Outlook add-in Office object is undefined

I'm having a really hard time trying to find any documentation for Outlook add-ins development.

I want to use the Office object to access the current message attachment files from within the add-in, but Office is always undefined. I have the following block in my manifest, as it's shown on the website:

<OfficeApp
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/appforoffice/1.1"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:bt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/officeappbasictypes/1.0"
    xmlns:mailappor="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.0"
    xsi:type="MailApp">

And also the following line in my script before attempting to access the Office object:

<script src="https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/1/hosted/Office.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

My requirements are just

<Requirements>
    <Sets>
        <Set Name="Mailbox" MinVersion="1.1" />
    </Sets>
</Requirements>

After just defining those the Office object seems to exist on the official site:

if ( Office.context.requirements.isSetSupported( RequirementSetName, VersionNumber ) )

What am I missing? I still get the undefined error for Office, and haven't found anything about how to make it work.

Thank you so so much in advance!

Per Office.js documentation ...

If you fail to include an Office.initialize event handler, your add-in may raise an error when it starts.

I believe the "Checking the load status" document will be great way to start.
