The NowWebSDK class provides a single function that enables you to
load web pages hosted on your ServiceNow instance in a native web view and
Cabrillo. It automatically handles user authentication and session management instead of forcing
users to log into the instance through a login web page.

## NowWebSDK - makeWebService(instanceURL: URL, nowWebSdkCallbacks: NowWebViewServiceDelegate? = null) {#ariaid-title2}

Creates a NowWeb service.

The following code example shows how to call this function.

     private var nowWebService: NowWebService? = null

    /**
      * Create the NowWebService once in the lifetime of the application, inside the Application
      * class or another manager class that will be injected into other classes via dagger/hilt.
      * NowWebService should be created after initializing the NowSDK.
      */
    suspend fun getNowWebService(): NowWebService? {
      if (nowWebService != null) return nowWebService

      return NowWebSDK.makeWebService(URL("https://instance-name.service-now.com"), object :
        NowWebViewServiceDelegate {
        override fun flowEnded(activity: Activity, flowName: String?) {
          Log.i("NowWebSdk", "flow ended")
        }

        override fun requestedDismissal(activity: Activity) {
          Log.i("NebWebSdk", "screen should be dismissed")
        }

        override fun navigationFailed(activity: Activity, error: String) {
          Log.i("NebWebSdk", "navigation failed")
        }

        override fun unsupportedUrl(activity: Activity, uri: Uri) {
          Log.i("NebWebSdk", "URL is unsupported")
        }
      }).getOrThrow()
          .also { this.nowWebService = it }
    }
