I'm trying to deploy an application on GAE VM. Although I'm not using the protobuf package in my app the goapp command throws the error below:
/Users/xyz/google-cloud-sdk/bin/goapp deploy ./

protobuf/proto/pointer_reflect.go should include the appengine vm tag // +build appengine appenginevm

No, the code is correct as is. The problem is whatever tool you are using is not properly interpreting build tags and is ignoring pointer_unsafe.go, which is fine to use on Managed VMs.
