving yet, I am waiting in review state for 6 days.

[#23]

@pospichalalesare you certain this already refers to the new Edge instead of the old one?

[#24]

The previous version of extensions worked a bit differently as I know. They were acting as store apps and the process was a little bit different.
I am not completely sure but think it could be a new version.

[#25]

Last time Microsoft said that when they are ready they will post more about it
news important like this will definitely appear in here
https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-new
and they will most likely create blog posts and articles to address extension developers' questions

[#26]

We are in process of testing the new submission process and will have more details to share soon! As we get closer to release, we will announce in Microsoft Edge Insiders website (https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/). Stay tuned!

[#27]

Thank you! looking forward to that :)

[#28]

May i know is there any update regarding hosting the extensions...?

[#29]

test

[#30]

[#31]

What's that?

[#32]

@Balaje_Krishnan Hi, any news when we may expect new publishing process? The release date is getting close.

[#33]

@pospichalales @semantex_kenya @Vijay1135 @michaelketting 

Hi,

Get started building extensions for the new Microsoft Edge

Starting today, the Microsoft Edge Addons store is now open for submissions for all developers. This is where users will find your extensions for the new Microsoft Edge. You can submit your extensions today by visiting the Partner Center Developer Dashboard.

More info:

[#34]

Wonderful!

[#35]

I don't see any option to price the extension. Are paid extensions not supported?

[#36]

Hi @igormaka 

I'm not sure, please contact Microsoft Edge Addons Developer Support from the link below:

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099580

Also,

Initial developer documentation

p.s Tbh every time i was looking for an extension or add-on that I needed, I always found them to be free. I have never come across a paid one on chrome web store, until now that I intentionally typed in the search area "paid extension" and found one.

[#37]

Hi @igormaka,

We do not currently support publishing extensions as paid. This feature is planned for later.

However, you can integrate any third-party commerce solution you want with your extension & publish to store.

[#38]

@Balaje_Krishnan 

I'm going through the submission process and I need a bit more detail about why my extension is failing. Is there anywhere I can email to get some more details?

[#39]

@lworkman 

Maybe the policy doc could help you.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/store-policies/developer-policie...

[#40]

I also see Google is blocking paid extensions from their platform.

[#41]

Where did you see that Google is blocking paid extensions?

[#44]

Wow! I was wondering why my patch was rejected... Thank you for telling me.

[#45]

You're welcome!

[#46]

By the way, I just tried submitting again and it sent me over to the "new dashboard".
I filled some more forms and waiting for review again.

[#47]

Wait, when you said your patch was rejected, you were talking about Google extension store or Microsoft?

[#48]

Google store. I wanted to ship a bug fix and I kept running into review rejections :loudly_crying_face:

[#49]

Oh, are you planning to release it on Microsoft addon store too?

[#50]

Yeah, once there's an option to publish paid extensions :upside_down_face:
