Make sure your manifest is structured correctly. Something like this:

{
  ...
  "permissions": ["tabs"],
  ...
}

It must be within that permission, try to reload more than once, sometimes version 17 is flaky where the permissions do not reload.

Remember, that tabs is only available through Extensions, not Apps. So your most likely getting an error because your packaging it up as an app instead of an extension (You have an "app" attribute in your manifest"
