adding youtube videos when creating an app ad in an app campaign

[Marc Schuetze]

I'm trying to create new ad groups containing headlines, descriptions and youtube videos.

I'm following the tutorial at https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/add-app-campaign

Is there a way to add youtube videos to an app ad?

I've tried the following

ad_group_ad = client.resource.ad_group_ad do |aga|

  aga.status = :ENABLED

  aga.ad_group = ad_group_resource_name

  aga.ad = client.resource.ad do |ad|

    ad.app_ad = client.resource.app_ad_info do |info|

      info.youtube_videos << client.resource.youtube_video_asset do |youtube_video_asset|

      youtube_video_asset.youtube_video_id = "video_id"

    end

  end

end

end

but I'm getting the error 

*** Google::Protobuf::TypeError Exception: Invalid type Google::Ads::GoogleAds::V12::Common::YoutubeVideoAsset to assign to submessage field ''.

Is there a way to add videos?

If so, what type does the Google::Ads::GoogleAds::V12::Common::AppAdInfo.youtube_videos protobuffer accept?

thanks for your help
