Can't install my own Google Chrome extension

I have created pretty easy extension that is working well in "load unpacked mode" and even as .crx file. But I can't install it from Chrome Store, it says "no file" while I trying to install it. Other users reporting about the same problem. Is there something at my side or google side?

ps. extension page, source code.

I had the same problem, unfortunately mine stayed broken for 2 days. I managed to fix it simply by bumping up the version number and re-uploading the zip file.

Google Chrome considers a file to be installable if either of the following is true:

The file has the content type application/x-chrome-extension
The file suffix is .crx and both of the following are true:
    The file is not served with the HTTP header X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
    The file is served with one of the following content types:
        empty string
        "text/plain"
        "application/octet-stream"
        "unknown/unknown"
        "application/unknown"
        "*/*"
