Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows-specific tools and workflows, particularly SignTool, PowerShell, and Windows installers (MSI, Setup.exe, winget). All setup instructions, examples, and prerequisites for the main integration (SignTool) are Windows-only, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives or cross-platform signing tools. Other integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, SDK) are referenced but not documented in detail, and no Linux/macOS-specific signing guidance is provided.
Recommendations
  • Clearly indicate that SignTool integration is Windows-only, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users on alternative signing methods or integrations.
  • Add explicit sections or examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using the Artifact Signing SDK, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps pipelines from non-Windows environments.
  • Document cross-platform signing workflows, including how to use Artifact Signing from Linux/macOS CI runners or developer machines.
  • If possible, provide parity for installation and usage instructions for the Artifact Signing SDK or other integrations on Linux/macOS.
  • List platform compatibility for each integration at the top of the page, so users can quickly identify which options are available for their OS.
