Organization Name won't update in Google Cloud Platform - google-app-engine

So, I'm in Google Cloud Platform, launching a Wordpress site and I Am at the stage of deploying.
I notice the billing account and organization details. The company changed names and I've updated all the company profile details with the new name. Thing is, Cloud Platform has not pulled this thorough. There is a helpful link to 'Edit in Google Admin console' at Google Cloud Platform > Admin > [select organisation], hover over (wrong) org name then a settings box appears. In this settings box the link takes you to edit org details at G Admin console.
But, there are no more records I can update the name in.
So, my question is - why has this name changed failed to pull through from Google Admin console to the Google Cloud Platform? Is this permanent, written in stone or can this be corrected? Is so, how?Image shows Cloud Platform settings with wrong org name and ID along with G Admin console details with correct name
We can't launch this project on Cloud Platform with the wrong company name!

I contacted Google, the Support Engineer came back after 48 hours and said I was imagining things.
Problem has been fixed by nice gremlins.
Not sure when Google rolled out this Organization feature on the Cloud Platform but I suspect this was a rectified glitch.

How to add a Client App to another GSuite Company?

I've developed an application that works through Google's GSuite using OAuth2. The app is working fine and is part of the GSuite account that was set up to allow testing while developing it (which is the owning account of the app in the Developer Console). However, I now want to give the app to another GSuite company but can't see how to get them to add it?
The application has been submitted for review with Google to get it added via the Marketplace but we're keen to get the second company using it ASAP. I've had a look through the Google docs but couldn't find anything that appeared relevant and even tried to see if I could find an existing question on here. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated!
Cheers
You won't be able to give it to another company until it's published, so if the review is taking linger than expected, your best is to contact Google GSuite support

Unable to create project in Google Cloud: "Cloud Service disabled by admin. Please contact admin to restore service"

I try to create my first Google Project, and i got this error
Create Project: My Project
APPHOSTING_ADMIN Cloud Service disabled by admin. Please contact admin to restore service. com.google.apps.framework.request.StatusException: generic::FAILED_PRECONDITION: APPHOSTING_ADMIN Cloud Service disabled by admin. Please contact admin to restore service
Anyone any idea?
I am the admin from the GSuite account. I had checked my permission stuff in my account and I don't think there is a place for me to disable me from using GCP.
One possible reason for such error message would be the disabled G-Suite access to the Google Developers Console service.
Check in your GSuite Admin console Apps -> Additional Google services if Google Developers Console is enabled:
If it's not - enable it and re-try
Sorry to bump an old thread - but I just ran into this and wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out. Google Cloud Project (and Dev Console) were on for everyone but I could not create a project logged in as the Super Admin.
Go to Apps and click on Google Cloud Console. There's a single option 'Allow users to create projects' and for some reason in this company's tenant... It was unchecked. Checked it and project created. Bizarre. Has always been on for other clients apparently.
It seems I had the same or a similar issue- "google cloud platform service has been disabled error". Due to it, I could not create projects.
It seems the trouble was related to my university's email account
foo#mail.huji.ac.il. Once I used my gmail account the problem was solved.
This response from Google support resolved the issue for us:
To activate this service, please follow the steps:
1- Access the admin console and go to Apps -> Additional Google Services
2- Look for the service “Google Cloud Platform” and click on the box next to it
3- In to top right corner click in “ON”
4- Confirm you want to turn it on in the pop-up box.

How to associate a pre-existing billing account with a new app engine project in Google cloud console?

