This action won't enable you to set breakpoints and debug your add-in's code while it's running, but you can see how it behaves and verify that the UI is usable and rendering appropriately.

Prerequisites for Office on iOS

• A Windows or Mac computer with iTunes installed.

• An iPad running iOS 8.2 or later with Excel on iPad installed, and a sync cable.

• The manifest .xml file for the add-in you want to test.
