I have a question about Google App Engine.
If a custom domain has been added, App Engine will prompt the DNS record in the last setup step.
I wonder where to get the DNS records when the custom domain has been already set up?
According to this documentation on Updating DNS records at your domain registrar
You can retrieve DNS records any time on the Custom Domains tab of the App Engine Settings page.
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Custom Domains tab of the App Engine Settings page. The page lists DNS records for all of the domains you have mapped to your app.
Sign in to your domain registrar web site and update your DNS records with the records

I have website in Google App Engine and I pointed a domain name (Example : mywebsite.com) in custom domain panel. This is a SAAS project so my users / customer add their domain name for white label.
This is for a Google App Engine serverless cloud by Google. and I want to add customer domain names.
When I add Cname at my domain provider dns system.
I add Cname like track.otherdomain.com to -> www.mywebsite.com
when when I open track.otherdomain.com it's display error 404.
So How can my users connect their domain name to my app engine hosted website for white labeling / own branding. (SAAS)
Purchased a domain from Google domains and updated settings of my App engine application to add my domain as a Custom domain.
My App engine App link: http://fooapp.appspot.com. Verified that actual link works.
From console.cloud.google.com ->AppEngine->Settings->Custom Domains
verified custom domain ( foobar.com )
"Point your domain to fooapp" (Step-2)
Configure resources and Done
Even after 48hours (wait period for dns propogation), when I launch http://www.foobar.com or http://foobar.com or http://www.sub.foobar.com, I do not see my app engine site. It redirects to http://www.dnsrsearch.com.
nslookup foobar.com shows "Can't find foobar.com: No answer"
What am I missing?
Below is the summary of listings I see under Custom Domains tab in console.cloud.google.com
Was able to resolve it following steps in Google documentation
I had to add Custom resource records under my custom domain's DNS on http://domains.google.com
I recently configured my Google App Engine app to have a custom domain. I set up my naked domain (myapp.com) by including a TXT record with host "#" and the value provided by Google in my DNS setup with my domain registrar. I then added the four "A" and four "AAAA" records provided by Google.
I then set up "www.myapp.com" using a CNAME record with host "www" and value "ghs.googlehosted.com.".
However, I've noticed that when I type "www.myapp.com" into my browser, I'm only directed to my app sometimes. Other times I'm redirected to the domain landing page of my registrar.
Any idea why this is happening?
I have registered a domain when I was registering Google App for business.
I'm just wondering if I could let that domain point to my server instead of Google site?
If not, how can I release the domain and register it(the same name) from some other domain name provider?
You can associate your purchased domain with your App Engine application. Go to the Admin Console and then Application Settings. You will see a Domain Setup section. Click on Add Domain and follow the steps. For further details, check out the instructions.
Yes, you can manage your DNS records even if you bought the domain as part of the Google Apps sign up. In case you don't want to host your website on Google App Engine or Google Sites you can access the DNS credentials for your assigned provider (Enom, GoDaddy) at Domains -> Advanced DNS Settings from there you should login to your provider console in order to change the settings.

If you want to transfer to another provider, follow the standard procedure that each provider has, it usually requires so email confirmation back and forth. Also, make sure not to renew your domain automatically in the Google Apps admin console, otherwise you may be billed twice for the domain.
Now that Google is offering DNS-as-a-service in the Cloud Platform I wonder when they will end the partner DNS hosting and manage it themselves from end to end.
I'm unable to map a custom domain to my Google App Engine app. The steps I've already taken are:
I'm the admin of the Google Apps account
I'm the owner of the Google App Engine Account
I've added the domain to the "Domains" section of Google Apps
I've verified ownership of the domain within Google Apps
I've correctly setup the MX records of the domain
I've checked that the domain was correctly setup using: https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/
However, for the last 3 days in the Domains section of Google Apps it says "MX records setup validation in progress".
Additionally, when I go to add the domain within the Application settings of the Google App Engine account I get redirected to a sign in page (despite already being signed in, and an admin within Google Apps, and the owner of the Google App Engine app). Either way when I go to sign in again I just get redirected back to the signin page and I'm not able to get any farther.
Also, I have billing enabled for the App Engine account. I've configured app engine domains numerous times before and never had these issues. Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
Following #presveva's suggestion I setup a new Google Apps account (despite already having an existing one) and the first page after creating a new Google App was a server error. After refreshing the page and verifying ownership of the domain I went to add the domain to App Engine.
On the "Please accept the Google App Engine terms and conditions to continue" page, first of all no terms even showed (numerous XMLHttpRequest errors on the page), and after submitting "I accept. Continue to add this service" the next page stated "An error occurred while trying to install this application. Please try again later."
This process is horribly broke and would be great if Google addressed this.
I know this this post is old but I ran into the same issue.
All ready running Google Apps for my primary domain.
Created a new app and registered a new domain name for that.
Don't want to get a new payed Google Apps account for the app domain.
#presveva is right but there is one way around it.
Use your current Google Apps account and add the app domain as a alias for your primary domain.
Make the admin account of your Google Apps domain owner of the Google App Engine (GAE) application.
Add the GAE app to your Google Apps account via the Google Apps admin interface.
Setup a custom domain name for the domain alias, your new app domain.
Note: If you use Google Sites for your domain you can't use www. Disable sites if you want to use GAE.
For now, the only one way for using custom domain in GAE is signup a Google Apps account (domains article).
Notice that the domain need to be the primary domain of account, a new account for domain.
The docs I have linked mentions a free single-user account but it has been replaced by a 50$ credit for a business Google Apps account (forum annunce)
