Outlook 365 add-in only appears in Outlook 2013 client

问题

I have a problem to show my add-in in Outlook 2016. I developed it as a Office365 Add-in and it works like a charm in Outlook 2013. But at the time I wanted to test it in Outlook 2016 it does not show up in the 'Apps for Office' section.

I think I have to add something to the manifest.xml, but I don't know what. In Outlook 2013 it opens a task pane in the right corner. It would be nice if it would be the same in Outlook 2016.

My Outlook 2013/2016 Add-in .XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--Created:someid-->
<OfficeApp xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="MailApp">

I want to share my solution with you guys, who problably run into the same issue.

Here is my Manifest-XML file, which absolutely suits my needs:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--Created: <SOME ID> -->
<OfficeApp

 xmlns:mailappor="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.0"
 xsi:type="MailApp">
  <Id> <SOME ID> </Id>
  <Version>1.0.0.0</Version>
  <ProviderName>[Provider Name]</ProviderName>
  <DefaultLocale>en-US</DefaultLocale>
  <DisplayName DefaultValue="AppName" />
  <Description DefaultValue="Some text"/>
  <!-- Logo einfügen -->
  <HighResolutionIconUrl DefaultValue="<Link to your app logo>" />
  <Hosts>
    <Host Name="Mailbox" />
  </Hosts>
  <Requirements>
    <Sets>
      <Set Name="MailBox" MinVersion="1.1" />
    </Sets>
  </Requirements>
  <FormSettings>
    <Form xsi:type="ItemEdit">

      </DesktopSettings>
    </Form>
  </FormSettings>
  <Permissions>ReadWriteItem</Permissions>
  <Rule xsi:type="RuleCollection" Mode="Or">
    <Rule xsi:type="ItemIs" ItemType="Message" FormType="Edit" />

    </Resources>
  </VersionOverrides>
  <!-- end of code to support Outlook 2016 -->

</OfficeApp>

In addition to the code between the code to support Outlook 2016-comments, you have to be sure to add the 2 additional lines in the 'OfficeApp tag':

xmlns:bt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/officeappbasictypes/1.0"
xmlns:mailappor="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.0"

I tried to make this Manifest.XML as general as possible so you can easily adopt it to your own project.
