Can a chrome app run a local program?
Now that chrome apps can deliver experiences close to native apps, but I haven't been able to find a way to run local commands from chrome app yet. Is there any API for this that could be used after the user has given permission? How can I do that?

Basically possible with Native Messaging .
You can have your own app specifically designed to communicate with your Chrome app, but the downside is that the native component cannot be linked to the app in the online store. You will have to use a separate installer.
Note that the above documentation is for extensions, but the corresponding calls are also mentioned in the application documentation.
