My colleague says creating custom apps from scratch sing ServiceNow Extension for VS Code is not possible, its only meant to existing apps.
But the docs here says "Build applications: Supports development of different types of ServiceNow projects such as custom applications, stored applications"
Docs link - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ServiceNow.now-vscode
Can anyone give clarity and confirm on this?

Yes, you can. And they keep improving, but never forget that it is a VS Code extension for ServiceNow and not a ServiceNow extension for VS Code.
Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

Hi @Mark Manders Is that documented anywhere in ServiceNow repository? If yes, can you please share?
Even the docs doesnt mention about creation of applications.
Here also ServiceNow says "Create a project in VS Code
ServiceNow applications are contained within a project in the VS Code IDE. Import an application from your ServiceNow instance with the help of ServiceNow Extensions for VS Code."
Which means, you can edit the files of an application by importing the application, but cannot create it from scratch.
Meanwhile, I am trying to get the VS code installed to check it out.
