zip file seems to be corrupted

[felixZmn]

The installation in Firefox fails with the error Message “This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt”. In Chrome, the zip can be installed, but there is a deprecation warning for manifest version 2.

Same error message for me on Librewolf (Firefox).

Ran the source code through https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/developers/addon/submit/distribution and it created an XPI file which works. So it needs to be signed in order to work.

Can you explain which steps are required to create that working XPI file?

@DAC324 I just logged into the developer hub, clicked on Submit new extension and followed the instructions.
It creates the signed extension in a few minutes.

Edit: Note that this only works for Firefox. The steps for Chrome Web Store are different and you have to pay $5 fee.

This does not seem to work for me. I uploaded IDAC.zip "for my own", it validates OK but then I am presented with the following:

Submit a New Add-on
Do You Need to Submit Source Code?

Mozilla’s add-on reviewers need to be able to read and reproduce the code in your extension. If they can’t, your extension may be rejected.

Do you use any of the following in your extension?

    Code generators or minifiers
    Tools that combine multiple files into a single file, such as webpack
    Web template engines, both for HTML and CSS
    Any other tool that takes code or files, applies processing, and generates code or file(s) to include in the extension

Yes No

What am I supposed to do here?

Update #1: Looks like I can safely tick "No"here. But I am still unable to find any XPI there.
Update #2: This takes some time. Usually, you get an e-mail notification once the XPI is ready. You can then get it using the link provided in the mail, and clicking on the version number displayed there.

• 1. Already working on migrating the Manifest from V2 to Manifest V3, still need some testing for it but should be working soon.
• 2. Thanks for the report, I didn't have time yesterday anymore to test it on firefox but going to do that now and see if I can update the action to generate the XPI archive as well.
