How do we set up a domain name for the Google App Maker?
I've got a domain name from google and working on an app maker project.
I was not able to find any help in Google App Maker documentation, Stackoverflow or anywhere on the internet.

App Maker apps are only available to users in your G Suite organization. You can't share apps with external users. You cannot use your custom domain name for App Maker apps.
There is a feature request for this ability: link.
If you understand how to buid a website you could create a custom URL with your domain name that when hit redirects the user to the actual URL. This is very easy to do and only takes a line of code. This could also be configured in the Apache webserver or just about all webservers.
Example:
User goes to your website: https://www.example.com/my-url
Your website redirects my-url to the App Maker URL. I would use a 301 for a permanent redirect or a 307 for a temporary redirect.

How to add custom subdomains to Google search

I have a web application where when a user registers, a subdomain is created.
Example :
user1.domain.com
user2.domain.com
user3.domain.com
How do I automatically add sites on these subdomains to Google search ?
The only option I came up with is to use Google search console API. But for some reason I don't think it's right. It is worth noting that the main domain does not have links to custom subdomains.

First, about how to verify your Azure Website ownership, you can refer to these Google documents as below.
Handling Android App Links
Secure and specific: Android App Links use HTTP URLs that link to a website domain you own, so no other app can use your links. One of the requirements for Android App Links is that you verify ownership of your domain through one of our website association methods.
and
Add verification for your deep links: Configure your app to request verification of app links. Then, publish a Digital Asset Links JSON file on your websites to verify ownership through Google Search Console. Learn more in Verify App Links.
Verify Android App Links
To verify ownership of both your app and your website, the following steps are required:
Request automatic app link verification in your manifest. This signals to the Android system that it should verify your app belongs to the URL domain used in your intent filters.
Declare the relationship between your website and your intent filters by hosting a Digital Asset Links JSON file at the following location:
https://domain.name/.well-known/assetlinks.json
The section Verify your website of App Indexing on Google Search in Play Console Help introduces the steps
Sign in to your Play Console.
Click All Applications All applications.
Select the application you'd like to verify.
On the left menu, click Development tools > Services & APIs.
Under "App Indexing from Google Search," click Verify website.
Type your website address.
Click Verify.
Go to Google Search Console.
On the left menu, click All Messages.
Open the verification request message (example: "Google Play: Link http://www.yourwebsite.com to android-app://example.com.yourpackage.name").
Click Approve the request.
Review the information and click Approve. Once approved, your app will appear on the
Search Console Home Page for your account. Be sure that your app enables deep links.
If you have a Google Search Console account or not, here is two links of Verify your site ownership of Search Console Help for old and new Search Console will be helpful.
Tip: Only Google Search Console users with "Owner" permissions can view and approve site verification requests. If you don't see your site verification request, make sure you're signed in using an account with "Owner" permissions.
Second, the xxxx.azurewebsits.net is just a subdomain of azurewebsites.net which be registed by Azure and you can lookup the related info via https://www.whois.net/ as the figure below, so it's not belong to you.
Therefore, you need to register a domain name like abc.com in the Domain Name Registrar like GoDaddy or others, and add a CNAME record with it into DNS server like Azure DNS, then to follow the above steps required by Google to verify your website ownership and collect the necessary information to make a PDF document to send to Google.

set up a test URL( drupal website) in cpanel

I want to create a test url to see how my drupal 7 website that I have developed in my local box looks like in the host that will eventually shows the website . this website will replace the old website already set up in cpanel. I do not want to touch the old website that is public to all in the web yet, since I want to do more testing with the new website while putting it on cpanel and also share it with only one person so I can get feedback for the website.
is there a way to set up a test website in drupal for testing and sharing with one person without impacting the public website (old website that will be eventually replaced).
I am in a rush, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can create sub-domain from cpanel like subdomain.yourDomain.com and can upload your content in subdomain and also can share credential for subdomain with 2nd person.
The second option is you can create FTP account from cpanel and can upload content in ftp user and also can give access to another person because the ftp user or subdomain user will not able to see file of your domain.

App Domain: not a valid domain. Site URL is not a valid URL

I have a domain at http://qotr.net that I'm trying to set up as an app so that I can use OAuth. It was set up a few weeks ago, and we just now finished implementing the OAuth hooks on our application, when Facebook started giving us errors.
Now, when I go to the settings page, and edit anything, I get:
Error
App Domain: qotr.net is not a valid domain.
Site URL is not a valid URL.
I have: qotr.net for the app domain and http://qotr.net for the site url.
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fqotr.net
Tells me that it can't parse qotr.net. The site is clearly up and usable, and Google OAuth works.
I can't find anything online on why it might not parse correctly; any ideas?
in the App Domain, enter your site domain without the http:// or the www. Just put in, say for my website iamzang.com
For the site URL below the page, enter http://iamzang.com/
That will do the trick. I got the same error before and with this the domain is no longer invalid.
You need to add a platform first. There you enter the full domain, e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com.
Then set the App Domain to yourdomain.com!
On facebook app registration page, under Settings -> Basic -> Basic Info try entering both domains in the App Domains space (with and w/o www)
Don't write anything in the App Domain under "Basic Info". Instead under "Select how your app integrates with Facebook" click on the check: Website with Facebook Login, which will give you a space to write in your website url (http://qotr.net).
I just got this working by using 'domain.com' in the App domain field & 'http://www.domain.com' in the Site URL field.
Hope that helps.
