We are trying to submit our first office addin for outlook to the store but are getting rejected due to Outlook webaccess 2013. We are trying to use the 1.3 api which should not be supported in 2013 but the validation team is still testing for owa 2013.
On this page microsoft clearly states that 1.1 is required for OWA 2013. http://dev.office.com/reference/add-ins/outlook/tutorial-api-requirement-sets
The comment from the validation team is: Your add-in is not working in the Outlook 2013 client on Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 11. The user is unable to authenticate to Hogia. After authenticating to O365 and then to Hogia, the authentication pop ups close, but the user is not logged in.
The 404 error is no longer seen in a Fiddler trace, but the user is not logged in to the taskpane, and the add-in is not usable.
If you do not support 2013 SP1 because you are using an API only available in 2016/Online, you must put these apis in the requirements tag in your manifest. If you are not using an API only available in 2016/Online, then you must support 2013 SP1.
Provided below is our anonymous manifest. Any ideas on how to restrict the addin to only 1.3. Is it maybe the xml-namespace that also should be 1.3?
