Currently I have an outlook add-in that works great on the web version of Outlook and desktop version of Outlook on the mac. The add-in also works fine on multiple web browsers with outlook online (IE11 included). However, for certain windows users, the desktop Outlook add-in fails to work correctly. In particular, links do not work in the desktop version. Per the docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/browsers-used-by-office-web-add-ins if my add-in works in IE 11 web browser, it should work in the desktop app.
Can anyone provide links to help me troubleshoot the add-in on the desktop version of windows? I am at a complete loss as to why it would work in IE11 but not on the desktop version of outlook.
This add in was started with the yeoman generator if that helps.

But now I want to deploy in an organisation so they will be able to use it I followed the deployment doc of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/publish/publish#:~:text=Outlook%20add%2Din%20deployment,Outlook%202013%20or%20later
But I am unable to get how to deploy it I am going around and round reading there documentation.
Can anyone suggest me step or tell me which site to follow for clear vision on deploying outlook add-in or which software to use for deployment. Thank you
You need to upload your add-in's manifest to the Exchange admin center, so the add-in will be available for all Exchange users. To assign add-ins to a tenant, you should use the Exchange admin center to upload a manifest, either from a file or a URL, or add an add-in from AppSource.

I have deployed an Office Add-in and uploaded through the O365 Admin Center
The Add-In appears in the Excel Ribbon but can use it as a message appears “We could not open the Add-In from LocalHost.
Should I modify anything in the Manifest File?
The Add-In was created with Yeoman and it´s addressed to “LocalHost:3000”. It´s just a template (taskpane example)
Many thanks in advance!!!

You have to host the add-in somewhere before you can deploy it to Office 365. Here is some Microsoft documentation of how to deploy the add-in to Azure https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-static-website. The cost of this is low since it is just blob storage. Once it is deployed replace the URL in the manifest with the URL you get after deploying. Hope this helps!
I need an Outlook add-in for both Desktop and Mobile and my company uses IMAP for email. But according to the official overview in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/add-in-requirements, Outlook Add-ins is not supported for IMAP connected clients. So I've searched a little bit and found VSTO for desktop. It seems okay for now but I found out that it is only for desktop. Hence, I need a way to build an add-in for Outlook mobile which can be used by IMAP connected clients.
I am new to Windows app development. I am building a C# app targeting UWP desktop & mobile platforms. I have read these links MSDN-Link 1 & MSDN-Link 2
Both these links doesnt seem to talk anything about running WACK tests for mobile. Any useful info will be highly appreciated.
I am building a C# app targeting UWP desktop & mobile platforms.
WACK test is now enabled for the UWP workflows, there is no need to care the device platform, whether your app runs on desktop or mobile does not change UWP workflows, you can directly publish your app to store after WACK test for UWP app is finished.
I've just written a Silverlight app and want to deploy it. This app is NOT to be hosted at a website. It is supposed to be a standalone app, just like a standalone WPF app for Windows, but (if I understand Silverlight correctly) it can run on both Windows and Mac.
I've created a .xap file. What do I do with this file to get the app installed? Thanks.
You do need to install it from a website as it still requires the Silverlight environment provided by the browser plugin.
It is the browser plugin that provides the OOB (Out Of Browser) mode.
I gather Adobe Air has the same requirements for apps.
In addition to what #HiTech Magic stated, you can also create a standalone installer for silverlight OOB apps using SLLauncher.exe.
