I had published a private addon on google spreadsheet. However, the problem is, I lost the app script source code for my addon. I need to make some changes and publish it again.

How can I possibly get/download the code from the spreadsheet addon that I published on the chrome web-store?

I tried looking on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard where there is a list of all my addons published but there's no option for reading the source code. A quick google search reveals nothing regarding this. Any suggestions?

I figured out a way to find the code.

From your developer dashboard: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard

click on more info and then click to download the main.crx file for the addon you're interested in.

main.crx is a zip file which you should be able to unzip. On linux or mac you can do it from the command line unzip yourfilename_main.crx

open up manifest.json and look for "container_id" the string after that is the file ID of your script.

It's not possible to get the source code from the Chrome Web Store. Instead you have to find the file that holds your Google Apps Script project. Take a look to the Trash of your Google Drive. For further details see Find or recover a file - Google Drive Help
