Google Chrome Extension Store tester accounts-but how?

I uploaded the extension to the store, and added email address for tester accounts. I published the extension to the testers. Now what will happen? I thought Google would send them invitation mails but clearly this is not the case.

ALso, how many tester ac开发者_开发百科counts can we add?

I had the same problem (testers not being automatically notified) and found a solution/work-around:

1. Have each of your testers Sign In to https://chrome.google.com/webstore
2. Give them the direct link to your extension (i.e. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/your-long-extension-ID-goes-here)

Info source: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/publish?csw=1#publishing-to-test-accounts

There is a button at the bottom of your app to "Publish to test accounts" It is all explained at the documentation which is Step 9

Just give it time to publish and tester can access with the direct link
