Incorrect instructions to run helloworld test app

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Good day,

I just registered for the Google App Engine and had some issues with the 
instructions which I could solve asking around on Google (pun intended)

My machine is running Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon 64 bit.

I installed the app engine per the instructions on:
https://console.developers.google.com/start/appengine

The app ran locally without issues, but I could not upload to appspot

ISSUE:

On the 2nd page the instructions tell me to execute:
appcfg.py -A app-name update appengine-try-python

this returns the error: 
This application does not exist (app_id=u'app-name').

I searched on StackOverflow and somebody posted that the solution was to add 
--no_cookies to the above command. It worked.
Just in case, I erased all cookies, tried again and deploying without 
--no_cookies failed again.

The only way I can deploy to appspot is with something like:
appcfg.py -A app-name update appengine-try-python --no_cookies

What is the cause of the problem?

Rgds

Philip

replace 'app-name' with an app that you have created. If you've got a Google 
Cloud Platform project, you can use its project id in place of app-name. If you 
haven't got one, you can create one by visiting the Cloud Console 
(https://console.developers.google.com/project).
