Platform specific extensions

[isidorn]

Extensions can publish different VSIXs for each platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) VS Code is running on. We call such extensions platform-specific extensions. More details can be found in our docs:

Let us know if you have any questions around platform specific extensions.

I asked a question about how Platform Specific Extensions are handled by VS Code (outside of the Marketplace publishing mechanism). The answer is very revealing and may be helpful for extension developers to review.
