A small update, removing the quotes around the IP Address worked:
GCE_INI_PATH=inventory/gce.ini ansible all -i inventory/localhost -m gce -a
"project_id=myproject name=trial
metadata={'Name':'trial','Environment':'Development'}
machine_type=f1-micro image=debian-8 external_ip=104.199.231.152
tags='dev,trial' network=ansiblenet subnetwork=dev zone=asia-east1-a
state=present" -vvvvSo, is the named ip address part not supported?
