Add CRM 2013 workflow button back - dynamics-crm

I am woking on a CRM 2013 solution which is updated from previous CMR 2011 version. The Run Workflow and Dialog buttons has been removed. I tried to add them back by using Ribbon editor but they are not showing from the UI. I tried IIS reset and delete IE history. Here is the XML in the customizations.xml

</RibbonDiffXml>

I personally avoid deleting any system buttons entirely. I think better approach is just to hide them. Using Visual Ribbon Editor it should not be even possible to delete them entirely. I assume you have deleted them by modifying RibbonDiffXml by hand at some point though and now you're trying to get them back using Visual Ribbon Editor (or Ribbon Workbench).
What I would do in this case is I would go and download Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 SDK. In the SDK there's Resources\ExportedRibbonXml folder which contains RibbonDiffXml definations for all system entities that comes with CRM 2013. Probably you can just copy definitions from there the way you like.

Outlook custom add in change icon

Im creating a custom add in using the yo office command. I just want to know how i can change the icon on the outlook mail app. Ive. try everything but nothing works. Image Here
It seems you need to change the icon on the ribbon. For that you need to add an icon to your web app and define it in the resources section to which you can refer in the ribbon markup:
<!-- Define a control that calls a JavaScript function. -->
<Control xsi:type="Button" id="Button1Id1">
<Label resid="residLabel" />
<Tooltip resid="residToolTip" />
<Supertip>
<Title resid="residLabel" />
<Description resid="residToolTip" />
</Supertip>
<Icon>
<bt:Image size="16" resid="icon1_16x16" />
<bt:Image size="32" resid="icon1_32x32" />
<bt:Image size="80" resid="icon1_80x80" />
</Icon>
<Action xsi:type="ExecuteFunction">
<FunctionName>getData</FunctionName>
</Action>
</Control>
The resources section from the manifest file may look like that:
<Resources>
<bt:Images>
<bt:Image id="Icon_16x16" DefaultValue="https://localhost:3000/assets/icon-16.png"/>
<bt:Image id="Icon_32x32" DefaultValue="https://localhost:3000/assets/icon-32.png"/>
<bt:Image id="Icon_80x80" DefaultValue="https://localhost:3000/assets/icon-80.png"/>
</bt:Images>

Outlook add-in ribbon icon doesn't show up only on Outlook app for Windows

I'm developing an add-in for Outlook to be used on the Appointments tabs. My issue is that the ribbon icon that initializes the add-in doesn't display the proper icon (ends up falling back to the default blue hexagon from Microsoft) but only on Windows Outlook apps.
The icon shows up properly on Outlook for Mac and on the Outlook web clients.
Tried already resizing the icons to 64x64 and 128x128 (high res), removing and reinstalling the add-in, and validating through the manifest validator. All seems fine but the issue persists.
These are parts of the manifest (URL's replaced with localhost) that I judge relevant to the issue (Please feel free to ask for other sections if I missed anything.

I have validated the manifest using Office Addin Validator which has provided the following output:
$ validate-office-addin ~/ef-manifest.xml
Calling validation service. This might take a moment...
-------------------------------------
Validation: Passed
Based on the requirements specified in your manifest, your add-in can run on the following platforms; your add-in will be tested on these platforms when you submit it to the Office Store:
- Outlook 2013 or later
- Outlook 2016 or later
- Outlook 2016 for Mac
- Outlook on the Web
Important: This analysis is based on the requirements specified in your manifest and does not account for any runtime JavaScript calls within your add-in. For information about which API sets and features are supported on each platform, see Office Add-in host and platform availability. (https://dev.office.com/add-in-availability).
*This does not include mobile apps. You can opt-in to support mobile apps when you submit your add-in.
-------------------------------------
I have also confirmed that my dummy template has worked in with the following setup:
Windows 10 Pro
Outlook 2019 Version 1808 (Build 10338.20019)
The picture below shows the add in, the custom tab, the group and the button:
custom tab working in Windows
The issue I am having is when I try to use the same manifest on a Mac whose setup is:
macOs High Sierra Version 10.13.6 (17G3025)
Outlook 2016 Version 16.16.4 (181110)
In this case the add in installs and can initially be seen in the 'my add-ins: custom add-ins' section of the store. However when I return to Outlook from the store the add in does not appear. If I then subsequently return to the store the add-in no longer shows up in the 'my add-ins: custom add-ins' section.
Some information I've already gathered:
MS maintains a list of supported/availability for the different parts of the add ins. Currently add in commands are listed as being supported on all available platforms (Web, Windows, Mac, Android, etc). See the list here:
MS Outlook add in support
Microsoft documentation states “You can use add-in commands to add a button on the ribbon or an item to a context menu.”, here:
MS add in commands definition
Their documentation goes on to say “An add-in command appears on the ribbon as a button. When a user installs an add-in, its commands appear in the UI as a group of buttons labeled with the add-in name. This can either be on the ribbon's default tab or on a custom tab.”, here:
MS custom tab support
I have already come across an issue on here which mentions that ribbon groups are not available in Outlook for Mac:
Related stackoverflow question
So given this brief history I have two questions:
1) Are custom tabs supported in Outlook for Mac?
and if so
2) Am I missing something in my manifest file?
You are not missing anything in the manifest.
Mac Outlook doesn't support custom tabs.
You will have to use Office Tab.

