I'm updating my Chrome extension to use Firebase for authorization and database support and this page tells me I need the extension's item ID, which I have, and its public key, which I don't. I recall that the public key used to be visible in the developer dashboard, but I don't see it anymore. Where can I find it and why did Google remove it?

    You can copy it from manifest.json of this extension installed from the web store. It's in the browser profile directory. – wOxxOm Oct 08 '20 at 06:27
  • @wOxxOm I don't understand what you're saying. What's the "browser profile directory"? Also, it's not in manifest.json. All that's there is what I put into it. – FractalBob Oct 09 '20 at 10:13

    If you google up "browser profile directory" you can find a tutorial. Inside this directory you will see `Extensions`, there you'll find your extension as served by the web store so its manifest.json will have `key`. – wOxxOm Oct 09 '20 at 10:16
  • @wOxxOm How can I close my question and give you the credit? – FractalBob Oct 11 '20 at 10:06

  • @wOxxOm I didn't see anything at the link that would help. – FractalBob Oct 12 '20 at 11:56
  • The answer I've linked says "Key is available in the new UI --> Package on left side menu --> Public Key" – wOxxOm Oct 12 '20 at 12:11
  • @wOxxOm I see that, but the answer wasn't provided by you and in any case, I'm unable to to give that person credit,although I did give him an upvote. – FractalBob Oct 13 '20 at 15:02
