Chrome App - Pinned in Manifest

Question

I'm putting together a hosted Chrome app. Is it possible to specify the app as "pinned" in the manifest, so that when the user opens it, it is automatically opened as a pinned tab?

I saw this but I'm not sure if it would work with hosted apps...

Answer 1

No, it's impossible.

The docs link you gave is for only extensions. There is no option to make pinned the hosted app's tab in manifest.json for apps.
