The whole custom domain is extremely complicated. 

I have written in the past that “PaaS makes many difficult things easy and a 
few easy things difficult or impossible”.

Google AppEngine custom domains and SSL support is an example of the latter. I 
am still hopeful that Google will listen but a comment/post from Google would 
be encouraging.

I’d tell you to star the item to add this to AppsForDomains, but that doesn’t 
seem to do any good.

Naked Domains used to work, then they broke it. They clear the stars when they 
unbreak it for a few hours, then they break it again.

Also if your naked domain has a different DNS record than your WWW Google the 
search engine gives you a pretty stiff penalty.  Awesome don’t you think? Yeah 
me to.

Now I can access my app at www.customdomain.com, but not at customdomain.com.  

 

 

 

Generally the easiest option is to redirect the "naked domain" to the www host. 
You can use Google Apps to do the redirect, but note that Google Apps doesn't 
preserve path information while redirecting. Most registrars provide the 
ability to do the redirects for free; which registrar are you using?

 

If you're using GoDaddy, you can go into Launch Domain Manager > Add Forwarding 
> select the 301 Permanent redirect option > select Forward Only (NOT forward 
with masking). Other registrars have similar settings.
