Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, especially in the SignTool integration section. All setup instructions, prerequisites, and examples are exclusively for Windows environments, using Windows-specific tools (SignTool.exe, MSI installers, WinGet, PowerShell). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of cross-platform alternatives for direct signing. Other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) are referenced only via external links, without parity in detailed setup instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS users, including supported signing tools and workflows.
  • If SignTool is Windows-only, clarify this limitation and provide alternative signing methods for non-Windows platforms (e.g., OpenSSL, GPG, or cross-platform SDK usage).
  • Include parity in setup walkthroughs for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, showing how Linux/macOS runners can use Artifact Signing.
  • List platform compatibility for each integration at the top of the page.
  • Provide a table summarizing which integrations are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
