Hi Eliot, Short answer: When asked for what domain, I think you need to enter "domain.com", not "dev.domain.com". The next page is where you get to specify the hostname.
Broc For the longer answer, I thought I'd share some of the other subtle things I learned by trial and error when going down these roads, including the use of domain "aliases". I am regurgitating the following (edited) notes from my personal tech journal, if they might be useful too. First, let's assume you have the domain 'domain.com' as your main domain that you have signed up with Google Apps. If you are using another domain name other than your primary domain name, the you must setup domain aliases from your Google Apps control panel for "Domain Settings", i.e., https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain.com/DomainSettingsDomains When adding a domain to your Google Apps account, you must choose between adding it as a "fully independent" domain, or as a "domain alias". I found by trial and error that you must use a domain alias in order for it to be used as a domain name for an app engine application. Setting this up is just a matter of setting a CNAME record in your DNS that points back to google per their instructions. You must wait for the "verified" status to come through such that google recognizes your DNS change.** Once you have a verified domain alias (or you are just using your primary domain) you may visit the control panel of your app engine app, i.e., https://appengine.google.com/dashboard?&app_id=XXXXXXXXX 1) Click the "Application Settings" link on the left panel. 2) Click the "Add Domain..." button (toward the bottom of the page). 3) In the text box labelled "Domain Name", you must supply your Google Apps domain (domain.com) -- NOT the desired domain you want (prod.domain.com). 4) Click the "Add Domain..." button. (takes you to a page in your Google Apps control panel) 5) Click "Add new URL" link. 6) Supply the desired hostname after the "http://";, and choose a domain from a fixed set of choices, which include your primary domain, and your domain aliases, but not any "full citizen" domains you have added to your Google Apps. 7) Click "Add". ** When I setup my DNS CNAME, it was stuck in "verifying..." mode for several days, past the 48 hours advertised for verification. I had to email Google Apps support and ask them to fix it. They did, quickly, citing something about their "propagation process" gone awry. I thought nothing of it, except that all of this happened again a second time when I added a second alias. I hope it is no longer an issue. Just a heads up.
