Hi there.

I recently enabled the new "Verified CRX Uploads" feature for one of our extensions. However, after reviewing our current deployment workflow, we’ve determined that this added security layer isn't necessary for our use case.

The issue is that I’m not an admin on our group publisher account, and now our team is blocked from using our existing CI/CD pipeline, which relies on uploading unsigned ZIPs via the Web Store API.

Could you please let me know:

Is there a way to revert or disable the Verified CRX Uploads feature for our extension?
If so, does it require an admin to perform this action?
If not, what are our options to resume using the previous upload process?

Thanks for your support, and please let me know if you need any further details.

Hi,

The setting can be reverted by reaching out to Chrome Web Store support (link). There isn't a predefined option for this, so you'll have to select "Something else" and mention that you'd like to opt out of "Verified CRX Uploads". As long as you're a registered developer in the group publisher, you should be able to do this.
