I have taken a look around the App Engine documentation but havent been able to find a definitive answer to my question, so I hoped i'd get an answer by posting here ;)
I am developing an Android application which makes substantial use of Google APIs; I had planned to set up my own dedicated server for tasks such as user authentication and storing certain data relating to members using the application. It would be great, having learnt of the inbuilt API support offered by App Engine, if I could make use of the App Engine service for my needs, without the need to setup and run my own server. My question however, is, am I able to use App Engine as a "web service" instead of a usual "web application"? Basically, what I had planned to do was use App Engine, via http calls from my Android App, as a mechanism to authenticate users and return security "priviliges" of their account (what content they can/cant access) and also a method of storing a "facebook style wall" for each user. In short, i'd like to use App Engine to return xml responses to my Android App - instead of using App Engine for the usual browser based web application. Is this allowed?
