I want to publish my android apk to chrome web store. I've downloaded zip from ARC welder app. When I launch the app from welder app, It's working as expected. But, when I upload it to chrome webstore from developer dashboard, it's status remains PROCESSING. It doesn't change. However, docs say the edit page will appear within seconds after upload. What's wrong?
Can I extract the zip download with app welder - change manifest file , add icon images - zip again - upload to web store?
The error you met is a known bug for developer dashboard UI and has affected many developers currently. Google chrome engineer team is working on it and may have a fix soon. The best you can do now is trying to upload via the publish API : https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/using_webstore_api
