getting an exception while creating a Facebook mobile ad

I'm trying to create a mobile ad using Facebook Ads API. I send a post request to: graph.facebook.com/act_XXX/adgroups with the parameters:

name: x
bid_type: CPC
bid_info: {"CLICKS":2}
conversion_specs: [{"action.type":["mobile_app_install"],"application":["xxx"]}]
campaign_id: xxx
tracking_specs: [{"action.type":["mobile_app_install"],"application":["xxx"]}]
targeting: {"geo_locations":{"countries":['US']}}
creative: {"creative_id":"xxx"}

but all of a sudden I get this error:

{ "error": { "message": "An unknown error occurred", "type": "FacebookApiException", "code": 1, "error_subcode": 1487810 } }

Anyone?

If your URL goes to the appstore or the google market, then you need change objective.

Error Subcode 1487810 corresponds to this message:

Summary: The creative provided requires a different objective

Message: This creative requires an objective that corresponds with the creative provided. E.g, MOBILE_APP_INSTALLS.

What this means is that the "Campaign" (the one you create with the campaign_groups endpoint) needs to have an objective set to MOBILE_APP_INSTALLS.

Mobile app install ads need a user_device and user_os field in the targeting specs. Also, if you set the action.type as "mobile_app_install", you must use CPA or oCPM bidding.
