title: chrome.identity User Authentication in a Chrome Extension
body: <p>I'm trying to write a chrome extension that requires user authentication.<br>
  <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/app_identity#update_manifest">Google's tutorial</a> suggests that I need to upload to the web store first to get a key:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>Login to the Google APIs Console using the same Google account used to 
    upload your app to the Chrome Web Store.</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I uploaded a non-functioning version to just get the key, but it's hanging there pending for over a week now. How could I get that key or somehow inspire Google to approve this app that I don't want on the Web Store? Am I doing this all wrong?</p>
