If you purchased your domain through GoDaddy and want to forward its traffic to an application hosted on Google App Engine, don't start at GoDaddy domains settings, it'll just complicate the process.
Start at Google cloud console. Here is a link to the only instructions you need. The process is simple: Click Add Custom Domain under {my app} -> App Engine -> Settings -> Custom Domains and follow the prompts. Google will verify that you own the domain and then allow you to configure domain forwarding. After configuration is saved, it'll take up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect, but it's usually faster than that.
At this point sub-domain forwarding should work. To forward your naked domain, you need to login to GoDaddy, go to My Account -> Domains -> {domain name} -> DNS Zone File and add all A and AAAA records listed on Google cloud console. Use @ as a host name when adding the records. Give it some time before testing. In my case it took about 5 minutes for the changes to take effect, but it may take longer.
