The Gmail add-on https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.addons.execute
scope is no longer required for Gmail

add-on's manifest.

All add-ons are now in the G Suite Marketplace.
To streamline the add-on discovery experience for users in the G Suite Marketplace, publication of both public and private add-ons to the Chrome Web Store is deprecated. Chrome extensions continue to be presented in the Chrome Web Store and aren't affected by this change.

This documentation set was created by migrating existing pages out of the Apps Script documentation. The Add-on documentation has been moved in an effort to make add-ons more discoverable and improve site navigation.
