From 1st April 2020 Google Ads API Will Prevent the Creation of New App Engagement Campaigns in Prohibited Categories
https://ads-developers.googleblog.comThe Google Ads API currently allows you to create App engagement campaigns for any category of app. Starting on April 1, 2020, the Google Ads API will prevent the creation of new App engagement campaigns for apps in prohibited categories like Gambling, Alcohol, Clinical Trial Recruitment in personalized advertising etc
Key Points:
- Once this change goes into effect, API calls to create campaigns of the above type will fail if the campaign’s
app_campaign_setting.app_id
references an app in a prohibited category. - Versions v3 and later of the API will throw a
SENSITIVE_CATEGORY_APP
error. - For more details on implementing support for App campaigns, see their App Campaigns developer guide for more information.
