Treat the code as an index
Start with the full notice, affected version, policy citation, and official troubleshooting entry. Preserve the rejected ZIP before changing anything.
Chrome currently maps Blue Argon to suspected remote hosted code, Purple Potassium to excessive permissions, Yellow Magnesium to functionality or packaging problems, and Purple Lithium or Purple Nickel to user-data disclosure concerns.
Build an evidence table
For each allegation, record package evidence, store metadata, observed runtime behavior, official requirement, planned change, and verification. Separate facts from inference.
A missing referenced file can produce Yellow Magnesium; a case-sensitive path that worked locally may fail in the uploaded package. Purple Potassium should trigger a feature-by-feature permission review, not automatic deletion of required access.
Synthetic example
Synthetic response record
Notice: Blue Argon
Evidence: options.html loads https://cdn.example.test/app.js
Change: bundle app.js into /vendor/app.js
Verification: final ZIP search + offline functional test
Fix the underlying behavior
Change the package, disclosure, or listing that caused the issue. Do not disguise a pattern, rename a domain, or resubmit unchanged.
Run regression tests and scan the final ZIP. If the notice is unclear, ask the store for clarification using concise evidence and exact version details.
Respond without promising approval
Describe the root cause, exact changed files or fields, and verification performed. Keep screenshots or build records that a reviewer can follow.
No checklist, scanner, or prior approval guarantees that a later version will pass. Store policy and reviewer judgment remain authoritative.
