Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on WPF desktop applications, which are Windows-only. All code samples are in C# and tailored for WPF, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform desktop frameworks. There are no examples or guidance for Linux desktop applications or alternative frameworks (e.g., GTK#, Avalonia, Electron). The documentation assumes a Windows development environment and does not address Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples for cross-platform desktop frameworks (e.g., Avalonia, Electron, GTK#) that run on Linux.
  • Include guidance for configuring Azure AD B2C authentication in Linux desktop applications.
  • Mention and provide code samples for MSAL usage in .NET Core/MAUI apps that can run on Linux.
  • Clarify in the introduction that the guidance is Windows-specific, and link to cross-platform alternatives if available.
  • If possible, provide parity in documentation for Linux and macOS desktop environments, including redirect URI configuration and authentication flows.
