MicrosoftHello Anonymous42, Thank you for your inquiry about your Teams app development issue!
Could you please ensure the "ribbons" section in your manifest file is correctly defined according to the specifications.Double-check the properties and values within the "ribbons" section to ensure they meet the requirements.
If possible, create a minimal version of your manifest file with only the essential elements, excluding the "ribbons" section. Gradually add back sections to identify which part of the manifest is causing the issue.

Hi,
I checked the manifest using teamsfx validate and also checked the "ribbons" part against the JSON Schema of the 1.17 manifest version. Both checks didn't give any error.
Once I remove the entire "ribbons" section, it can be uploaded fine, just like our other Teams apps. Once all mandatory fields of the "ribbons" are there again, it fails.
If I remove any mandatory fields from the "ribbons", the validation finds them correctly.
Also, we didn't make any changes to the manifest itself, nor the images being referenced. It just stopped working.
Does the error message maybe give more insights?

Hello,
I did a test with the official sample manifest from Microsoft: https://github.com/OfficeDev/teams-toolkit-samples/tree/v2.5.0/hello-world-teams-tab-and-outlook-add-in/appPackage
I get the same error. I opened a ticket on github about this:
