Fix in app Chrome Extension Permissions in live extension
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
My published Chrome extension currently asks for every permission upfront, which triggers Google’s unverified-app warning. I want to shift those permissions to be requested only when the user actively clicks a button inside the extension (the required user gesture).
Here’s what I need from you:
• Audit my existing manifest.json and background/service-worker code.
• Refactor the logic to use chrome.permissions.request (and remove excess install-time permissions) so the prompt appears only after the button click.
• Verify that any related OAuth scopes or API calls align with Google’s review guidelines and eliminate the “This app hasn’t been verified” message.
• Provide concise documentation of the changes plus a quick checklist I can follow for future updates.
• Stay available through the final Web Store submission in case Google requests clarifications.
If you’ve already shepherded extensions through similar permission reviews, this should be a quick troubleshooting job. I can share the current codebase immediately and will test your fixes as soon as you push them.
