Switch Off Universal Navigation in Google Marketplace Application


We have a Marketplace app in the new Marketplace that we do not want the universal navigation extension to be visible for.

In the setup you can uncheck "Enable Universal Navigation extension". It then forces you to "Enable Drive extension".

we don't want either of these options. We only want API access, which is granted by installing the app from the marketplace.

Does anybody know the solution to this?


Solution

  • Actually I found a workaround to solve this problem.

    I enabled a "Drive Extension" but configured the Drive extension so that it never shows up in Drive by setting a "Default File Extension" that will never occur - eg "neveroccur".

    Using this approach there is no universal navigation and my app can access the APIs for the whole organization. Users cannot see a drive extension as it never activates because the file type does not exist.
