We have a small Excel application to complement our SaaS product. Standalone is useless, and because of this, I have big problems getting into the office application store. And actually it does not make any sense, it is just for our users. But how else can you easily install this application?
It is written using HTML and JS with the Office.js library, so the application itself is basically an xml manifest file pointing to a static URL. There is documentation on downloading add-ons for testing:
Most of our users have Windows PCs with excellent local access. And creating a shared folder ... is a way beyond their capabilities. I was hoping that I could somehow configure nginx as webdav or similar to add it to excel as a trusted URL directory, however I did not find any documentation indicating what the directory URL was other than a network share.
As for mac and iPad, I'm even more puzzled. I could provide them with a simple script / application that they need to execute in order to copy the manifest to the right place.
