https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/crx is the documentation that mentions the signing. There are a couple of scripts there that will create a signed .crx file. I also wrote one a while ago[0]. I don't know how crx files integrate with Google's developer account or Google store / play / whatever stuff, as I've not used them, but IIRC if you distribute the extension yourself, any updates have to be signed by the same private key. 0. http://git.njw.me.uk/cgit/cgit.cgi/simplyread/tree/chromium/makecrx.sh -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
