We would like to have the ability to search/list Office Web Add-Ins.
With VSTO/COM Add-Ins, you can search the registry. With Office Web Add-Ins, there is no simple way of doing this, at least not for Desktop applications.
This feature would help troubleshoot issues greatly. In large environments, it's not always easy to know if a deployment of Add-Ins has reached all users/machines. Sometimes a user will be missing a business feature that was provided by an Add-In because it never reached them, or they may not have received an update.
With VSTO/COM Add-Ins, I'm able to easily inventory what's loaded on a user's machine, and provide reports. We'd like to be able to do the same with Office Web Add-Ins.

I was hoping for a C# solution, but I'll try this now since it's what's available.
I was thinking of doing this by creating a host from within C#. (see article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/developer/hosting/windows-powershell-host-quickstart?view=powershell-7.3)
It will take me a few days to experiment with this, but I'll get back to you ASAP.
Thanks!You can use the Exchange Online PowerShell Get-App command to list installed web add-ins for each user. See Get-App (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn.
