Welcome to the ChromePowered App Generator. Our job here is to help you get your Chrome App up and running with ease! Fill out the boxes below with your Chrome App information. We will then put it together and create the code you need for your "manifest.json" file.

App Type Hosted Packaged
If you plan on your app being hosted on your server, like a bookmark, use hosted. If you will package all your files into the app, use packaged.
App Details
The version can be up to 4 places long and must contain only numbers and periods. So "1.0.0.0", "1", "1.3.453" would all work. No quotes!
App Addresses
If you are making a hosted app, the full url must be set to the place you want the user to enter. So "http:// mysite.com/appstart.html" would work. However, if you are making a packaged app, you need the path to the file stored inside the app folder. So "appstart.html" or "app/appstart.html" if its in a folder. The starting file can be named anything as long as you link to the right file here.
App Icons
You do not need to put in a full path. Only the name of the image. The imaage should be stored in the app root folder. So "myicon_128.png" is what it is looking for and not the full path!

On a packaged app this can point to any file in the app folder.
Chrome Config
This only needs to be set if you are using a library in your app that may not have been added into chrome until a later version until 10. If you are not, then you can leave it blank.
