The end of support for Chrome apps has been a long time coming — Google announced more than two years ago that it was going to start winding things down.
The Chrome Web Store has already been stripped of the App section on Windows, macOS and Linux, and now Google has announced that it is to be pulled from Chrome OS too. The company has also revealed the dates on which support will be dropped completely for all platforms.
Unsurprisingly, it is Chrome OS users that will enjoy support for longer, but over the course of the next couple of years Google will be “phasing out support for Chrome Apps across all operating systems”. Later this year, no new submission will be accepted in the Chrome Web Store, and by the middle of the year Chrome Apps on Windows, macOS and Linux will no longer be supported.
