Set up a domain name for Google app maker

Question

How do we set up a domain name for the Google App Maker? I've got a domain name from google and working on an app maker project.

I was not able to find any help in Google App Maker documentation, Stackoverflow or anywhere on the internet.

App Maker apps are only available to users in your G Suite organization. You can't share apps with external users. You cannot use your custom domain name for App Maker apps.

There is a feature request for this ability: link.

If you understand how to buid a website you could create a custom URL with your domain name that when hit redirects the user to the actual URL. This is very easy to do and only takes a line of code. This could also be configured in the Apache webserver or just about all webservers.

Example:

User goes to your website: https://www.example.com/my-url

Your website redirects my-url to the App Maker URL. I would use a 301 for a permanent redirect or a 307 for a temporary redirect.
