Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Visual Studio is listed as the only required IDE, and the only package installation example uses PowerShell syntax ('dotnet add package'), which is most commonly associated with Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives for development environments or package installation, nor are cross-platform CLI instructions (e.g., bash, zsh) provided. The Azure CLI example is cross-platform, but the overall setup and examples assume a Windows-first workflow.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that .NET and Azure Communication Services SDKs are cross-platform, and can be used on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Provide alternative instructions for installing the SDK using bash/zsh (e.g., 'dotnet add package' in a Linux/macOS terminal).
  • List VS Code or JetBrains Rider as alternative IDEs for Linux/macOS users, or clarify that Visual Studio is optional.
  • Add a note that the Azure CLI works on all major platforms.
  • Ensure that all code snippets and setup steps are platform-agnostic or provide platform-specific variants.
