Chrome packaged apps is available in the Chrome Web Store for anyone.
Before we introduce you to this new feature, let's make a flashback. In fact a few months ago, the team behind Chrome had announced
the developer
preview of Chrome packaged
apps and the Chrome App Launcher.
This means you can upload your Chrome packaged apps to the Chrome Web Store and
test the app install flow. However, like it is mentioned on its BlogSpot, a
Chrome packaged app was accessible only if you
had a direct link to it, not via
searching and browsing the store.Henceforth, this problem is solved. Chrome packaged apps will be available in the Chrome Web Store for anyone on Chrome's developer channel on Windows and Chrome OS.
This also means a new category, called
“Websites”, contains all existing hosted
apps and legacy packaged
apps.
Note: Many of these apps are
works in progress.
