I made a Webextension. I uploaded it as unlisted. The automated review was swift and it passed save for a warning advising against using jQuery 1.x
I see the .xpi in my list. When I click on it, the install process starts and the progress bar quickly reaches 100%, however it stays there forever, the “install” button remaining greyed out.
In Firefox, in the Add-Ons menu, I see that the extension is there, with a status of “Downloading”, and stays that way forever.
No other feedback appears whatsoever.
In the browser console I see
11:56:06.935 A promise chain failed to handle a rejection. Did you forget to '.catch', or did you forget to 'return'?

I let everything brew for a couple of minutes, just in case : no change.
I can download the .xpi and tried to use the menu “install from file”. I can select the file, then nothing happens at all.
When I install the raw webextension in debug mode, everything is fine.
A couple of days ago I successfully used the same process to upload and install another a much simpler webextension and it went through like a breeze.
In spite, I deleted it and resubmited it as “listed” : currently awaiting full review.
So, in spite of AMO lending you a guiding hand throughout, is it still possible that I missed a step ? Could it be that the gentle warning is in fact a big no-no ?
Was the process recently broken ?
