API creation of mobile specific ad

[Milo Hou]

How do I use the API service calls to create an ad with mobile preference? I see that I can set campaign-wide criterion for mobile targeting but am not sure how to create a MobileAd as opposed to any normal text ad.

Hi Milo,

You can create a normal text ad using AdGroupAdService, and set the ad's devicePreference to 30001.

Hi Anash,

I was trying to do the same for Tablet (30002) but it's not working . Do you know why?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jose,

You cannot set devicePreference for Tablets, since AdWords doesn't support that.

Cheers,
Anash
