I am developing an outlook add-in targeting OWA, Outlook 2016 for Mac & Windows. Few month back when I started and testing the application, the small icon to activate the add-in was showing. But the icon is no more showing with same manifest and all setting same. Please refer the screenshot.No icon for my add-in but for Evernote

Is this part of any update from Microsoft? How I can fix it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, you sure the target icon url pointed by the manifest is correct and accessible ? – Benoit Patra
yes it is accessible and defined under <Resources> <bt:Images>. I just check again – Premchandra Singh
It is visible from the "outside" can you post the img link url here ? – Benoit Patra
Also you sure you are not messing up with multiple manifests ? I have multiple manifests for the same addin, debuging mode local with url like https://localhost:XXX, one preprod https://debug.myawesomeapp.com and prod https://app.myawesomeapp.com. Of course you need to use different GUIDS for AppId – Benoit Patra
I got the issue. I was missing the <IconUrl .../> element. An additional note here, <IconUrl .../> should be above <HighResolutionIconUrl ../> element otherwise manifest does not pass the validation. – Premchandra Singh

OWA uses the IconUrl in the section above version overrides because it uses the addin icon while Outlook desktop clients use the individual control icon. It looks like you found this but I just wanted to add this answer so it is more visible.
