  • It's probably broken, then. You can look at debug messages at `chrome://extensions/` in Developer Mode and `chrome://inspect/#apps`, and see if there are any errors to report to Google. It's still in Developer Preview, after all. – Xan Apr 06 '15 at 09:23
  • chrome://inspect/#apps -it shows nothing , but chrome://extensions/ shows "There were warnings when trying to install this extension: 'minimum_chrome_version' is only allowed for extensions, hosted apps, legacy packaged apps, and packaged apps, but this is a shared module. Unrecognized manifest key 'arc_build_tag'." under ARChon Custom Runtime 1.2 - x86_64 – Yuvaraj V Apr 06 '15 at 09:39
  • From there you can open the Dev Tools view for the open ARC welder window (that you say is blank). There are probably errors in there. – Xan Apr 06 '15 at 09:40
  • how can i open dev tools view for the open ARC welder window ..? – Yuvaraj V Apr 06 '15 at 09:45
  • In any case, Google is wrong to funnel those questions here. We (non-Google developers) can't really help - what kind of answer do you expect? [File a bug](http://goo.gl/megdlG) instead. I don't think this question should remain here. – Xan Apr 06 '15 at 09:47
  • no friend , i'm not saying Google developers are here.. but many programmer are here to solve this kind problems ,so that only i posted this question for help here.. so don't take me wrong friend.. – Yuvaraj V Apr 06 '15 at 09:54

I had the same thing and shivaraj's comment mentioning 'ARChon Custom Runtime' gave me a tip. I'd forgotten I'd installed this so I completely removed it from Chrome, re-installed ARC Welder and now it loads without issue.

  • your answer looks confusing me... Its not clear... friend can please explain your answer clearly ... Thanks for your response... – Yuvaraj V Apr 08 '15 at 06:04
  • Some time ago I installed the ARChon Custom Runtime (from here: [ARChon Runtime for Chrome](http://archon-runtime.github.io/)) in an attempt to get android apps working on Windows like the ARC welder does. I assumed you had too. I had to uninstall that from chrome to get ARC Welder working. Any clearer? – kitstable Apr 09 '15 at 08:44

How I solved this on MAC OSX:

  1. Remove ARC from the chrome: chrome://extensions
  2. Open terminal, run this: open ~/Applications/Chrome\ Apps.localized/
  3. Remove from this folder any app that you installed before to ARC Welder.
  4. Re-add the extension to your chrome from this link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/arc-welder/emfinbmielocnlhgmfkkmkngdoccbadn
