Office add-in validation fails for IconUrl though it is a 32x32 px image

I have the following line in my manifest

<IconUrl DefaultValue="images/icon-32.png"/>

and also 

<Host ...>
...
    <Control ...>
        ....
        <Icon>
            <bt:Image size="16" DefaultValue="images/icon-16.png"/>
            <bt:Image size="32" DefaultValue="images/icon-32.png"/>
            <bt:Image size="80" DefaultValue="images/icon-80.png"/>
        </Icon>
    </Control>

</Host>

But when I submit for approval, I am getting the following error from the Office Store Team.

The icon referenced in the IconUrl element of your add-in manifest must be 32x32 pixels in dimension.

And it is referred to the document Validation Policies point 5.10

I have verified the image to be exactly 32x32 px in size in PNG format. While testing the add-in, the icon-32.png is loaded in the Home menu panel

Update The complete manifest file is added below

Solution

  • I confirmed the image referenced in your IconUrl is 32x32. Based on what you've posted, I don't see a problem with your image. I suggest re-submitting and mentioning that you couldn't replicate the icon issue from the previous failure.

    There are a couple of issue with your manifest that you should address first:

    1. The requirements element should come immediately after your hosts element. While this shouldn't effect the add-in, it is tripping up the automated validation script. Simply moving it after hosts will eliminate this being incorrectly flagged during manifest validation.

    2. You've got a couple of references to http://tesaddin.local/index.html. Add-ins are required to operate over a secure transport (https). The only URIs in your manifest that should use http are the XML schema references. Given the .local, I assume this is just a standing URL for posting on SO so this may not be an issue in your actual manifest.
