I edited my GoDaddy DNS A and CNAME records and was able to point the naked domain at my app engine app. It's possible to do even though different resources on the Internet claim that it's impossible. I suspect that Google means that it's impossible to do from Google Apps or the App Engine Dashboard, but that doesn't include advanced DNS configuration.
* I configured an A record to point *.domain.com to my app engine app IP Address * I configured a CNAME for www.domain.com to point to ghs.google.com I suspect that one of those two changes may have something to do with my success. Although honestly this isn't something that I do on a regular basis. Hope this helps! If it does, awesome!
