Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased toward Windows, focusing exclusively on Windows tools (SignTool.exe, MSI installers, WinGet, PowerShell) with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents or setup instructions. All examples and installation methods are Windows-specific, and prerequisites require Windows OS. Linux and macOS users are left without guidance for using Artifact Signing directly, except possibly via CI/CD integrations like GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, which are only briefly referenced.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux and macOS users, including supported signing tools and setup steps.
  • Clarify whether Artifact Signing can be used outside Windows, and if so, provide parity for SDK, dlib, and runtime installation on non-Windows platforms.
  • Include cross-platform examples for signing artifacts, such as using .NET CLI, OpenSSL, or other common Linux/macOS tools.
  • If SignTool is Windows-only, highlight alternative signing workflows for Linux/macOS (e.g., via GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or SDK usage).
  • Reorganize the documentation to present cross-platform options first, or in parallel, rather than focusing on Windows tools and patterns.
