I am developing a web add-on for Outlook, and during testing I've found a bug that only manifests within a native Windows Outlook applicaiton (in my case, Outlook 2016), but not within a browser. Is there a way to troubleshoot (inspect, console log, etc.) the add-on from inside of Outlook 2016?

I know it looks a superficial question, but I really would like to know how to start developing addins for excel on Ipads. What should I download and how to install my addins into an iPad? I didn't find this on google...
I would like to introduce you the office JS add-in,
You can use the Office Add-ins platform to build solutions that extend Office applications and interact with content in Office documents. Your solution can run in Office across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, iPad, and in a browser.
I would recommend you to create an Office Add-in by using the Yeoman generator for Office Add-ins
You can refer to this document for sideloading your add-in solution in IPad
And debug your add-in on iPad can be found at here
We created a simple PowerPoint content add-in. As the documentation says, content add-ins should work in the Office 2013 and newer:
Content add-ins are supported in Excel and PowerPoint in Office 2013 version and later. If you open an add-in in a version of Office that doesn’t support Office web add-ins, the add-in will be displayed as an image.
It works as expected for most of our clients but for some of them it doesn't work in a strange way:
when PowerPoint is in the edit mode, all is ok, the content add-in is rendered and it is interactive
after PowerPoint is switched to the present mode, only a non-interactive screenshot/image of that content (previously displayed in the edit mode) is rendered and users are not able to make any interaction
Even the official Microsoft Web Viewer content add-in on that particular computer doesn't work - all web pages are displayed as screenshots in the present mode.
Any ideas why it works fine on most of the computers and on some doesn't?
SW versions installed on that "problematic" computer:
PowerPoint 2013 (15.0.5093.100)
Windows: Windows 10 Home (1803, build 17134.523)
Internet Explorer 11: 11.523.17134.0
Do you know if this is possible to create a VSTO add-in for excel in an office 365 suite (on desktop, of course)?
Officially, it says it is supported.
But, if I create an empty project on VisualStudio with the default "Office 2013 & 2016 VSTO add-in", it does not load.
But, it works on other machines, with excel 2016.
Can you help me with this?
I already tried many things. And, it seems that the add-in does not even show in the list of COM add-ins in the setup menu. It's not disabled; and, if I look at the registry, the load behavior is 3.
The only strange thing that I found is that when I try to link manually the .dll file using the "add-in" menu, it says that the dll is not a valid excel add-in.
But, if I do it another way and click to the .vsto file, the explorer says that the add-in has been installed correctly..
Thanks a lot
My Office Add-In (Word, Excel) is only loaded successfully when started the office desktop client (2013, 2016) as Administrator.
When not started as Admin we get this error:
"ADD-IN ERROR: This Add-In could not be loaded... Close and Click on Reload."
We face this error in the newest versions of Office 2013 and Office 2016.
What we have tried:
Enabled Protected Mode in Internet Explorer
Deleted Wef directory of Office
Updated Office versions
Any ideas why the Add-In could not be started?
The problem is starting as Administrator is no more possible since Visual Studio 16.6.2 - only IIS Express not as Administrator is supported.
Previously we used IIS which only worked when started as Administrator.
In the solution properties of a newly created Office AddIn there are now multiple startup projects:
I tried this in my solution - also switched to IIS Express and used localhost web adress.
We also had to use Action = Start to avoid this error:
This is not a solution - just a work around - starting as Administrator and using IIS does not work anymore :(

I have written a small officeJS addin for excel which run perfectly on desktop excel client. Also office online gives an option of installing the addin from the ribbon menu. I want to do the same for microsoft sharepoint server 2016 which can be maintained centrally by an administrator. The addins options is available in office online, but not available through sharepoint, PFA image.
Try this. On a server in the farm, open the SharePoint Management Shell (PowerShell). Run this command:
Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm - OfficeAddinEnabled:$true
You probably have to be logged in as a farm administrator.
There is some documentation here: Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm
