Can't set a test license token in an Outlook addin - outlook

Question

I'm trying to set a test license token in an Outlook add-in. According to the documentation, I have to set it in the SourceLocation in the manifest file:
<Form xsi:type="ItemRead">
<DesktopSettings>
<SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://localhost:3000?et=%3Cr%3E%0A%20%20%3..."/>
<RequestedHeight>250</RequestedHeight>
</DesktopSettings>
</Form>
The problem is, when I try to get the URL query params, it won't work. window.location looks like this:
https://localhost:3000/?et=
Any idea why it's happening?
When I update the source location of the Action ShowTaskpane, it won't start the addin:
<Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
<SourceLocation resid="messageReadTaskPaneUrl" />
</Action>
...
<bt:Url id="messageReadTaskPaneUrl" DefaultValue="https://localhost:3000?et=%3Cr%3E%0A%20%20%...">
If I set it like this, when I start the addin, it says:
Sorry, but we can't start this add-in because it isn't set up properly.
I use the following test token:
<r>
<t
aid="WA907006056"
pid="{4FB601F2-5469-4542-B9FC-B96345DC8B39}"
cid="32F3E7FC559F4F49"
did="{0672BAE9-B41B-48FE-87F1-7F4D3DD3F3B1}"
ts="30"
et="Trial"
ad="2012-01-12T21:58:13Z"
ed="2019-06-30T21:58:13Z"
sd="2012-01-12T00:00:00Z"
test="true"
te="2019-06-30T02:49:34Z" />
<d>VNNAnf36IrkyUVZlihQJNdUUZl/YFEfJOeldWBtd3IM=</d>
</r>
And use the following service to encode the url:

The problem is with URL encoding. When encoding the token, you have to remove all the new lines. Otherwise, it will throw an error. So, before encoding, take the token...
<r>
<t
aid="WA907006056"
pid="{4FB601F2-5469-4542-B9FC-B96345DC8B39}"
cid="32F3E7FC559F4F49"
did="{0672BAE9-B41B-48FE-87F1-7F4D3DD3F3B1}"
ts="30"
et="Trial"
ad="2012-01-12T21:58:13Z"
ed="2019-06-30T21:58:13Z"
sd="2012-01-12T00:00:00Z"
test="true"
te="2019-06-30T02:49:34Z" />
<d>VNNAnf36IrkyUVZlihQJNdUUZl/YFEfJOeldWBtd3IM=</d>
</r>
and remove all the new lines like this:
<r> <t aid="WA907006056" pid="{4FB601F2-5469-4542-B9FC-B96345DC8B39}" cid="32F3E7FC559F4F49" did="{0672BAE9-B41B-48FE-87F1-7F4D3DD3F3B1}" ts="30" et="Trial" ad="2012-01-12T21:58:13Z" ed="2019-06-30T21:58:13Z" sd="2012-01-12T00:00:00Z" test="true" te="2019-06-30T02:49:34Z" /> <d>VNNAnf36IrkyUVZlihQJNdUUZl/YFEfJOeldWBtd3IM=</d> </r>
Finally encode it and add to all the source locations.
