Authenticating Outlook WEB Add-in with SSO

I am trying to follow the steps for authenticating Outlook WEB Add-in with SSO according to the official documentation, but got stuck at the section Updating the add-in manifest. Described in this reference, I have to add this piece in the VersionOverrides section of the manifest file:

<WebApplicationInfo>
  <Id>912344b-661c-4424-0ksc-fb23131aa2e344</Id>
  <Resource>api://localhost:44374/912344b-661c-4424-0ksc-fb23131aa2e344</Resource>
  <Scopes>
    <Scope>profile</Scope>
    <Scope>user.read</Scope>
  </Scopes>
</WebApplicationInfo>

and also change the version from VersionOverridesV1_0 to VersionOverridesV1_1, because my WEB Add-in is for Outlook (WEB). I change that in the manifest in Visual Studio, but for some reason it gives me this error message:

This is an invalid xsi:type 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides:VersionOverridesV1_1'

Why?

EDIT: I stumbled across this where it says:

Note: Currently only Outlook 2016 supports the VersionOverrides v1.1 schema and the VersionOverridesV1_1 type.

but my Add-in is Web and not for native client... Therefore how to add this WebApplicationInfo section, when the VersionOverridesV1_0 does not support it and proceed with the next steps from the article?

VersionOverridesV1_1 should be a child of VersionOverridesV1_0, it is not an either-or. From the documentation:

In order to implement multiple versions, the VersionOverrides element for the newer version must be a child of the VersionOverrides element for the older version. The child VersionOverrides element doesn't inherit any values from the parent.

<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_0">
    <Description resid="" />
    <Requirements>
    </Requirements>
    <Hosts>
    </Hosts>
    <Resources>
    </Resources>

    <VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_1">
        <Description resid="" />
        <Requirements>
        </Requirements>
        <Hosts>
        </Hosts>
        <Resources>
        </Resources>
    </VersionOverrides>
</VersionOverrides>
