Problem Statement: Create a macOS Outlook add-in which responds to Calendar move and delete events and calls an API. Challenge: Most of the links say that this is not possible but there are native Outlook add-ins for Mac already out there. One example is Zoom's. Following screenshots clearly shows that this is a MAC native add-in Problem with Office-JS add-in: We know that MS is pushing office add-ins for Mac, however there are some limitations which we cannot live with.
Outlook 2016 Immediate Crash on High Sierra submitted 1 year ago by burstgoof Is anyone else experiencing crashes of Outlook 2016, pretty much on open, in High Sierra betas?

Office-JS add-in does not react on move and delete events in a Calendar. I understand that there are notifications that can be subscribed to and required action can be taken. This is also a challenge because our clients won't allow to deploy extra components outside network. Does anyone have any idea on how to create a native macOS Outlook add-in?
Thanks for checking it. As far as we are aware, Office-JS add-in cannot come up as a full form as depicted in first screenshot, Office-JS add-in can only show in vertical/horizontal task-pane and has a very limited landscape for display. Secondly there is no event that an Office-JS add-in can subscribe to and respond when an appointment is moved in outlook Calendar as depicted in second screenshot. We have done lot of development in this area and I have shared my observations. Still if you think that Zoom Add-in is an office add-in, May be I am missing some really important information that is missing in documentation.
Please suggest. Hi, For Office Add-ins, there are only two types, Office VSTO Add-in and Office(js) Add-ins. Office VSTO Add-in is only available under Windows Office Version. Office(js) Add-in is cross-platform. Since Zoom Addin is avalable bothn in windows and mac, I assume it is Office(js) AddIn. But, since I am not developer from Zoom, I do not know the implementation of Zoom.
If Office (JS) Add-in did not meet your requirement, and you want to acheive the way of Zoom, I would suggest you contact Zoom developer for help.

Our understanding of office ecosystem aligns with what you have explained. We don't want to copy what Zoom has done but want to understand the capabilities of Microsoft platform. Considering this, we are posting in these forums as you have more access to MS resources than what we do. I can definitely go to Zoom developer but that does not solve the problem as to our customers we need to explain why Office platform for MAC is the right investment. As a next step, Is it possible to consult this with some of the folks in MAC outlook extensibility team and get to a workable solution so that we can align our customers to invest in outlook for MAC.
I added Scrivener 2.8.1.2; it opens the file but the documents are shown in a small window in the lower left corner of the screen. Makes it impossible to edit. Oddly, full screen mode will show the document and can be edited, but the app crashes within minutes. This is sort of depressing as I use Scrivener a lot. I may need to see how a Time Machine restore goes. (I backed up prior to the install of High Sierra.) But I'll wait it out for a week or two and see if there are other updates from either macOS or Scrivener (not likely) and just use something else to write for the moment. I ran Microsoft Update for Office 2016 and checked the Insider Preview box and it updated all of office to 15.36.
Now Outlook works again. Converted my Scrivener manuscript to Storyist 3.4.3 and that works.

Now Outlook works again. Things 3 returns an error message quite often when quitting the application. T he Interface is very slow and sluggish animations on a rMBP 13 inch 2015 - feels like there is not graphically accelerated. Safari - opens slow CleanMyMac 3 - not working - probably waiting for Beta to come out Boxy works YakYak - works DayOne2 - works iMessage Cloud Synch does not work yet - maybe it will if I install ios11 on my phone which I don't plan to Fantastical 2 - works TunnelBlick - not working Photos - crashes once in a while Mac is running hotter then previously.
I got extra 12 GB after the upgrade - not really sure how?.
