App Engine: Endpoints not updated

Question

I wrote 2 endpoints with Google App Engine, which run flawlessly on localhost. Let their names be A and B.

Now I wanted to add push functionality (GCM + APNS). So I downloaded the Mobile Backend Starter code from Google ( https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/solutions-mobile-backend-starter-java ) and integrated that code into my project (which I am developing using Android Studio). This adds two endpoint classes EndpointV1 and BlobEndpoint. So far, so good.

Now whenever I run and deploy my code it seems to work normally:

./gradlew backend:appengineRun
./gradlew backend:appengineUpdate

The update is successful, too:

The version gets deployed and I can see that it is successfully updated online (I am also using the correct version). But whatever I do, it has completely hidden the endpoint B in the API Explorer - but the new endpoints for push are shown.

Moreover, I now reverted to my old code locally (no push endpoints). And the push endpoints are still shown in the API Explorer.

Am I completely missing something here? What am I doing wrong if the endpoints show up on localhost flawlessly?

After getting some sleep the new API showed up just the next morning. So it seems it was an internal issue with App Engine. If you have the same problem:

1. Just wait a couple of hours for the problem to fix itself
2. or (better) open a support case for this problem and link your project ID.