I have a pre-existing billing account for an earlier project, that works fine.
How can I associate a new project with that same account?
In the Google Developer Console, if I select the new project and try to enable billing it gives me the forms to create a new billing account. I did not find a way to associate the project's billing to the existing account.
If I look at the existing billing account I can see my earlier project in the list of projects but have found no way add a new project to the account.
If I have enabled billing for one of my applications already, why do I have to do it again for my other apps?
We want to provide developers with fine-grained control over each of
their applications. They may wish to have a separate budget for
different apps, or apps that run entirely on free quota, rather than a
single budget for each.
DOCUMENTATION
Try hitting cancel at the end when it asks you to choose a name for the news billing account. After I did that I was able to associate my second project with my primary billing account. I also noticed some weirdness with a billing account that was in trial mode. Once I "upgraded" this billing account I think I could associate other projects with it.
Of course make sure you are an admin for the billing account and all projects you wish to associate with that billing.

Cannot purchase Support from Google -- no button or link

I'm following Google's instructions for purchasing Silver support, but there's no button or link for changing my current Bronze level of support to Silver. I think my appengine app has been integrated into Cloud Console -- I login to Cloud Console and I see my app. Also, on the appengine console, under Application Settings in the Cloud Integration part of the page, it says, "The project was created successfully. See the Basics section for more details." It doesn't offer a button for integrating my app with Cloud Console because, I think, this has already happened.
The instructions say to select my app in Cloud Console and then select Support from the left menu. The page I get tells me my current support level ("Your support package: Bronze"), but it offers no way to buy a different level of support.
Any pointers on how I can purchase support? I want to give Google $150/month for this, and they seem not to want to take my money.

Using App Engine with a custom domain, without paying for Google Apps?

Can you use Google App Engine with your own custom domain, without paying for the whole Google Apps business package?
The setup instructions suggests this is not possible. Has anyone found a work around?
You no longer need google apps for using custom domain with GAE. you can use custom domains without signing up for Google Apps for Business.
go to https://console.developers.google.com and click on your
project and select appengine then click on settings
there you can add and verify your domain using Google Webmaster central
Once you're done verifying you're all set to go !
IF one has had a free Google Apps account prior to the December 2012 deadline, there does seem to be an easy solution to mapping a new GAE app to a newly registered domain. I happen to still have such prior account for which I do not have to pay (yet?), I believe. I suspect other long-term GAE developers are in a similar situations. So, I am adding quick instructions I found and translated from here. (There are many related threads on the topic on stackoverflow. This question seems the most relevant for adding these notes.)
Login to your existing Google Apps account
Go to "Domains" and hit "add a domain or a domain alias"
Keep "Add a domain alias of ..." selected and enter the new domain name in the field
Go through the required domain verification process
Now back on the main admin screen, hit "Google Apps" and click "add Services" (a box icon on the top right)
Under "Other Services" enter your GAE app ID
On the "Settings for " page coming up, hit "Add new URL"
Select the domain name added in Step 1+, adding a prefix such as "www" in front
Confirm and be done with it
Just done and verified. Works for me and I suspect the same procedure would work for any further domains the same way.
DISCLAIMER: Again, this is for people with a prior Google Apps account. However, it should also be relevant for people that paid for a single such account. This single account should then be sufficient to map multiple GAE apps to multiple domains, if you don't need an independent copy of the other Google apps goodies every time.
Starting June 15 and for a limited time, Google will offer a USD $50.00 App Engine credit for Google App Engine developers who have recently purchased a new Google Apps for Business domain account for their App Engine application.
To review the terms and conditions for this site and request a credit for an eligible application, please visit this site.
Here is the google groups discussion : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-appengine/jC_K-YlmXhM
Quoting from the link above:
We are working on a solution that will make this process simpler for
developers and not require a paid subscription for Google Apps for
Business.
In the meantime, starting from June 15, we will offer a $50 App Engine
credit for developers who need to purchase a new Google Apps for
Business domain in order to associate a domain with an App Engine
account.
Actually there is one free solution, for people that don't have Google Apps account yet.
Go to AppEngine -> Application Settings -> Add domain -> Sign up for Google Apps
Start a free 30 day trial - Do not add the billing options
Setup your domain
Add the domain to your app engine project
When the 30 day trial expire the domain will still work.
