I got stuck this morning with an invalid sender error from my deployed Google app engine application (you can see the errrors in the log in the dashboard if it just says “Server Error” in the title tag) and I had to search around for a while for an answer.
I eventually figured it out and I’ll post my solution here just to make it easier for others:
- Make sure the email in your main settings.py is valid and yours/part of your groups.
- Also make sure that that email is included in the developers in the dashboard of the application. (https://appengine.google.com/)
- If its not:
- Log into the dashboard with the original user
- Go into the developers section and invite them to also be an administrator to the application
This simple walk through doesn’t only pertain to those that use Google app engine, it applies to all users of Google app engine.
Hopefully it will save someone some time.
