I had the unpleasant experience of submitting an extension to Google Chrome Webstore. Here is a summary:
1- Submit an update
2- Wait a week for it to be approved
3- Publish said update
4- Forget about it and move to working on something else for a few days/weeks
5- Get a random rejection email with a bogus claim and 14 days to "fix it" or the extension is removed
6- Drop everything in my sprint so I can handle this. No actual code change was required, just a series of Kafkaesque support forms and email exchanges.
After 3 or 4 rounds of this, I created a template response with a history of previous interactions and arguments and sending those became part of the routine ...
- entropicdrifter 4y agoI'm gonna be that guy: Summery means "characteristic of or suitable for summer", as in the season Summary is the word you meant to use
- Raed667 4y agoThanks! fixed it. I shouldn't be using the spellcheck without reading the actual suggestion.

- jraph 4y agoSummary. "The prisoners were executed in a summary fashion." Also means brief, concise. I guess a summary execution (which means without trial if I understand correctly) is a briefer process than an execution with a trial… Would also properly qualify the rejection of an extension from the Chrome store, I guess, to go back to the main topic. https://www.wordreference.com/fren/sommaire https://www.wordreference.com/fren/sommaire (yes, found out by translating from French :-) - sommaire also means basic, rudimentary, now I wonder what made us use this word for executions - the brevity, or the basic aspect, sounded like the latter to me in history lessons)
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoMerci pour la leçon :)
- jraph 4y agoAvec plaisir ! ah ah Thanks to wordreference above all. You might have meant it as a joke initially, but I learned something.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoI meant it half joking but I'm also in the process of learning French so I learned something too.
- taberiand 4y agoIt depends. Perhaps Summery, if it's a nice warm day, a comfortable breeze is blowing and the birds are si-

- m00x 4y agoI worked with the extension Webstore and the Android Play Store. The Webstore is absolutely way worse. We took the resolution really seriously at first, and we tried our best to find the issue and fix it, but then we realized we had about the same resolution rate if we just changed a random character in the codebase and resubmitted. We had contacts at Google, but even they couldn't tell us what was wrong. Play Store was/is much better, but we aren't dealing with complicated phone APIs, just basically a React Native app with REST calls. We rarely have any issues getting rejected, and when it is, we get very fast turnarounds on emails. Play store had a much lower
- dessant 4y agoChrome Web Store reviewers leave a lot to be desired. My only effective strategy over the years has been to shame them in public and let them know that our interactions are immediately published across the web. You have to be relentless, otherwise they will destroy a decade of your work in a snap. These threads will surely give PTSD to any extension developer: https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues/57 https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues/57 https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues/63 https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues/63
- Fnoord 4y agoThank you for Buster!
- heavyset_go 4y agoAnd this right here is why we shouldn't let Google, Apple, or Microsoft dictate what software we're allowed to distribute and run. I wouldn't be surprised if Google put you through the gauntlet because your extensions either touch their products, or because they offer similar functionality.
- BarryMilo 4y agoJesus, are even the reviews done entirely by AI?
- counttheforks 4y agoI don't think it's fair to call this AI, as there's clearly no intelligence involved.
- hnick 4y agoArtificial Interactions? Because it has all the semblance of interacting with none of the substance.
