Outlook 365 addin throws 401 unauthorized error on android outlook mobile app

I am developing Outlook Add-In that will run over all modern browsers, android and iOS.

I am using Managed EWS API to fetch the email and its attachment by passing ewsUrl, itemId and ewsToken in OAuthCredentials class which is my remote service.

I am getting ewsToken by using Office.js getCallbackTokenAsync method from UI and passing all this information to my remote service to use the Managed EWS API to fetch email from exchange server.

For browsers it works fine but when we use Outlook Mobile on Android, ewsUrl returns null which I hard-coded to https://outlook.office365.com/ews/exchange.asmx but now I am getting 401 unauthorized error.

How can I identify if ewsToken or itemId is wrong?

It fails even for the hard-coded URL, because getCallbackTokenAsync() on iOS/Android returns REST-compatible token even when the isRest parameter is not specified (see this discussion) - Alex Klaus

Per the documentation, EWS functions are not supported by Outlook for Android or Outlook for iOS. This includes ewsUrl, convertToEwsId and other methods related to calling into EWS.

I recommend visiting the UserVoice and adding your suggestion.
