GeoPt working on localhost but not on appengine

[Surya Yadav]

I'm storing an entity with a GeoPt property and would like users to be able to retrieve entities that have a value in said GeoPt property within a bounding box from a given GeoPt. It is working fine on localhost but on uploading to the appengine it is showing permission error while creating geospatial index.

On searching I found this link 

https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=11963#c14.

It says that you need to be included in the Alpha group.

How can I be added to this alpha group? Who should I mail to?

Thanks,

Surya

Hi Surya

In this document you can find both the link for the form you will have to fill, and some more information about Geospatial queries in datastore :).

Cheers

Hi Patrice,

The document you shared says "Alpha program has reached capacity and we are no longer considering any new candidates. Thank you very much your interest and stay tuned for the Beta which will be open to everyone!".

When will the Beta program be available ??

Thanks

Hi again,

Apologies, I shouldn't use bookmark links without re-reading them.

Unfortunately, I have no news in regards to the beta-release of GeoPt. As a company, Google rarely lets release dates known in advance, so I think you'll just have to keep an eye out for the beta release.

Cheers!