OfficeJS Outlook Add-in Does Not Install

UPDATE #1:
TL;DR: I want to target:
Outlook 2016 or later
Outlook on the Web
Outlook 2016 for Mac
Outlook for iOS
Outlook for Android
I require Mailbox 1.5 in order to support calling the Outlook REST APIs and to support pinnable taskpanes.
Since pinnable taskpanes are only supported in Outlook 2016 for Windows, and because Mailbox 1.5 is currently only supported in Outlook on the Web, I will need to set Mailbox 1.5 in the <VersionOverrides> sections of the manifest.
Based on the validation report:
Your add-in manifest includes Tablet Settings and Phone Settings, however
Mailbox 1.4 is used in the core of your manifest. This mailbox is not
supported in the Outlook Web App.
That sounds like it conflicts with what Office Add-in host and platform availability says. So, I have set Mailbox 1.3 in the base level of the manifest.
Here is my manifest:

Here is the validate-office-addin result for the above add-in manifest:
Calling validation service. This might take a moment...
-------------------------------------
Validation: Passed
Based on the requirements specified in your manifest, your add-in can run on the following platforms; your add-in will be tested on these platforms when you submit it to the Office Store:
- Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 or later
- Outlook 2016 or later
- Outlook on the Web
- Outlook 2016 for Mac
- Outlook for iOS
- Outlook for Android
Important: This analysis is based on the requirements specified in your manifest and does not account for any runtime JavaScript calls within your add-in. For information about which API sets and features are supported on each platform, see Office Add-in host and platfo
rm availability. (https://dev.office.com/add-in-availability).
*This does not include mobile apps. You can opt-in to support mobile apps when you submit your add-in.
-------------------------------------
However, the validation report from Microsoft says:
Your add-in is not working in Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, Outlook for Mac,
the Outlook app on iOS or in the Outlook app on Android. Your add-in is not
available to be inserted in the above platforms. If you do not support 2013
SP1 because you are using an API only available in 2016/Online, you must put
these apis in the requirements tag in your manifest. If you are not using an
API only available in 2016/Online, then you must support 2013 SP1.
I have side-loaded the add-in from OWA.
I can see the add-in on:
Outlook 2016 or later (Windows)
Outlook on the Web (OWA)
I have yet to test if the add-in appears on Outlook 2016 for Mac.
For the life of me I can't seem to get the add-in to show up on:
Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 or later
Outlook for iOS
Outlook for Android
I don't understand why. Am I missing something in the manifest? Have I perhaps misconfigured the manifest? Please help.
Support for Outlook mobile is added by defining the MobileFormFactor element in VersionOverridesV1_1. See here for more information on MobileFormFactor
Mailbox 1.5 is not supported in Outlook 2013 ( see here for availability information) For your add-in to appear in Outlook 2013, you need to use Mailbox 1.4 or lower
Adding some detail to the Add-in and Store team's responses.
The Outlook 2013 problem stems from two conflicting rules that Outlook is following:
You've declared your minimum mailbox version of 1.3 in the core manifest.
You've also declared a VersionOverridesV1_0 section with a minimum version of 1.5
The validation tool is declaring support for Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 or later because (as the Store team mentioned), this version of Outlook supports 1.3.
Outlook 2013 Service Pack 1 or later also supports Add-in Commands via VersionOverridesV1_0. As soon as Outlook sees you have a Add-in Commands declared, it will pivot to using add-in commands. However, since these are defined as requiring 1.5 Outlook 2013 is unable to render them.
In order for your Add-in Commands to show up in Outlook 2013, you need to make sure the minimum version you're requiring within VersionOverridesV1_0 is 1.4 or lower (note that VersionOverridesV1_1 should remain at 1.5).

Add-In could not be started

I'm currently developing an add-in for Outlook, I followed the basic steps in creating an add in, but whenever I run (the unedited pre-generated) project, I get the following error:
This add-in could not be started. Close this dialog to ignore the problem or click "Restart" to try again.
I first thought this might be related to Visual Studio ISS's HTTPS certificates, but after installing those (and testing that they work in Chrome). I also changed the logo to see if that had any effect but it keeps showing the default image.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? This is my current manifest:

Screenshot of the error:
The most likely cause of this error is a timeout. Your add-in has 5 seconds to execute the Office.initialize method before Outlook tosses up an error.
Generally when this happens, it is because you're not referencing the office.js library in the <head> or your not executing Office.initialize until after the DOM is loaded.
You can find details on referencing office.js # Understanding the JavaScript API for Office
In the XML manifest file that you posted, there are 9 occurrences of ~remoteAppUrl. If you haven't already done so, you should replace each occurrence of ~remoteAppUrl with the HTTPS URL that represents where the add-in's (web app) files are deployed.
Also, as #Slava Ivanov mentioned in the comment above -- I believe each AppDomain value should be a URI that includes the protocol (ex: https://www.test.com).
