IconUrl element fails to appear in Outlook Add-in on Desktop

Viewed 47

For an Outlook Add-in, the IconURL (defined in the Manifest) appears OK when Outlook is running in the Web, but fails to appear for Outlook Desktop

Just in case this might be relevant: the M/S documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/manifest/iconurl?view=common-js-preview is not totally clear: "For content and task pane apps, the image specified must be 32 x 32 pixels. For mail apps, the image resolution must be 64 x 64 pixels" - is an Outlook Add-in a "mail app"? Presumably, as Manifest validation fails on a 32 x 32 pixel image - but is fine with 64 x 64

Screenshots below of Web, with icon, and Desktop, without, in that order, plus part of Manifest

Currently we do not use the icon in the taskbar title in Win32. This is one of the differences between the two clients.
