How to create Google Chrome App using JSON
Google Chrome is no 1 browser in the world and today I am going to show you how to create Google chrome app using JSON an upload chrome store. I am creating this app using JSON and its very easy to create you can create it in minutes. To create chrome app you need a text editor like notepad or word pad and Google chrome browser.
First of all you have to create “manifest.json” file and put blow code in it.
JSON Code:
{
// Your App name
"name": "PHPGang",
// Your app description (132 characters or less, no HTML)
"description": "PHPGang Programming Blog, Tutorials, jQuery, Ajax, PHP, MySQL and Demos.",
// Your application version
"version": "0.0.0.1",
// Remain Same
"manifest_version": 2,
//128 X 128 Pixel icon
"icons": {
"128": "phpgang_icon.png"
},
"app": {
"urls": [
"https://www.phpgang.com/"
],
//URL of your website. This URL will open once the user click on the icon
"launch": {
"web_url": "https://www.phpgang.com?ref=cws"
}
}
}
Remove comments from above json file before uploading on chrome store. Comments given only for code explanation.
It require 1 icon file 128×128 pixel to show on launch website.
Once you create file and icon put both files in a folder and Click 
and Tools->Extensions and enable Developer mode

Before you publish your first item, you must pay a one-time US$5.00 developer registration fee. We charge this fee in order to verify developer accounts and better protect users against fraudulent activity.
Once you have paid the registration fee, you can publish any number of items. You do not need to pay the registration fee again.
We use Google Checkout to process the US$5.00 payment. We’ll ask you to provide your billing information if you haven’t used Google Checkout before
