TAP Chrome Extension Manifest Issue

Due to changes to the Google Chrome extensions platform, all extensions running under Manifest V2 have been automatically disabled (sometimes even removed from the profile extensions altogether). While we are working on fully resolving this issue, customers can use the following workaround.

This only affects customers running version 138+ of Google Chrome. Previous versions still allow enabling or installing the extension manually. If your TAP Chrome Extension shows as "enabled" no further actions are currently required.

In case your extension has been removed or cannot be turned on (enabled button is grayed out), please follow these steps:

1. Open a new Chrome tab and navigate to chrome://extensions

2. Remove the Tailent Automation Extension by clicking the remove button from the Tailent Extension. If you cannot find the extension it has probably been removed automatically by Chrome and you can skip this step

3. Ensure that Developer Mode is turned on by clicking the switch in the upper right portion of the window

4. Open a new Chrome tab and navigate to chrome://flags and type "manifest" in the search bar of the newly opened tab

5. Find "Allow legacy extension manifest version" and select Enabled

6. Restart Google Chrome

7. Download the unpacked version of the extension at https://tailent-share.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/TAP_Chrome_1.21.4.2_0.zip

8. Unzip the archive to a convenient location (such as the desktop)

9. In the extensions tab opened at step #1, click the Load Unpacked (top left portion of the chrome extensions tab)

10. In the select folder dialog, navigate to the directory where you unziped the archive above (the one containing the manifest.json file) and click Select Folder

11. The extension should now be installed and enabled as shows:

12. Test the extension is running correctly by checking running processes and looking for TAP.Chrome.Extension.exe

The extension is now fully operational and can be used again. Please check regurarly as we will update the extension to manifest V3 to provide a permanent solution.
