OAuth2 using identity not working in Chrome Extension when deployed in webstore

I am working on a chrome extension which requires oauth2 authorization using "identity" API.

I was successful in authorization when the extension was on my local machine. If I am not logged in chrome, then it asked me to first login to chrome and then the interactive google authorization.

But when I deployed the extension in webstore and authorizing, it is always asking me to Sign in to chrome despite I am already signed in. Even though I am signing in again, it is not showing any further interactive authorization screens.

I have also updated the client id in the webstore extension as per the new extension id generated. What can be the possible reason? Please help.

Thanks in Advance!

I got it working by adding the public key in the field "key" in my manifest.json. You can get the public key value from Webstore dashboard.

  • Simply go to webstore and click on "More info" of your deployed extension.
  • Copy the public key and paste it in the manifest.json file.

Note: There is no need to add the "key" in the local instance but I needed it in the production instance.
