This application does not exist (project_id=u'app1-152711'). To create an App Engine application in this project, run "gcloud beta app create" in your console.

Why I can not upload it?

Answer 1

This is actually the new intended behavior. App Engine will not be enabled for new projects until you go through the app creation flow in the Cloud Console under 'App Engine' to enable the App Engine service, or alternatively run gcloud beta app create from the console.

Answer 2

I just encountered this myself. The project has to be created in the Cloud Console AND you need to go through the project setup in AppEngine. Something must be broken in the API that creates the AppEngine part of the process while uploading. So doing it through the web interface creates the project for you... and then uploading will essentially fill it in.

It never used to be this way, so maybe something changed.
