Issue
I cannot publish/deploy my AI Studio app. When I click **Publish**, the publish wizard cycles through all 8 steps endlessly without completing:
1. Reviewing features
2. Gathering app details
3. Preparing Google Cloud Project
4. Running launch checks
5. Optimizing for speed
6. Deploying to cloud
7. Verifying app URL
8. Packing up code / Checking for app description
It loops back to step 1 and never finishes. The error message displayed is:
**“Suspicious activity detected. Request blocked for project gen-lang-client-0995788…”**
Details
- **Google Cloud Project ID:** `gen-lang-client-0995788..`
- **AI Studio App ID:** `c10d6d72-ce63-4581-aa50-3e5c03c48..`
- **Cloud Run URL (old version still serving):** `https://ais-dev-fixhq4xbtt7wse5n3adqtl-74048146861..us-east1.run.app/`
- **Custom domain:** `designesy.ai.studio/`
- **Billing account:** Active (confirmed via Google Cloud Billing Support)
- **Support case:** #73669254 (P2, In Progress)
What I’ve already verified
1. **Google Cloud Billing Support** confirmed billing account `010972-ECF9D7-C91..` is **ACTIVE** with no issues.
2. Cloud Billing Support confirmed the project’s **abuse status is “okay”** on the Cloud Platform side — no abuse flag visible there.
3. Cloud Billing Support confirmed that **AI Studio and Google Cloud Platform are separate systems** — they cannot see or access AI Studio internals.
4. They directed me to this forum to reach the **AI Studio engineering team** directly.
What the app is
The app is a legitimate **design scoring tool** — users enter a URL and it scores the site against design system criteria (typography, color, motion, accessibility, etc.) using Gemini. It’s built entirely within AI Studio using React + TypeScript. The updated code (v3) includes image upload, share/export features, and a /100 score scale. The code is saved in the AI Studio editor but cannot be deployed.
What I need
Can an AI Studio engineer check the `gen-lang-client-0995788…` project on the **AI Studio side** (not Cloud Platform) for any suspicious-activity flag or publish block? The Cloud side is clean — this appears to be an AI Studio-internal issue. The publish wizard infinite loop suggests a backend check is failing silently and retrying.
Thank you!
