Request to promote iOS App in Facebook via Marketing API

I have the facebook application with approved ads_read, manage_pages ads_management, business_management and Ads Management Standard Access permissions.
I can create Ad campaign, ad set and can upload asset to Facebook via Facebook Marketing API.

I create ad set with such parameters:

{
      name: 'adset_name',
      campaign_id: '<campaign_id>',
      lifetime_spend_cap: 11000,
      promoted_object: {
        application_id: '<fb_app_id>',
        object_store_url: 'https://itunes.apple.com/app/<my_app>',
        page_id: '<page_id>',
      },
      billing_event: 'IMPRESSIONS',
      optimization_goal: 'APP_INSTALLS',
      bid_amount: 20000,
      targeting: {
        age_min: 20,
        age_max: 25,
        genders: [1],
        locales: [6],
         user_os: ['iOS_ver_11.0_and_above'],
        geo_locations: {
          countries: ["US"],
        },
        excluded_geo_locations: {
          countries: ["GB"],
        },
        publisher_platforms: 'facebook',
        facebook_positions: ['feed'],
      },
      device_platforms: 'mobile',
      pacing_type: 'standard',
      status: 'PAUSED',
      end_time: '2019-07-30 23:59:59-07:00',
    };

I create ad creative with such fields:

{
    object_type: 'APPLICATION',
    status: 'ACTIVE',
    name: 'hello',
    title: 'foo',
    object_story_spec: {
      page_id: '<facebook page id associated with app>',
      photo_data: {
        image_hash: asset_hash,
        caption: 'Just image',
      },
    },
    application_id: '<app store app id>',
    object_store_url: 'https://itunes.apple.com/app/<my app same as application_id>',
  }

The problem is, when I try to create ad with parameters:

{
    name: 'Heyyy',
    campaign_id,
    adset_id,
    creative: {
      creative_id,
    },
    status: 'PAUSED',
 }

I got error

Object Store URL does not match promoted object: Please ensure that the object store URL associated with your ad creative matches the object store URL set on your promoted object.

If I look to my Facebook business manager -> Ads manager, I see created ad set which is linked to app, page and iOS application.
Everything looks like if I create ad set by my own, not script.
So, I'm pretty sure that ad set creates correctly.
But I can't figure out how to create ad creative to make it work.

I have this problem for 2 weeks from now, and here is my question about ad creative error.

P.S. Here is links to my questions on facebook community forum, if it could help to clear the situation link, link, link, link

8 days past, and I finally found out how to make it.
You can find info on this link
And now my AD Creative params looks like this:

{
    object_type: 'APPLICATION',
    status: 'ACTIVE',
    name: 'hello',
    title: 'foo',
    object_story_spec: {
      page_id: '<fb_page_id>',
      link_data: {
        call_to_action: {
          type: 'INSTALL_MOBILE_APP',
          value: {
            link: 'https://itunes.apple.com/app/<app>',
          },
        },
        image_hash: 'image hash',
        link: 'https://itunes.apple.com/app/<app>',
        message: 'Message',
      },
    },
  }
