How to create custom fields that are accessible in custom apps and workflows?

Hello,

  1. I’m looking to create a new custom applications and I have gone through the process of installing the sdk and have created the test app. However, the instructions are to use the terminal on a MAC, but most enterprises, including where I work, use Microsoft Windows. So where can I find the instructions to create apps in a Windows environment?

  2. These new apps, ideally, will create new ticket fields for better manageability of data input and hopefully add more flexibility to workflows, but what I am not sure is how the custom application will connect with ticket fields and workflows.

I hope I can get some feedback as to where I might find information or be provided information.

Thank you
