Our end goal is to share data from custom functions to the dialog box in windows excel desktop. We are trying to get that by using OfficeRuntime.storage with sharedRuntime. So we are trying to create a project with sharedRuntime in windows excel desktop. For this we followed these steps to create a sharedruntime project which works in excel live but not in Excel desktop. We were not able to see logs to identify the issue.
Below is the manifest file that we used -
