Cannot upload Express add-on with "experimentalApis"

Question

I am using some Express SDK features that require setting "experimentalApis: true" in the manifest.json file. Now I am trying to upload my add-on to generate a private link for testing. But during upload, I get an error:

"The add-on package verification failed due to:
Manifest json invalid.

Please fix the issues and try uploading the add-on package again"

Please advise me, on how to deploy my add-on for private testing.

At the moment, you can't.Both private and public distribution disallow the use of experimental APIs to ensure that users aren't exposed to functionality that hasn't been declared stable. The current plan is to declare those APIs as stable in the next couple of weeks (before EOY), and once that's done, you'll be able to create private and public listings using the current APIs. It doesn't help you now, but we're also working on allowing private links to include experimental APIs, but with a big warning for end users (so they know not to use the add-on on important documents). That will happen next year (timing TBD) If you don't mind my asking, what add-on are you building? What does it do?
