I'm trying to create an AdGroupAd using an existing groupAd, and i'm getting a "segmentation fault" error message
I've been at this for more than a day now, but the lack of details on the error just makes this insane to understand whats wrong

my code. Assume createAdGroupAd() is called with a valid resource name for an adGroup in the $adGroup parameter
and the type is CreativeType_Asset::TYPE_YOUTUBE in this case (although i tried with both types and both give out the error)

public function createAdGroupAd($adGroup, $data) {

        $service = $this->client->getAdGroupAdServiceClient();

        $ad = $this->createAd($data, $data['asset']->type);

        $adGroupAd = new AdGroupAd([

            'ad' => $ad,

            'status' => AdGroupAdStatus::PAUSED,

            'ad_group' =>  $adGroup

        ]);

        $adGroupAdOperation = new AdGroupAdOperation();

        $adGroupAdOperation->setCreate($adGroupAd);

        //this is the call causing the error

        $response = $service->mutateAdGroupAds(

            $this->customerId,

            [$adGroupAdOperation]

        );

        return $response->getResults()->count() > 0 ? $response->getResults()[0]->getResourceName() : null;

    }

    public function createAd($data, $adType = null) {

        $service = $this->client->getAdServiceClient();

        $appAdInfo = new AppAdInfo([

            'headlines' => array_map(function ($headline) {

                new AdTextAsset(['text' => $headline]);

            }, [$data['creative']->title1, $data['creative']->title2]),

            'descriptions' => array_map(function ($description) {

                new AdTextAsset(['text' => $description]);

            }, [$data['creative']->description1, $data['creative']->description2])

        ]);

        switch ($adType) {

            case CreativeType_Asset::TYPE_IMAGE:

                $appAdInfo->setImages([new AdImageAsset(['asset' => $data['assetResourceName']])]);

                break;

            case CreativeType_Asset::TYPE_YOUTUBE:

                $appAdInfo->setYoutubeVideos([new AdVideoAsset(['asset' => $data['assetResourceName']])]);

                break;

            default:

                break;

        }

        return new Ad([

            'app_ad' => $appAdInfo,

            'type' => AdType::APP_AD]);

    }

Ok the issue was found.
I forgot to write "return" statements on the array_map functions in the AppAdInfo building part.
The segmentation fault is a real headache it gives no information about what is wrong

Hi Ben,

Glad to know you were able to find the cause of your issue. Please let me know if you run into any other trouble.

[Ben Laor]

Actually there is, i'm receiving an "This operation is not permitted on this campaign type" error when sending the request.
Is it because this is an appAd? how else am i supposed to create an appAd if not like this? my campaign is also an app campaign

I found the issue, i was sending status on the adGroupAd operation, which is invalid (not specified anywhere i have seen and the error was very unclear about it)
