'socket' is not allowed for specified package type (theme, app, etc.)

Question

Chrome API for sockets is not working now for me.

I\'ve got following manifest:

{
 \"name\": \"My name\",
 \"version\": \"0.1\",
 \"manifest_version\         


        

Answer 1

This is expected behavior, the socket API is only available to packaged apps, and based on the manifest you're working on an extension.
