#Outlook 2016 for mac message stuck windows#

As mentioned above, this worked everywhere but Outlook Mac, where, the API seemed to ignore the window options and just open the url in a new tab in whatever browser was open and never setting the child window reference (result of window.open being null).ДЇailing this, I followed the advice found here on SO to use the Office functionality, displayDialogAsync and messageParent. Initially, this flow was built using the native js window.open and window.postMessage apis. Step 6 refuses to work on Outlook for Mac. Steps 1 through 5 work fine on all platforms.

On auth completion, the window redirects to a page in the office add-in scope, and calls back to the parent frame with the auth token, where it can be further processed.A new window opens, pointed at our authentication portal.

I've been through several iterations of this particular piece (most of which worked fine both in the Windows client and the web client on Mac and Win), and have had no luck. To be clear, we're using the Office Insider Fast Track build as it has much improved support for the Office-JS API. I'm working on an Outlook addin using the new Office-JS apis, and in building out the authentication flow, I've found that in the Outlook 2016 for Mac case, the dialog system seems to not work properly.
