ServiceNow SDK release notes

The ServiceNow® software development kit (SDK) enables developers to create scoped applications in source code locally in Visual Studio Code Desktop and upload changes to a ServiceNow instance. ServiceNow SDK was enhanced and updated in the Australia release.

ServiceNow SDK highlights for the Australia release

ServiceNow SDK version 4.4 includes updates to ServiceNow Fluent APIs.

See ServiceNow SDK for more information.

Important information for upgrading ServiceNow SDK to Australia

To upgrade to the latest version of the ServiceNow SDK globally or within an application, see Upgrade the ServiceNow SDK.

ServiceNow SDK version 4.4 supports integration with ServiceNow instances beginning with the Washington DC release.

On Windows systems, after upgrading to ServiceNow SDK version 4.3 or later, existing stored credentials aren’t supported due to the deprecation of Keytar. Users on Windows systems must add their user credentials again using the now-sdk auth --add command to authenticate with instances. For more information, see Authenticating to a ServiceNow instance with the ServiceNow SDK.

ServiceNow IDE

The ServiceNow IDE uses the ServiceNow SDK as its application packaging service to build applications, and the ServiceNow SDK provides the ServiceNow Fluent APIs for developing applications in source code in the ServiceNow IDE.
