   4 This documentation tells you how to write Chrome Apps.
   5 All developers, however, should know that the new APIs
   6 for Chrome Apps are being released as a developer preview.
   7 This means that they are evolving daily,
   8 and anything you read now might be different in the near future.
   9 Please keep up to date with the API reference and documentation.

  13 <b>Note:</b>
  14 If you've written packaged apps before,
  15 your <a href="/extensions/apps">legacy packaged apps</a>
  16 will still work the way they always have,
  17 but they won't have access to the new APIs.

  20 <h2 id="common">Common platform</h2>
  21
  22 <p>
  23 Chrome Apps and extensions share a common platform.
  24 They can access many of the same APIs and
  25 they have the same manifest and permissions format.
  26 If you're familiar with the
  27 <a href="/extensions/index">Chrome Extension docs</a>,
  28 then the Reference docs should seem familiar.
  29 Many of the reference docs are shared;
  30 we've filtered accessibility to docs that aren't.
