Hello,

We are developing an Outlook Addin in pure html and javascript and are using the manifest created by 'yo'.

Everything works fine when trying to add and use the add-in as a custom add in by loading the manifest from the URL.

However when we add the AppDomains element to specify which domains the add-in can navigate to, the add-in is not being accepted.

This is our manifest with the AppDomains:

http://www.kwiltapp.com/download/manifest-kwilt.xml

The error is:

"This app can't be installed. The manifest file doesn't conform to the schema definition. The element 'OfficeApp' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1' has invalid child element 'AppDomains' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1'. List of possible elements expected: any element in namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#'..."

Hi imecoltd,

>> are using the manifest created by 'yo'.

How did you create this manifest? In my option, I would suggest you use the Manifest Designer to set or modify one or more of the properties.

As my test, it seems the xml element might be invalid when xml elements in a wrong order.

I suggest you try below manifest.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<OfficeApp xsi:type="MailApp" xmlns:bt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/officeappbasictypes/1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1">
  <Id>45774c5b-f7a6-4593-bd71-66279cb54444</Id>
  <Version>1.0.0.0</Version>
  <ProviderName>MyAddin</ProviderName>
  <DefaultLocale>en-US</DefaultLocale>
  <DisplayName DefaultValue="MyAddin"/>
  <Description DefaultValue="My Outlook Addin"/>
  <IconUrl DefaultValue="https://localhost/images/kwilt_icon_64x64.png"/>
  <HighResolutionIconUrl DefaultValue="https://localhost/images/kwilt_icon_128x128.png"/>
  <SupportUrl DefaultValue="http://www.kwilt.it/community"/>  
  <AppDomains>
    <AppDomain>https://accounts.kwilt.it</AppDomain>
  </AppDomains>
  <Hosts>
    <Host Name="Mailbox"/>
  </Hosts>
  <Requirements>
    <Sets>
      <Set Name="MailBox" MinVersion="1.1"/>
    </Sets>
  </Requirements>
  <FormSettings>
    <Form xsi:type="ItemEdit">
      <DesktopSettings>
        <SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://localhost/msoffice/outlook/appcompose/home/home.html"/>
      </DesktopSettings>
    </Form>
  </FormSettings>
  <Permissions>ReadWriteItem</Permissions>
  <Rule xsi:type="ItemIs" FormType="Edit" ItemType="Message"/>
  <DisableEntityHighlighting>false</DisableEntityHighlighting>
  <VersionOverrides xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides"> </VersionOverrides>
</OfficeApp>

Hi,

You can also use "Office App Compatibility Kit" to verify your manifest file for any possible or unknown error.

Following is the link to download:(Read the install instruction tab for help running this)

That was the problem. The order!

Having AppDomains at the end was not acceptable. Moving it to after 'SupportURL' fixed the problem.

Thank you.
