I have successfully created a Native Client app that works using localhost and works once posted to the Chrome App Store.
I now need to find a way to embed this app in a web page outside of the App Store, which currently fails.
I've read that the usage of the nacl_io and specifically sockets is ONLY accessible when published via the Chrome App Store?
I also came across this https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/apps (I know it's essentially discontinued). Is there a replacement that could work? Or is it just the Chrome App Store?
The <embed> tag is mentioned here (https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/devguide/coding/application-structure). Am I right in saying even if we got this to load the .hmf file and communicate with the .pexe that it would still fail when using sockets due to the application not being passed through the Chrome App Store?
Any advice is welcome
Socket access is only allowed for applications in the Chrome Web Store. Similarly, Native Client applications (e.g. using a .nexe file) are also only allowed on the Chrome Web Store.
You can run a Portable Native Client (PNaCl) application on the open web, but it will not have access to the socket API.
nacl_io is still available to use. It's only the socket API that will fail if you try to use it.
You can still use the URLLoader and WebSocket APIs, though. Perhaps these will be enough for your application?
