Why the need to prepend "s~" before appid for appcfg.py?

[Krishna Patel]

I thought I used to be able to say simply:

appcfg.py download_data --application=APPID . . .

Why do I now need to prepend a s~ to my app-id:

-application=s~APPID . . .

It took me several hours to figure out that this was the cause of a problem others have also had:

Can google autodetect prefix on server-side or auto-try different prefixes from client side?

But in a different scenario.

I was trying to use the Task Queue Rest API and it took me the whole afternoon to figure out that I had this prefix ( "s~" ) missing.
