Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows tools and workflows, especially SignTool, PowerShell, and MSI/WinGet installers. All setup instructions and examples are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents or alternatives. Even in sections about GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, there are no explicit Linux/macOS instructions or parity notes.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state if Artifact Signing is Windows-only, or if Linux/macOS support is planned or available.
  • If cross-platform support exists (e.g., via GitHub Actions or SDKs), provide explicit Linux/macOS setup instructions and examples.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including any limitations or alternative tools/workflows.
  • If only Windows is supported for certain integrations (like SignTool), clarify this early in the documentation.
  • For SDK-based integrations, provide cross-platform code samples and installation instructions.
