Comment 1

Having grepped the full source code, here is a list of missing APIs:
- chrome.app.getDetails
- chrome.extension.connect (not documented in Chrome)
- chrome.extension.onConnect (not documented in Chrome)
- chrome.tabs.onSelectionChanged

Also, the various calls to chrome.management in the codebase are all commented out, as well as the call to chrome.extension.onMessageExternal.

After a bit of digging it looks like the extension code itself aliases extension.connect and onConnect to runtime (https://gist.github.com/bobsilverberg/cb1529a0d4cfcb4890eeefe5efe29802).

Based on comment 1 and the lack of blocking bugs, looks like this is done and closing. If anyone does more testing and finds more bugs, please comment or re-open.
