My jquery file was rejected by a reviewer and no clue or hint given - weird

Add-ons addons.mozilla.org

Hello guys,
My add-on was rejected by a reviewer and the reason mentioned by him was that your version of jquery was modified.
After screwing my head for few hours, I got the result below. Please help

Rejected by erosman a day ago

This add-on didn’t pass review because of the following problems: 1) Your add-on includes a JavaScript library file that doesn’t match any versions known to us. We require all add-ons to use unmodified release versions. e.g.: js/jquery.js

Hello erosman, I am sure that the jquery.js is unmodified version of jquery downloaded from jquery website here is the link https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js. my chrome version is also using. I have renamed the file name and renaming file name doesn’t mean it has been modified. Please enable my extension as soon as possible and immediately. Regards, Mustafa H.

Hello man, Why don’t you send me the unmodified file ???

You need to download the library file from the original source (jquery.com) and be careful to not modify it. Sometimes just opening it in an IDE and saving it without any content change can change its encoding and break the hash.

Can you try downloading the file and checking the hash, to see if it matches what the reviewer pointed out?

Hey Jorgev,
Thanks for your response. I did what you suggested and it worked for me. I was copy pasting and there was an empty line at the end of file which was trimmed. Now I am getting accurate hash.
Thanks for the help
