How (and where) to upload manifest file? (Google Gmail Gadget)

Question

I'm new on this Gmail Gadget developments and I follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/gmail/contextual_gadgets

I follow the Hello World example, replacing the variables with my owns, generating the manifest, the specs, etc.

But when it comes to upload the manifest file, it's saying to go to http://code.google.com/googleapps/console/a/yourDomainName and log in there. Then there is a serie of steps depending on this one.

The problem here is, what is the address I have to put there? I did register on the Google Apps (for bussiness) and register a domain. Still that domain isn't work.

I found several people with the same problem and none gave them a solution:

Ok, so the Gmail Contextual Gadgets doc says "Gmail contextual gadgets can be listed for sale in the Google Apps Marketplace". The Google Apps Marketplace docs say apps can be published on the Chrome Web Store but the web store seems to want some sort of .json manifest file that doesn't fit the documentation for Contextual Gadgets (read: Google's documentation is terrible).

Instead, I found a section inside the developer's console on Contextual Gadgets. It's also different from the documentation, but seems like the right spot.

1. Open your Google developers console
2. Select or create a project
3. Open the Google Apps Marketplace SDK page
4. Click "Enable API"
5. Click "Configuration"
6. Check the box marked "Gmail contextual gadget extension"

There are then options to fill out info on the Contextual Gadget.
