AppPrerequisite element (AppPrerequisiteCollection complexType)

(SharePoint Add-in Manifest)

Applies to: SharePoint Add-ins | SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013

Identifies a SharePoint Feature or capability that the add-in depends on. The SharePoint Add-ins installation infrastructure checks to see if the Feature or capability is present and activated. If it is not, installation of the add-in is blocked.

[!NOTE] The string app appears as part of or all of some element, attribute, and file names because SharePoint Add-ins were originally called "apps for SharePoint." To ensure backward compatibility, the schemas have not been changed.

    <AppPrerequisite Type="type_name " ID="feature/capability_guid_or_autohosted_component_type" MinimumVersion="n.n.n.n" />
