How can I set a minimum required version to my Excel Add-In?

Question

In my manifest file I have the following code:

<Requirements>
    <Sets DefaultMinVersion="1.2">
        <Set Name="ExcelApi" MinVersion="1.2"/>
    </Sets>
</Requirements>

But it doesn't work, the manifest file is not valid.

The <Requirements> element has to be between the <Hosts> and <DefaultSettings> elements within a parent <OfficeApp> element.

We have not done a good job of documenting the required sequence. In the meantime, you can see the OfficeAppManifestV1_1.
