Google Announces Chrome App Store

Google today has announced the formation of a Chrome Web Store, an open marketplace for developers to sell (yes I said sell) their web apps.

According to the announcement the new app store will be launching later this year with early invited going to developers. It is Google hope that the new Chrome Web Store will become a centralized repository for web based apps for Google Chrome users to quickly and easily find their favorite web apps.

Google has also promised developers will have the option to easily sell their apps through the store using a convenient and secure payment system. To find out how to prepare your web app for the store, read our preliminary documentation and join our developer discussion group.

Frequently asked questions

Are applications in the Chrome Web Store different from other web apps?

No. Web apps listed in the Chrome Web Store are regular web applications that are built with standard web tools and technologies. The same web applications will run in other modern browsers that support these technologies.

What's the advantage of "installing" an app from Chrome Web Store?

When Google Chrome users "install" a web application from the store, a convenient shortcut is added for quickly accessing the app. Installed web apps can also request advanced HTML5 permissions. For more information, read the preliminary documentation about installable web applications in Chrome.

How will I add my web application to the store?

We will invite developers to start adding their web apps later this year before the Chrome Web Store opens. To find out how to prepare your web app for the store, read our preliminary documentation and join our developer discussion group.

When is the Chrome Web Store opening?

The Chrome Web Store will be available for users and developers later this year. Subscribe to our developer discussion group and the Chromium blog for updates.
