Hi,
I would like to confirm from my end if the workaround you tried is indeed
correct. For me to further check, could you provide the complete report
definition you used to generate the Automatic Placement Report as well as
your clientCustomerId so I could check those mobile app IDs with the team?

I found a workaround :
if you submit them with a prefix of 1- (for iOS) and 2- (for Android) then
the API call returns successfully.
AdWords returns this:
mobileapp::10002-ca-app-pub-3605354403339561
and if you call AdWords back with the same app ID like below to either
target or exclude this particular app, you'll get invalid app ID error.
mobileapp::10002-ca-app-pub-3605354403339561
But...if you append the platform id like below it works:
mobileapp::2-10002-ca-app-pub-3605354403339561
So in my code, I have a special case handling for mobileapp IDs that start
with 10002 or 10001, then replace it with 2-10002 and for 10001, replace it
with 1-10001.
Automatic Placement reports also return app ID's with 3-<appd ID> where 3-
identifies Windows mobile apps. However, I found that these cannot be
excluded or specifically targeted. So not sure why Google is giving us the
traffic, but yet we're unable to control anything about windows apps :
can't pause them, can't add them to exclude list, can't specifically target
them, can't adjust bids programmatically, etc...That seems like a very
strange business practice to me.
But the above workaround fixed my problem for iOS and Android apps.

FWIW, I also reached out to the group back in 2017 about this sort of
placements, and was told that
"[...] these IDs may continue to appear in placement reports for a time
while we continue to work on cleaning up the old data. However, the invalid
IDs do not actually affect your targeting, and they should always come back
with no stats because of this."
If I understand OP correctly, not only do they still appear in the
placement reports, they also accumulate stats now. I'd also like to
understand how we can exclude these (AdMob?) placements.
Best,
Dorian

Hi Luis,
I'm well aware of the format for both iOS and Android. However, these
mobile application IDs are returned by AdWords via a call to get Automatic
Placement Performance report.. So basically, adwords is telling me that
these are the mobile apps that are giving us a lot of clicks. It's not me
trying to construct my own app ID. These are coming back from the API call
to adwords. And when I try to add these to exclusion lists via
NegativeCampaignCriteria, the API returns an error complaining about the
app ID format. So, it's basically AdWords returning these.
I saw another post related to this, https://groups.google.
com/forum/#!searchin/adwords-api/INVALID_MOBILE_APP%7Csort:
date/adwords-api/WUvX2wjhz6U/Xn_x7wdMBgAJ
But, what's the solution?

Hi,
The format of the app ID that you used was invalid which triggers
the CriterionError.INVALID_MOBILE_APP error. A well formed app ID for
AdWords API would be "1-476943146" for iOS and "2-com.labpixies.colordrips"
for Android. You may check this guide
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/AdGroupCriterionService.MobileApplication#appid>
for
details. I would suggest to correct those app ID then retry your request
again.
Let me know if you still encounter any error after doing my suggestion.
Thanks and regards,
Luis

How do I add or delete these mobile apps as adgroupscriterion?
