As part of the transition to the new architecture, you can no longer add or change smartapps in the Groovy cloud. The old ones will continue to run for a little while, but they, too, will be going away.
See the following discussion from earlier this morning for more details.
SmartThings is in the middle of a transition to a whole new architecture.
In the past, SmartThings offered a free cloud service running the groovy programming language. Customers could upload both custom Device Type Handlers and custom SmartApps to their account in that cloud and they would appear in the SmartThings app and would run as needed.
Under the new architecture, that cloud service is gone, so none of the old code will work. During this transition period, some old stuff customers had previously uploaded will keep running for a little while, but you are no longer allowed to make changes or add any new groovy code.
Under the new architecture, Groovy device type handlers will be replaced with Edge Drivers written in the Lua programming language. These will run on your own hub.

And here’s the official announcement
