Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-based tools and workflows, especially SignTool and PowerShell. All setup instructions, prerequisites, and examples are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives for direct signing. Even in sections referencing cross-platform integrations (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), the details and examples are omitted, and only links are provided. Linux and macOS users are left without guidance for native or CLI-based signing workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance or examples for Linux/macOS users where possible, especially for SDK-based or cross-platform signing scenarios.
  • Clarify early in the document if Artifact Signing with SignTool is Windows-only, and direct non-Windows users to supported alternatives (e.g., GitHub Actions, SDK usage).
  • Expand the 'Use other signing integrations' section with at least one end-to-end example for a non-Windows platform (e.g., using GitHub Actions or the SDK on Linux).
  • If native Linux/macOS CLI tools are not supported, state this clearly and provide recommended workflows for those users.
