I built a simple outlook addin from VS 2012, in which I have two buttons in ribbon (Designer).
Those two buttons will show up two forms respectively.
But when I debug the project from VS 2012, it opens up Outlook 2013 but I dont see "Add-Ins" tab next to "View" or "Developer" tab.
I have confirmed following checkpoints :
1) My Custom AddIn does not crash during debug start, which hits "ThisAddIn_Startup" event handler as normal.
2) My custom addIn name shows up in AddIns section under Active (its not disabled).
3) "AddIns" options is checked in File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon ( I tried to turn ON / OFF 'Developer' tab, which worked correctly.
4) Framework is 4.5 for Outlook AddIn project.
5) Project targeting 64bit - Outlook is 64bit.
6) following is snapshot, next to developer tab, I am expecting AddIns tab.
7) Followed http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386104.aspx but it dint help.
