While testing a Google cloud endpoint API using JS it always returned null. While investigating, I opened the API root URL in a new tab http://localhost:8888/_ah/api and the below exception was thrown:

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /_ah/api. Reason:

String index out of range: 0

Caused by:

What happens when you hit /_ah/api/explorer endpoint ? do you see the list of APIs listed and are you able to invoke/test the APIs via the API Explorer? – Romin
@Romin yes, That's why it's weird! – M.ES
Do you see any errors in the browser console just prior to invoking any API ? Have the Google client libraries loaded properly ? – Romin
@Romin Yes, Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('file://') does not match the recipient window's origin ('null'). cb=gapi.loaded_0:49 (anonymous function) – M.ES
How are you launching the app in the browser via the file:// or via the localhost.... ? – Romin

Have you tried http://localhost:8888/_ah/api/

It seems that the devapiutil takes http://localhost:8888/_ah/api as base url without check and it checks what comes after. / character will tell that's your root.
