For the past three days I have been trying to get Campaign creation for
Universal App Campaigns working on my test MCC account. My client is
programmed in PHP I have added the code below. I am using the Google Client
API for PHP to do my requests via GRPC.
I have followed the following guide to get the right settings for a
Universal App Campaign:
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/app-campaigns/create-campaign
I have tried:
- Removing every field one-by-one to but this always results in an error
saying a necessary field is missing. (except for the start & end date
fields)
- Removing all optional fields
- Creating a search campaign (which works fine)
But whatever I do, I always get the following error:
GoogleAdsException: operation_access_denied_error, This operation is not
permitted on this campaign
- or -
An error that says a required field is missing.
There is just nothing left I can think of to solve the error above without
removing fields that are required to make an App campaign. It would be very
helpful if the error specified which operation was not permitted.
(I am using the V3 objects from the googleads/google-ads-php composer
package at version 3.1.0)
$customerId = "4708071192";
