Walter,

 

Here is the screenshot from the add-in and after it launches the browser. after it launches the browser page, I get this "cannot communicate with the https://..." and when I pick a destination and click Choose nothing happens.

 

So I am comparing it to One Drive picker, which stays inside the Add-in Application. I am wondering if I get communication error because outlook app and this browser page lost a connection.

 

So is it possible to load it inside the Add-in in Outlook mobile app?

 

If not, how can I keep the communication going and return to the app after picking the destination?
