Hi,

I am using new google ads api to access my google ads account. However, when I run the code in .Net Console application I am getting the following error

"Status(StatusCode=Unavailable, Detail=\"channel is in state TRANSIENT_FAILURE\"

I searched on the internet but was unable to solve the issue.

Can anyone help me with this.

Posting my findings here to make it easier for others to find the answer in the future.

The solution to this issue (specific to the dotnet examples) was the last comment in the attached GitHub link:

For future reference, the issue was with grpc’s dns resolver. Setting the environment variable GRPC_DNS_RESOLVER=native fixes it.

I’ll make this change in the next library version.

Or, translated into C# code:

        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("GRPC_DNS_RESOLVER", "native"); // Necessary in nuget version 1.1.0 to work around bug in code

Add this line of code somewhere in the startup of your app to fix the problem.  (It would manifest as either DEADLINE_EXCEEDED or TRANSIENT_FAILURE, depending on the client timeout setting).
