Take a look at console when installing appium gecko driver:

sudo appium driver install gecko
Password:
✔ Checking if 'appium-geckodriver' is compatible
✔ Installing 'gecko'
ℹ Driver gecko@1.4.1 successfully installed
- automationName: Gecko
- platformNames: ["Linux","Mac","Android","Windows"]

Correct platformName should be macOS
P.S. There are also mistakes in the documentation - please fix to proper platformName

Do you mean that it's incorrect because the marketed name of the platform is macOS? That's true, but historically selenium has used Mac for this platform, which is why it's been kept that way here. A lot of client-side code assumes Mac.

If there are other mistakes in the documentation, specific reference to those, and/or a PR would be helpful!
