Hi, 

I'm creating UAC campaign  by calling campaign_service.mutate with the following settings :
(API version v201809)
{
    'name': name,
    'status': 'PAUSED',
    'advertisingChannelType': 'MULTI_CHANNEL',
    'advertisingChannelSubType': 'UNIVERSAL_APP_CAMPAIGN',
    'biddingStrategyConfiguration': {
        'biddingScheme': {
            'xsi_type': 'TargetCpaBiddingScheme',
            'targetCpa': {
                'microAmount': '1000000'
            }
        },
        'biddingStrategyType': 'TARGET_CPA'
    },
    'budget': {
        'budgetId': IdBudget
    },
    'settings' = [
        {
            'xsi_type': 'UniversalAppCampaignSetting',
            'appId': APP_ID,
            'appVendor': 'VENDOR_GOOGLE_MARKET' ,
            'description1': description1,
            'description2': description2,
            'description3': description3,
            'description4': description4,
        }  
}


For some of my accounts this call works, but on google UI I see description3 & description4 changed to title2 & title2, and some Ad group are created automatically. 
 for other accounts I get this error : 

OperationAccessDenied.OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CAMPAIGN_TYPE @ operations[0].operand.settings

does the documentation is up to date for this campaign type ? and are there other way to create UAC campaign working for all accounts  ?

Hi Maxime,

Thank you for reaching out. Please see this blog post for recent updates to universal app campaigns. As it says, UniversalAppCampaignSetting is being replaced with UniversalAppCampaignInfo and the specific ad details will be included in the UniversalAppAd.
