Howto: Outlook 2016 for Mac - Debugging/View Console Logs in Outlook Add-in
We develop an Outlook app (now called add-in) using html5/js originally for OWA but now it is targeted to all Office Supported Platforms.
And indeed, it seems to work on all platforms (ios, safari on mac, windows browsers and outlook) except for Outlook 2016 for Mac.
When running inside Outlook 2016 for Mac it behaves very strangely. Not loading half the times, and when loading, it does not work properly.
We find it very hard to find the problem. We did not find a way to debug our scripts or even see our console logs.
Do you have any flags/procedure/tools that we can use, so that we can see what's going on with our add-in in this platform?

Take a look at this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/dn818897.aspx
Also review all API objects, methods and properties you are accessing against the API documentation; note the Support Details section at the bottom of the member's page to confirm its availability for Outlook for Mac.
To debug it against Outlook for Mac, you may need to use the Yeoman tool:

- open your add-in on outlook.
- go to and open one of:
32-Bit – C:WindowsSystem32F12F12Chooser.exe
64-Bit – C:WindowsSysWOW64F12F12Chooser.exe
and there is your debugger.
