Creating Apps in SAP Build

SAP Build provides a turnkey environment for coding, testing, integrating, and managing the application lifecycle. It also provides a single-entry point for projects – SAP Build Lobby. This documentation will guide you through the steps to follow for creating and managing a Mobile Development Kit application from the SAP Build Lobby and continue the development using the Storyboard feature in SAP Business Application Studio.
