OWA add-in on iOS

Question

Hi.

I have difficulties with getting owa add-in to work on iOS devices. It does not appear at all.  However it works good in browsers and outlook client.

Is it neccessary to install add-in from office store to make add-in visible on IOS devices?

I would be glad if someone could help me with it or gave me direction where to look.

Thank you in advance.

>>>Is it neccessary to install add-in from office store to make add-in visible on IOS devices?

According to your description, specifically for OWA for Devices, and Outlook Web App running in a browser on smartphones and non-Windows tablet devices, Client requirements are required for testing and running Outlook add-ins. So I suggest that you could check Requirements for running Office Add-ins.

Thanks for your understanding.

I was talking about OWA on iOS devices in Safari.

IOS 9+

Hello Roman,

Over there is resource which describes Office Add-in host and platform availability

 Basically add-in on iOS would work in Outlook for Web, browser version. iOS Outlook application is not ready to work with add-ins. If you have an issue with your add-in to be displayed under iOS (in Safari browser), I would suspect you didn't indicate in your application manifest that your app supports devices. Please check your manifest includes the following entries inside <FormSettings/><Form/> ...

      <DesktopSettings>
        <SourceLocation DefaultValue="~remoteAppUrl/AppRead/Home.html"/>
        <RequestedHeight>250</RequestedHeight>
      </DesktopSettings>
      <TabletSettings>
        <SourceLocation DefaultValue="~remoteAppUrl/AppRead/Home.html" />
        <RequestedHeight>250</RequestedHeight>
      </TabletSettings>
      <PhoneSettings>
        <SourceLocation DefaultValue="~remoteAppUrl/AppRead/Home.html" />
      </PhoneSettings>

Hope this helps,
