Chrome : Native messaging Error: Access to the specified native messaging host is forbidden

chrome-native-messaging, google-chrome, google-chrome-extension, javascript

Solution

According to the docs you need to explicitely give your extension access to the NativeMessagingHost in the latter's manifest:

"allowed_origins": [
    "chrome-extension://<your_extension's_ID>/"
]

Problem

I am running the Native messaging sample app. (http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/nativeMessaging/). I have added registry key ``` HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.google.chrome.example.echo ``` When i am connecting to native host i am getting error: ``` Failed to connect: Access to the specified native messaging host is forbidden. ```
