I am trying to create a very simple web outlook add-ins (Using JavaScript + HTML5 + CSS). This is the same add-in described in the tutorial.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/quick-start?tabs=visual-studio
I am able to create the add-in and add it to Outlook 2016 web client. When I open the outlook web client and use the add-in, it works perfectly.
Now I am trying to add same add-in to Outlook 2016 client installed on Windows and MAC. On both the machines when I search and add the add-in (with add from file option), it gets added successfully. I get the “installed successfully “message. I even see it under “my add-ins” option. But it does not show up in the toolbar. When I again open the store and check the “my add-in” list, the add-in is disappeared form the list. This means it never got installed correctly.
Since I am new to this, I am not able to determine the reason or debug the issue. Is there any change I need to do to manifest file? Currently I am using the same manifest file for web client, windows and mac based client. Also how do I debug this?
Update:
Here is the manifest file I am using for registering add-in in web client. I am using the same file for windows and mac clients. Is the manifest file different?

When registering the add-in from desktop client, I am getting following certificate error:
But when I register it from web client it does not give me this error, even though the web server is same.
