Hi,

I tried to create a new app called "androidquery", and the web UI
shows some error (forgot exact wording).
Despite the message, I can access the admin panel for this app, so
it's created (at least half way) and the appid is reserved.

But when I deploy, it shows this error:

java.io.IOException: Error posting to URL:
https://appengine.google.com/api/appversion/create?app_id=androidquery&version=0-1-1&
404 Not Found
This application does not exist (app_id=u'androidquery').

I suppose some error happened in the middle of the app creation
process and the app is stuck?

Anyway to rescue the app or the app id? I really want to keep the app
id because it matches my .com domain.

Many thanks.

Most probably, the user id you are using for the app upload does not
have the "rights" to the application.

In the App Engine Console, go to "Administration" - "Permissions".

Here you can setup the permissions.

Hope this helps.

By user id I meant - Your Google ID.

That does it! I forgot I logged into another account.

The error from the creation process and the error message from the
deployment is confusing.

I had the same thing happen to me today. After a short while it
worked so maybe it needs to propagate through the system? Did you
receive the email stating it had been created?

I tried several other things so its possible one of those other things
did the trick.

Hi Peter,

It would be good to see what was the first error you were receiving. But on regards the second one, the error is not confusing it just means you were trying to deploy an app from a google account that did not was an owner/developer of the app ID, therefore that application did not existed in the scope of the user you were using to deploy with.

Hope this clarifies the error.

Best,
Jose

Jose,

Thanks for the clarification.

But to be very clear, the message should ideally be something like....

"You do not have rights to this application (app_id=u'androidquery')."
instead of...


"This application does not exist (app_id=u'androidquery')."

The second message only makes sense when there is no such app in App Engine!!

Hope you agree.

Thanks again.
Sam
