gcloud preview app will go away

[tmatsuo]

The README has some links to:
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/preview/app
but it will go away soon.

Update: it has gone away. Looks like there are still some references; see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42033868/cannot-deploy-to-gcloud

By design, one cannot remove artifacts from a maven repository, so this code will be there forever. The way the customer can workaround it is to either upgrade all toolchain to latest, or downgrade/pin to an older Cloud SDK release...

Been trying to build and deploy first google cloud / android sample app - "playchat". I have installed the latest maven and latest google cloud sdk as you've recommended, but getting invalid choice preview errors.

[INFO] Running gcloud app deploy...

Not sure how to overcome this. I tried "pinning" an older version of gcloud (140.0.0), but that opened up a whole new can of worms. Any ideas for me?
