2 years ago Hello Praveen, I tried this code on Desktop PowerPoint, and didn't had any issues. Given that you mention this works on web, I have theory that this might be dependent on the content on the presentation.
Would you be able to isolate the issue that causes the problem? i.e. you can try to delete slides and shapes on a slide, until the error disappears. And whenever it works, we can try to understand the shape you deleted. That can give us better information on how to repro this issue.

I have implemented the solution using Typescript, React, OfficeJS for PowerPoint. I have success in reading slides, but while reading shapes and textframes in each slide I see generic error:
Update 08/22/2022 I have enabled full statements using command to see where exactly it fails to load: OfficeExtension.config.extendedErrorLogging = true; and below is the result:
The code is failing at sync() method when reading textframes in a slide. The same works very fine in online version.
OfficeExtension.config.extendedErrorLogging = true; return PowerPoint.run(async (context) => { var slides = context.presentation.slides; context.load(slides); await context.sync(); var shapesArray: any[] = []; for (var j = 0; j < slides.items.length; j++) { var s = slides.items[j]; var shapes = s.shapes; s.load("shapes"); shapesArray.push(shapes); } await context.sync(); var textFrames: any[] = []; for (var i = 0; i < shapesArray.length; i++) { for (var k = 0; k < shapesArray[i].items.length; k++) { var item = shapesArray[i].items[k]; if (item.type == "Image" || item.type == "Unsupported") continue; item.load("textFrame"); textFrames.push(item.textFrame); } await context.sync(); } var textRanges: any[] = []; for (var jk = 0; jk < textFrames.length; jk++) { var textFrame = textFrames[jk]; if (textFrames[jk].hasText) { textFrame.load("textRange"); textRanges.push(textFrame.textRange); } } await context.sync(); **//fails here...** var textArray: string[] = []; if (textRanges && textRanges.length > 0) for (var kj = 0; kj < textRanges.length; kj++) { if (textRanges[kj].text) textArray.push(textRanges[kj].text); } return textArray.join(" "); });Your Environment
Expected behavior
The code if it works in office online then expect it to work on desktop version as well. This is simple text reading in a textFrame. So not sure reason for failure....
Current behavior
It just fails to execute sync() on reading text frames in a given slide.
Steps to reproduce
Any given presentation, just create taskpane add-in. Try to read slides from presentation and read shapes. Then try to read text frames. I have no success till date.
Link to live example(s)
There is no live example available.
Context
We have the implementation of add-in is completed. Works well in online but not in desktop. This is blocking us to go live as planned.
Please let me know if additional information is required. Thanks for looking into this.
