Fran Ads v6

We are launching Fran Ads v6.

Changes include:

• Migrated to Google Ads API v18
• Improved Keyword Theme Recommendations, Ad Creatives Recommendations, and Budget Recommendations functions by handling better when geo target location resource name is empty. This way, the app still gives recommendations for keywords, ad creatives (headlines, descriptions), and budget.
• Improved function to edit smart campaign. If campaign doesn’t have ad schedule, now the API returns the campaign_criterion.ad_schedule.day_of_week as zero (0). Therefore, I added a handler statement for these cases.
• Updated README files with more helpful information
