i have created a new project, and am attempting to deploy the hello world node app. i get this error:

this is a new project within an existing account. i’ve noted several issues online referencing this in the past, but i cannot resolve by restarting Build Api, and I cannot clean out old versions of my app since there are none. i believe those are the only workarounds that i had found.

note - i had first attempted to deploy a more complex app than hello world, then simplified.

I have very a similar issue, I have created a new GCP project ‘project-b’ and I’d like to deploy an app on flex engine using an image from another GCP project ‘project-a’. When I try to do that I get same error message as @stlbucket :

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [7] The App Engine appspot and App Engine flexible environment service accounts must have permissions on the image [gcr.io/...].

I have added both App Engine and App Engine Flexible service accounts from ‘project-b’ to ‘project-a’ and gave them Compute Image User role but it didn’t help, I still see same error message…

@miszczu Lifesaver! I had the same issue and I fixed by giving “Storage Object Viewer” to the App Engine Standard & Flex service accounts of project-b in project-a.
