appId value triggers RemoteException during creation of universal app campaign (Java, AdWords API 201609). How to fix this problem.

[adword...@fireswordsoftware.com]

Hi.
I have a problem when I create universal app campaign. appId is not accepted, and RemoteException is trigerred by appId's value.
In the past almost any appId value in format "com.abc.xyz" worked. Value that triggers the exception worked in the past (few weeks ago) but it does not work anymore. Value ("com.interplanetarycruise.booking") provided in example on https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/mobile-app-campaigns never worked. Please explain what's wrong and what is source of the problem. How should I fix it? What is a VALID INPUT?

I will appreciate your help.

Stack trace and RemoteException (probably most important info is on top of stack trace):

Hi,

The app in the guide (com.interplanetarycruise.booking) does not work because it is not a valid app. If you try the appId that is listed here, you should be able to able to create a UAC. You can see if it's valid by putting the app Id in the link below:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=YOUR_APP_ID

Cheers,

Anthony
