Chrome supported extension IDs
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/11
I wonder how you can programmatically open a Hangouts link from Chrome?
These dit not help:
- [WayBack] Create Google Hangouts quickly with these easy URLs – WP Media Pro
- [WayBack] How to build an chrome extension like Google Hangouts – Stack Overflow
- [WayBack] How can I open a popup like Google Hangouts using a Chrome Extention – Stack Overflow
- [WayBack] How do you launch a Chrome extension without going to the app store? – Super User
So did some more digging.
TL;DR: did not find a solution; so any help is appreciated.
I found the IDs of then in [WayBack] extensions/common/constants.cc – chromium/src.git – Git at Google
namespace extension_misc { const char kPdfExtensionId[] = "mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai"; const char kQuickOfficeComponentExtensionId[] = "bpmcpldpdmajfigpchkicefoigmkfalc"; const char kQuickOfficeInternalExtensionId[] = "ehibbfinohgbchlgdbfpikodjaojhccn"; const char kQuickOfficeExtensionId[] = "gbkeegbaiigmenfmjfclcdgdpimamgkj"; const char kMimeHandlerPrivateTestExtensionId[] = "oickdpebdnfbgkcaoklfcdhjniefkcji"; const char kProdHangoutsExtensionId[] = "nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd"; const char* const kHangoutsExtensionIds[6] = { kProdHangoutsExtensionId, "ljclpkphhpbpinifbeabbhlfddcpfdde", // Debug. "ppleadejekpmccmnpjdimmlfljlkdfej", // Alpha. "eggnbpckecmjlblplehfpjjdhhidfdoj", // Beta. "jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh", // Packaged App Debug. "knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl" // Packaged App Prod. // Keep in sync with _api_features.json and _manifest_features.json. }; // Error returned when scripting of a page is denied due to enterprise policy. const char kPolicyBlockedScripting[] = "This page cannot be scripted due to an ExtensionsSettings policy."; } // namespace extension_misc
The odd thing is that the source does not match the Chrome web store designation:
Hangouts ExtensionId Source name Web store name nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapdkProdHangoutsExtensionIdGoogle Hangouts ljclpkphhpbpinifbeabbhlfddcpfddeDebugGoogle Hangouts (Extension, Beta); GOOGLE CONFIDENTIAL – FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY ppleadejekpmccmnpjdimmlfljlkdfejAlphaGoogle Hangouts (Extension, Debug) eggnbpckecmjlblplehfpjjdhhidfdojBetaGoogle Hangouts (Extension, Alpha) jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoehPackaged App Debug404 error knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhplPackaged App ProdGoogle Hangouts; Hangouts Chrome App is deprecated. Please switch to the Hangouts Chrome Extension.
You can not start the extensions in a tab; they need to start their view through the extension.
So these links do not work:
