Deprecation Announcement: App download cards

[AdsAPI]

In 90 days from today, on 2017-03-29, it will no longer be possible to create app download cards. Instead, we encourage the use of image and video app download cards.

This only affects the POST accounts/:account_id/cards/app_download endpoint. Note that it will still be possible to view, edit, and use existing app download cards—as well as all image and video app download cards—in mobile app promotion campaigns.
