I see that in this thread
<https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/IUWVu34JR8w> for a similar
problem it is recommended to use preparation steps from doc
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/app-campaigns/create-campaign#preparation>.
So I have done that, now the
code looks like
googleCampaign = Campaign.newBuilder().setName("campaign_123")
.setAdvertisingChannelType(AdvertisingChannelType.MULTI_CHANNEL)
.setAdvertisingChannelSubType(AdvertisingChannelSubType.APP_CAMPAIGN)
.setAppCampaignSetting(AppCampaignSetting.newBuilder()
.setBiddingStrategyGoalType(
AppCampaignBiddingStrategyGoalType.OPTIMIZE_INSTALLS_TARGET_INSTALL_COST)
.setAppStore(AppCampaignAppStore.GOOGLE_APP_STORE)
.setAppId(TEST_PLAY_STORE_APP_ID)
.build())
.setStatus(CampaignStatus.PAUSED)
// .setBiddingStrategyType(BiddingStrategyType.TARGET_CPA)
// .setBiddingStrategy(bidStrategyResName)
.setCampaignBudget(budgetResName)
.build();
But the same problem occurs -- if bidding strategy is commented out, it
says "The required field was not present"; if present, the error is "This
operation is not permitted on this campaign type"
