Office in the Mac App Store
Page Last Updated: November 15, 2022 @ 9:04am Pacific Time

Welcome
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook were first released to the Mac App Store (aka MAS) on January 24, 2019 - joining the existing OneNote and OneDrive applications that were previously available. The purpose of this page is to discuss best practices and known issues for organizations that are considering the deployment of Office from MAS. There is an official high-level FAQ on docs.microsoft.com that covers the basic questions and you should read this first if you haven't already done so.

Common Issues

• Problem: When installing Office (or any other application) through VPP, the InstallApplication command fails with 'VPP redownload call timed out <MDMClientError:72>'
  Workaround: As a workaround, you need to Cancel the failed MDM commands.
  Status: This is an intermittent ongoing problem that Apple is looking into.
  
  
  
• Problem: On Big Sur 11.2 and 11.3 Office apps will crash with EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) and a binary mismatch error after being updated through VPP.
  Workaround: While viable for most production environments, apps need to be manually closed before the InstallApplication VPP command is issued.
  Status: This issue is being tracked by Apple under RADAR:59682388.
  
  
  
  
• Problem: On Catalina 10.15.7 attempts to update Office (or any other application) through VPP silently fail. Inspecting the console log reveals a logic flaw in storeassetd.
  Workaround: While unviable for most production environments, one workaround is to delete the application, and let VPP reinstall the new version.
  Status: This issue is being tracked by Apple under RADAR:59682388.
  
  
  
  
• Problem: When forcing updates through Jamf Pro, updates get stuck during installation if the app is currently open, and the user receives no notifications that updates are pending
  Workaround: Close apps before pushing the update from the Jamf Server
  Status: Jamf support is investigating as case JAMF-0635688 and with Apple as RADAR 48120258, but at the moment, this appears to be a known limitation of the MDM/VPP architecture. This issue is not limited to just Office apps, but also affects Xcode, Slack, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, etc
  
• Problem: The built-in 'softwareupdate' command does not list Office updates
  More Info: This is a known limitation of the command - it only shows first-party updates, and not general MAS app updates
  
            
  
  
• Problem: If Office apps are installed through Jamf Self Service, users cannot obtain app updates either through Self Service or the Mac App Store app
  Workaround: None
  Status: Jamf support is investigating as case JAMF-0635688, but appears to be a known limitation.
  
  
• Problem: The MAS version of OneDrive does not show file sync status in Finder
  More Info: The absence of overlays is a known limitation of OneDrive when acquired from MAS
  Workaround: Deploy the standalone CDN version of OneDrive
  
• Problem: Clicking the 'Get Add-ins' button in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook launches the browser window
  More Info: This is an intentional difference between the MAS and CDN versions of Office app (to comply with App Store policy). The CDN version will launch an in-app dialog, the MAS version will launch the browser.
