Button does not appear on IE

Question

I have an extension that adds a button to the browser and it work in Chrome. When I install the extension on Internet Explorer the button does not appear. What am I doing wrong? My code looks like this:

appAPI.ready(function() {
    appAPI.browserAction.onClick(function() {..});
});

Answer 1

To correctly initialize the button, you must add the button icon using appAPI.browserAction.setResourceIcon as stated in the Crossrider API docs. Hence, first add an icon image (e.g. icon.png) to the extension's resources and set it as the icons button, as follows:

appAPI.ready(function() {
    appAPI.browserAction.setResourceIcon('icon.png');
    appAPI.browserAction.onClick(function() {..});
});

Have you verified if your extension is visible in IE?

Does the IE console show any errors?

Here's the documentation I found in debugging issues in IE:
