When trying to use chromeapp:samples I'm getting the following error:

They use comment in JSON to explain you what to do. see: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples/blob/master/samples/identity/manifest.json. at this time, you need to download and use the sample manually without the yeoman generator

[jvgeee]

So does that mean the generator is currently non-functioning and chrome:samples can't be used with yeoman?

[ragingwind]

No. a few of samples can/might be had an issue like identity But It doesn't mean that You can't use all samples. I will make a new issue for this. Samples list could be filtered.

@jascination I think It works well now. I've patched for this 7f7c87e
