AppDefinition complexType

(SharePoint Add-in Manifest)

Applies to: SharePoint Add-ins | SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013

Note

The string app appears as part of or all of some element, attribute, and file names because SharePoint Add-ins were originally called "apps for SharePoint." To ensure backward compatibility, the schemas have not been changed.
