Update for Edge Extensions On Android?

[skcruz]

Hi there! I recall last year that Microsoft was testing Edge extensions on mobile (Android). At the time, you had referenced a process that needed to be followed to ensure your extension was made available on Android:

1. Be published on Edge Add-on store.
2. Have clear user value statement for mobile browser users.
3. Confirm itself ready for Edge android usage, which means it has verified its core functions on Edge Android. You can test and debug your extension based on the attached guidance.
4. Provide core function test cases for Edge Android's QA team to run regular test. You can refer to the attached test case template and case to prepare the test cases.
5. When you are well prepared with requirements 1~4, you can submit your request via this Forms link. And we'll get back to you as soon as possible when there is an update.

Are these steps still required, or are all Edge extensions now available on Android by default? Thank you!

Hi @skcruz the steps you listed are still required for official Edge Android availability, extensions are not automatically available on Android just because they are published on the Edge Add-ons store.

Below are the updated steps:

To get added to Edge mobile app, an extension needs to:

1. Be published on Edge Add-on store. (You can refer to this link for guidance: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions/publish/publish-extension)
2. Have clear user value statement for mobile browser users.
3. Confirm itself ready for Edge Android/iOS usage, which means it has verified its core
   functions on Edge Android/iOS. (You can test and debug your extension based on
   the attached guidance.)
4. Provide core function test cases for Edge Android's QA team to run regular test. You
   can refer to the attached test case template and case to prepare the test cases.

After an extension developer is ready with the prerequisites mentioned above, he can
submit his request via this Forms link: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR8G-LK4A-v5AgScqcFFv6_RUM0RMRDgzUENURDE0UzA2RlhIRUk0S0xIMy4u&route=shorturl

@Rahul-Bauri thanks for all the information! Can you attach/link to the test case template so everyone can access it? It is not included in your message nor is it included in the form itself.
