Chrome says my extension's manifest file is missing or unreadable

Question

I\'m a new chrome extension developer, and I was going through the Chrome tutorial on making a \"Hello World\" extension, here\'s my code:

     {
      \"name\":         


        

Answer 1

I also encountered this issue.

My problem was that I renamed the folder my extension was in, so all I had to do was delete and reload the extension.

Thought this might help some people out there.
