App manifest schema for Teams
In this article
The Microsoft Teams app manifest describes how your app integrates into the Microsoft Teams product. Your app manifest must conform to the schema hosted at https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/teams/v1.14/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json. Previous versions 1.0, 1.1,…,1.13, and the current version is 1.14 are each supported (using “v1.x” in the URL).
For more information on the changes made in each version, see manifest change log.
The following table lists TeamsJS version and app manifest versions as per different app scenarios:
*Use the latest TeamsJS (v.2.0 or later) whenever possible, in order to leverage from the latest improvements and new feature support including Teams-only apps. TeamsJS v.1.12 continue to be supported, however, no new features or improvements will be added. The 1.12 and 1.13 schemas are otherwise the same. For more information on TeamsJS, see Teams JavaScript client SDK.
The following schema sample shows all extensibility options:

Create a manifest file
If your app doesn’t have a Teams app manifest file, you’ll need to create it.
To create a Teams app manifest file:
- Use the sample manifest schema to create a .json file.
- Save it in the root of your project folder as
manifest.json.
Here’s an example of a example of manifest schema for a tab app with SSO enabled:
Note
The manifest example content shown here is only for a tab app. It uses example values for subdomain URI and package name. For more information, see sample manifest schema.
