Chrome app installed as unpacked stopped working in Chrome version 47

We have Chrome app installed as Unpacked extension in Chrome. Till version 46, everything worked perfectly. After update to version 47, app doesn't start at all, no error, no message, nothing. It behaves the same on Windows and Linux.

We have this Chrome app installed on cca. 15 devices and it behaves all the same. Where is version 46, works fine. Where is updated Chrome 47, it just does nothing after click on app icon.

Anybody can help, give advice, hint, anything ?

OK, so for anybody else affected with the same issue as I was, I post this answer. And it is very short. I had in my manifest.json file this parameter:

"kiosk_only" : true

Apperently Chrome changed its behaviour from tolerating this parameter to just silently ignoring whole app with this parameter enabled.

After many hours, I have found out this by looking at chrome_debug.log, which pointed out @SunggukLim in the comments above.
