Excel Addin rejected because of Excel 2013

I developed an Excel Add-in that requires Excel 2016 (perpetual) or later. So, I put these requirements tags in my manifest:

<Hosts>
  <Host Name="Workbook" />
</Hosts>
<Requirements>
  <Sets DefaultMinVersion="1.1">
    <Set Name="ExcelApi" MinVersion="1.1"/>
  </Sets>
</Requirements>

Is this enough to block my addin from Excel 2013 users, when the browse in the store?

Solution

  • According to the documentation, yes.

    You should however make sure this aligns with the minimal version of ExcelApi that you're code is actually using. There have been a number of changes since 1.1 was released. If you're using anything that was released with version 1.2 through 1.6 (the latest GA release) then you need to specify that version as your minimum.
