Currently, my development process is:
1. zipping my code
2. uploading it at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard, clicking publish
3. repeatedly clicking on "update extenstions now" at chrome://extensions/ to update the app which can take up to 60 minutes.
Is there a better way to do this? Waiting upto 60 minutes make dev very slow.
The official documentation shows how to use developer mode to quickly load and launch your app/extension without having to finalize a distribution package:
Open chrome://extensions
from the Chrome omnibox or via Settings
and enable [x] Developer mode
check box.
Drag'n'drop your app/extension folder onto the chrome://extensions
page
or click Load unpacked extension
and choose your app/extension folder
Click Launch
or use Chrome App Launcher
