Handling Manifest.xml during build

This is handled by the "vite-plugin-office-addin" plugin for vite which will update the manifest.xml for production builds with the URL specified in the file .env.production or overridden on the command line when you build by setting the environment variable ADDIN_PROD_URL=<your prod url s

Type Support For .vue Imports in TS

Since TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports, they are shimmed to be a generic Vue component type by default. In most cases this is fine if you don't really care about component prop types outside of templates. However, if you wish to get actual prop types in .vue imports (for example to get props validation when using manual h(...) calls), you can enable Volar's Take Over mode by following these steps:

1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VS Code's command palette, look for TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, then right click and select Disable (Workspace). By default, Take Over mode will enable itself if the default TypeScript extension is disabled.
2. Reload the VS Code window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.
