How to reconfigure the appids of Google Cloud's App Engine? - google-app-engine

I am using Google Could’s App Engine for web proxy. I am suspicious that they have been hacked because the key for my google account was changed but I didn't remember changing it. I am encountering increased problems with my web proxy recently. I think sb might have installed sth in my App Engine to spy on my traffic. Since I don't want to give up the free appids, how can I re-install them in order to erase possible malwares?

Google Cloud Platform - App Engine - can't stop and delete a version

I wonder is it possible to stop and remove an app's version? I use App Engine.
I tried many times but no success. Also I tried to do it if the app is inactive, still can't remove it.
As stated in the documentation you can stop an App Engine version only if your app has manual or basic scaling. Also, you cannot delete a version that is sharing traffic.
Meaning, if you only have one version in the default App Engine service, the only way you can delete the version of your App Engine app is by deleting your project.
There's currently a public Feature Request open to allow a full deletion of an App Engine app in a project which you can find here.
In any way, if you wish to, you can always disable the App Engine app completely as described here.

Google Cloud Datastore requires app engine?

Im creating a Node.js website that probably won't have loads of traffic, and was looking into cheap solutions to host the site. Came across Google cloud services offering free usage for their services with limits. A f1-mirco is more than enough for my needs, but I will happily pay for some usage if it goes over by any chance.
I wanted to setup a linux centOS 7 on GCE (which I already did), and run my application and REST API on it. Now here comes the problem.
I tried to use Google's datastore service, but it sprung an app engine instance and without it datastore won't work.
Is datastore entirely relying on app engine to function?? In the docs, it said if you use any of the client API, it requires app engine. What can I do to not use the client api and query data then? Don't want to use the app engine at the moment or datastore is just not for me then?
Thanks for any help!
Some of the underlying infrastructure of Cloud Datastore and App Engine are still tied together for creation, etc. So while creating an Cloud Datastore database also defines an App Engine instance for the project, it doesn't require you to use it. You don't get charged for App Engine either, unless you decide to deploy an App using it.
You should be totally fine use the Google Cloud Node client library on the f1 micro instance.

Managing Google Appengine App on Grandfathered Account

I have a grandfathered Google Apps for Work account since I had my appengine app running since before they started the whole Apps for Work thing and don't have to pay anything.
I haven't touched the actual app since long before the Apps for Work thing came around, and though I got the emails about it and opened the console once or twice, I haven't opened the app engine console forever.
I also have a google cloud platform account that I use for the VMs(not GAE).
The problem came when I went to actually update my app. I found that while the app is most definitely still running and accessible, and while my Apps for Work console still lists it, when I try to manage it, it redirects me to my cloud platform account, which has no GAE apps. I haven't even touched GAE on my cloud platform account, and there were no apps listed, just the docs.
So how do I access my app and edit it?

App Engine SSL - Apps not allowing SSL

Overview of problem. Site was running on a Free version of Google Apps for over a year as a simple web page. We started developing it we deleted the old Google Apps and and migrated it to our primary App Engine account to avoid billing issues of two+ accounts. We couldn't get App Engine to recognize the Custom Domain even though it was in the Domains tab of our Google Apps Account. In searching I found Google limits using domains on App Engine (http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182081 scroll down to App Engine) I had to recreate a separate Google Apps account to verify ownership of the domain. Site is up and operational now outside of SSL. The issue is that when I go to https://admin.google.com/CPanelHome#DomainSettings/subtab=domains and type the app id to enable SSL on the domain Apps account it routes me to create an App Engine app instead of to billing. Because the app is running on the primary App Engine account not the Domain account.
It seems someone must have ran across this and solved it. How do I enable my primary Google Apps account to verify ownership of the domains and allow App Engine to use it? I have a lot of domains that will be hosted on App Engine and a lot of integration between the sites that would really need to be all under a single account to facilitate.
I noticed in searching that Google is offering a free year of Google Apps for customers using App Engine to host a application. Is Google expecting every domain to have a full Google Apps account and host on separate App Engine accounts? If so that would really limit our ability to use App Engine.
After waiting for three days for an answer I am moving on. I believe I tried every way imaginable to accomplish getting multiple domains on a primary Google Apps account to be verified and have SSL enabled. I went so far as to try it with a domain that has never had any Google services. Just in case there were some settings that were causing issues from left over configuration.
So the resolution of this at this time is Google expects you to have a full Google Apps account per domain to enable SSL, or Google App Engine on it. I believe they will be removing the Free Google App Account in the near future. This effectively means that hosting on App Engine will get expensive as a Google App Account is $50/year, and if you use a CloudSQL instance it will be at minimum $9/mo. That is on top of the bandwidth and usage fees.
I have already deactivated billing and disabled the apps on those accounts and have moved them over to a VPS. This is the third year I have spent a lot of time trying to get basic sites using SSL established on Google. While this year it is possible to do it, in the end you pay an arm and a leg for it.
I love Google and really want App Engine to be viable. But I just don't think they will pull it together. All my friends have went with Azure, RackSpace, and the granddaddy Amazon. It really makes me sad that Google is so far from viable and even worse that Azure just works.
If anyone at Google wishes to contact me feel free to do so. If there is something I missed feel free to open this and give directions on how to host multiple domains on a single App Engine / Apps account with SSL. I would greatly appreciate it.

Google Web Toolkit throws java.security.AccessControlException

I'm trying to read a sqlite db from the server side code in my gwt project. It throws AccessControlException. I looked a lot on the web and all solutions seems to be disabling Google App Engine, but when I do this, I can't run my project. I'm new to GWT and I have no idea where it runs when Google App Engine is shut down. I look for possibly this two solutions: Any setting that Google App Engine is set to be able to read any file, or other engine that I run my application on. Thanks
The problem is that Google App Engine (GAE) does not support sqlite (I assume you are reading it using JDBC).
If your intention is to make a GWT project that will not be deployed on GAE, you should create the project disabling this feature from the very beginning, because afterwards its a nightmare as you are experiencing right now.
If your intention is to deploy in GAE, you must use the google's persistence mechanisms (JDO) to store your data. SqlLite is off the table here.
