Unable to launch Chrome Desktop App

  1. I've created my first Chrome Desktop App from https://developer.chrome.com/apps/first_app
  2. There is instruction to launch the application using parameter line --load-and-launch-app=/path/to/app/ at the bottom section of the above help page.
  3. So I created a Chrome shortcut and added the line "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --load-and-launch-app=/T:/Chrome Projects/Hello World"

  4. But unfortunately, it isn't working and giving error saying missing manifest though it isn't Error Screenshot

  5. I can run the app normally if i execute it from chrome browser>Apps section

  6. Also there is no issue if i run the app using ID "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 4" --app-id=geipneggnldmjggcpfhniohfnfnccopo
  7. The App is saved at the folder T:\Chrome Projects\Hello World on my system

Any help is much appreciated Regards,

Solution

  • The correct and full code is:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --load-and-launch-app="T:\Chrome Projects\Hello World"
