Apps not showing on dashboard

[Roy]

... in fact the dashboard isn't showing!

When I login to appengine.google.com I only ever get redirected to
the /start Welcome page. I can create a new application, but after
creating it I just get redirected back to the start page again. I
*can* deploy to my app and I can access it, so the problem seems to be
just with the dashboard.

fwiw, the login I am using is a google apps login
( @cleverthinking.co.uk)

Any ideas?

I stumbled across the answer on the GAE home page.

"If you've created an application, but you do not see it on
appengine.google.com and you are using a Google Apps account, you can
find your apps at appengine.google.com/a/yourdomain.xyz."

Dear Googlies, please add this line of text as a footnote on the /
start page.

This frustrated the hell out of me for a bit too, until I thought
about how App Engine promotes the use of Google Apps [For Your Domain]
in order to map applications to custom domains. Still, this may be a
bug in the dashboard.

If your App Engine admin e-mail address is an Apps address (probably
any edition *except* Team), it seems that you have to go to the Apps
domain name URL, which for you is:

https://appengine.google.com/a/cleverthinking.co.uk/

rather than the usual URL, which does authentication based on Google
Accounts. The Apps authentication also applies to deployment -- so if
you have a Google Account using the same e-mail address as your Apps
account, you need to use your Apps account's password to deploy.

I don't know if this properly falls back to using Google Accounts if
(for instance) Apps is set up for your domain, but the specific App
Engine admin address you're using does not have a matching account
under the Apps domain control panel.

Moderators, feel free to make this a sticky. I can foresee a lot of
people getting confused over this. (Better yet, fix the dashboard to
redirect to the Apps domain if that's where it should be for a given
account. <grin>)
