Getting started with Kiosk Troubleshooting Tools

Inspect and debug companion Chrome extensions.

Task 5

5 minutes

In the kiosk app, we can use a companion extension to access certain APIs that are only available through a Chrome extension but not the open web. Examples of such APIs include the display API and deviceAttributes.

If you do not have access to the kiosk device and are connected via Remote Desktop:

  1. Click on the arrow widget in the middle right of the screen and click on Open new Chrome window.

If you have physical access to a keyboard connected to the kiosk device:

  1. Use the following keyboard shortcut keys in order to open a new window: ctrl + n.

Once you have opened a new Chrome window:

  1. In the browser, go to chrome://extensions to see all installed extensions.
  2. In the top right corner, Toggle Enable developer mode.
  3. Additional information about each extension will appear: version, extension ID, permissions, etc.
