Questions tagged [google-chrome-app]

Don't use this tag for PWA or the Chrome app/binary itself! Use this tag only for apps built using Chrome App specification. Just like web apps, Chrome Apps are written in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, yet they look and behave like native apps, and they have native-like capabilities that are much more powerful than those available to web apps.

Note: Chrome Apps are to be discontinued by early 2018 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. However, they will still be supported on Chrome OS.

Google Chrome Apps deliver an experience as capable as a native app, but as safe as a web page. Just like web applications, Chrome Apps are written in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. But Chrome Apps look and behave like native applications, and they have native-like capabilities that are much more powerful than those available to web applications.

Chrome Apps are distinct from Chrome Extensions; use the tag if you want to ask a question about Chrome extensions.

Note: Chrome for mobile platforms ("Chrome app") is not covered by this tag. Use the tag for questions regarding mobile Chrome.

Chrome Apps have access to Chrome APIs and services not available to traditional web sites. You can build powerful apps that interact with network and hardware devices, media tools, and much more. Here's a short list of examples:

Working samples and examples can be found on GitHub as well as a step-by-step guide.

The term "Chrome app" used to refer to legacy "packaged apps", which is deprecated in favour of Chrome apps.
