Hi,

I am new to the servicenow ecosystem and I am trying to figure out what to use to develop an app that can be published to the App Store. 

There is going to be custom frontend, api calls outside of the platform, data model. 

There is a lot of content but it would be great to know if someone is starting out today, what should they do? There is for example, the now-sdk, but not sure how to incorporate frontend into it. There are specific examples using service now CLI to create a project and built a page. Both frontend and backend can't be in the same project? We primarily use vscode.

Hi @KamranC 

Greetings!!

You can build the custom app in ServiceNow but if you are building the App on PDI then you can't publish it if you are on a client instance then you can publish it. To build the custom app you can use App enhancer studio or the latest one of ServiceNow Studio. You can bring your code via GitHub.

You can explore App Engine and ServiceNow to study more on the ServiceNow docs site.

Hi Atul,

I am looking more for doing development outside of the platform and pushing the code into it. That is what I can do with the sdk. I am trying to figure out how to do the same with custom webpages.

Thanks
