Description

I have configured everything as it should be, install the extension on app-ready, before creating the window. I see the errors below and i see the global object for redux devtool on window object. But no tab in devtools appearing. Refreshing the app does not help. I see that a fix was merged adding the new extensions api but no release was cut? Not sure if that would help.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing Redux DevTools tab with Electron 37, installing the extension at app-ready before creating the window. Inspect the reported extension-loading and renderer errors and the newer Electron extensions API; done means the tab appears in DevTools without the reported failure.
