Mankirat can speak more directly to this state of affairs, but the goal was to get a decent 80% solution in place on at least one platform, and the tooling for these sorts of tasks tends not to be multi-platform. Perhaps we’d be able to support other platforms and toolings within the ABICompCheck module at some point.
