https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords) in its projects (i.e. any new AdWords API or Google Ads API developers) will need to undergo a Google OAuth verification to avoid an unverified app screen for its users. An app, in this context, is defined as a unique OAuth 2.0 Client ID in Google Cloud. This verification is independent and in addition to any reviews conducted as part of the developer token approval process. There is no cost for the Google verification, which typically completes in 3 to 5 business days. Information on how this process fits in the larger task of authorizing requests can be found in our guide. The verification status of a given app can be viewed at the OAuth consent screen of a Google Cloud Project.
Apps already using the Google Ads API or AdWords API scope prior to October 1, 2020 are not currently affected by this policy. However, this policy will be applied to all apps at a later date in 2021, and it is recommended that all apps undergo the Google OAuth verification process at their earliest convenience to avoid any business interruptions.
