When using *CampaignCriterionService* to add a *MobileDevice*
CampaignCriterion to a mobile-app install Display network campaign, it
seems that some valid devices cannot be targeted and return the following
error:
*[CriterionError.CANNOT_TARGET_OBSOLETE_CRITERION @
operations[0].operand.criterion;*
For example, if I try to target the *HTC Hero* Android device, the
following SOAP exchange happens:
*REQUEST:*
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:mutate>
<ns1:operations>
<ns1:operator>ADD</ns1:operator>
<ns1:operand>
<ns1:campaignId>{REDACTED}</ns1:campaignId>
<ns1:criterion xsi:type="ns1:MobileDevice">
<ns1:id>600329</ns1:id>
<ns1:Criterion.Type>MobileDevice</ns1:Criterion.Type>
<ns1:deviceName>Hero</ns1:deviceName>
<ns1:manufacturerName>HTC</ns1:manufacturerName>
<ns1:deviceType>DEVICE_TYPE_MOBILE</ns1:deviceType>
<ns1:operatingSystemName>Android</ns1:operatingSystemName>
</ns1:criterion>
</ns1:operand>
</ns1:operations>
</ns1:mutate>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

My question is, since I got this device from *ConstantDataService*, and it
looks the same as any other valid targetable device, how do I determine
which devices are OK to target and which are obsolete?
Thanks.
Mark
