Side loading powerpoint add-in with manifest.xml file on mac

I am working on a mac and have built an add-in for ms powerpoint. Office 365 family

App is deployed on azure.

Everything worked when i sideloaded using npm start and node server / localhost but I am now trying to sideload the add-in just using the manifest file and the source on azure.

MS Office documentation say to place the manifest into /Users//Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Powerpoint/Data/Documents/wef

I have done this but it is not showing in powerpoint add-ins.

Documentation also states that I should be able to 'upload add-in' via the add-in area, but this option isn't available in the add-in centre.

I tried putting the manifest file in /Users//Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Powerpoint/Data/Documents/wef and expected to see the add-in available in powerpoint, but it is not

Sideloaded add-ins will not show up in the My Add-ins dialog box. They are only visible within the drop-down menu (small down-arrow to the right of My Add-ins on the Insert tab). Sideloaded add-ins are listed under the Developer Add-ins heading in this menu.

See Sideload Office Add-ins on Mac for testing for more information.
