CHROMEBOOK: No Chrome AppConnection. Uploading is disabled until you reconnect

[pmenzies10]

In create.arduino.cc (code online) there is an error message:

No Chrome App Connection.   Uploading is disable until you reconnect.

There is a button to install an app.  The app is Arduino Create which has a fee.   Everything I read said I could program from a chromebook with the free tools.  


Have connected with support from Elegoo (since the board came in an Elegoo kit) and twice they have failed to understand that this is for a Chromebook which has very little control over the USB port.

Many internet searches indicate it is easy to use the web editor with a Chromebook to connect yet none of the solutions have worked so far.

If you updated your OS at all recently there was a small issue that appears to have broken the app.
I know they are working hard to fix the issue.
