Official Google Mac Blog: App Engine Launcher For Mac
Sorry if this is off topic. If it is, please let me know where to post. I don't see a GAE site on SE. I can't update my Google App Engine Launcher. All the new install documentation I have found omits anything about it.
I have version 1.9.37. There is no.dmg file or.app file in the current GAE SDK downloads. I can't find a separate download either. I have not been able to find a statement by Google in any release notes or bug reports, etc. So again the question is: Has the Google App Engine Launcher for MAC OSX been deprecated?

Posted by John Skidgel, Senior Interaction Designer While I was writing scenario applications to test Google App Engine, I had the following idea: If BBEdit, Dreamweaver, CSSEdit, and TextMate were at a party, what kind of application would be welcomed to help with App Engine development? As silly as this sounds, it led me to think more about workflow. I used:. a few applications for Python, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. the command line to run applications and to view logs. a browser to test locally and to access the local developer console. the command line to deploy the application.
a browser to view a live application's dashboard. I began to think about how unfriendly command line interfaces can be, and how much repetitive typing I had been doing to test and deploy applications. With that said, I worked with of the Google Mac team and, an engineer on App Engine, on a 20% project to make for Mac OS X. Now, App Engine Launcher is not a replacement for your code editor or your IDE. It improves your App Engine development experience by managing a list of your applications. With a few clicks you can run, browse, deploy, and view logs for your applications. It also has some added sugar thrown in like drag and drop, integration with your editor, and quick links to the local developer console and the live application dashboard.
If it's missing a feature that you'd like to see (like scripting, a Windows or Linux version, human-level AI;), let us know in the.
