Description

We are an OS X shop, so the Windows+Android development setup may easily get overlooked. Make sure both code, samples, IDE plugins and documentation work just as well on such a setup as on OS X.

Research direction
The issue asks to verify that the RIBs framework, including code, samples, IDE plugins, and documentation, works correctly on a Windows+Android development setup. Since the team primarily uses OS X, this setup may be untested. To start, one should review the existing CI configuration to see if Windows builds are included (likely not). Then, attempt to build the project on a Windows machine following the existing documentation, noting any errors. Additionally, check the sample projects and IDE plugin installation instructions for Windows specific issues. The lack of comments or PRs suggests this is a completely open task that requires significant investigation.
