office-addin-manifest validate doesn't recognize PowerPointApi 1.6

[davidchesnut]

When using the PowerPointApi 1.6 req set in the manifest, the office-addin-manifest tool doesn't recognize it as valid. 1.5 and 1.7 req sets do work however.

• [x ] I am running the latest version of Node and the tools
• [x ] I checked the documentation and found no answer
• [x ] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

Expected behavior

The manifest should be valid.

Current behavior

Error #1:
No Supported Office Products: There are no platforms which fulfil the requirements specified in the manifest. The most common reasons for this failure are issues in the Requirements section. Please review the manifest and try again.

Error #2:
No Supported Products found for the package: undefined

The manifest is not valid.

2. Add the following entry to the manifest.

<Requirements>
  <Sets DefaultMinVersion="1.1">

The validation logic is actually handled by a store service we call. They will need to make an updated to allow this. Are you able to sideload the add-in anyway?

A request has been sent to the service team to update the validation logic.
