Create/Update Profiles Through Metadata API

Hello All,

I was trying to update an exsting profile with few permissions to the custom object but I was getting some errors while doing these...
I also tried creating a new profile throgh APIs but it doesn't worked.

Below is the snippet of my code.. Please let mw know if I'm missing something in this code...
  
ProfileObjectPermissions pObj = new ProfileObjectPermissions();
		
		pObj.setAllowCreate(true);
		pObj.setAllowEdit(true);
		pObj.setAllowDelete(true);
		pObj.setObject("Accounts");
		pObj.setModifyAllRecords(true);
		
Profile p = new Profile();
		
		p.setObjectPermissions(new ProfileObjectPermissions[] {pObj});
		p.setCustom(true);
		p.setUserLicense("Salesforce Platform");
		p.setFullName("TestClient1");

//For Update I used....
SaveResult[] results = metadataConnection.updateMetadata(new Metadata[]{p});

//For Create I used...
SaveResult[] results = metadataConnection.CreateMetadata(new Metadata[]{p});

However, If i try to creat a custom field with same logic, it gets created...
But creating or updating a profile fails everytime...

Please advise with a solution

Thanks in advance!

include the CustomObject  'Account'  in your package.

I would also suggest you perform a retrieve first of both the account and profile (if avail) make the changes and then push back both the account and profile.

Thanks Tom for the reply!

I tried retrieving the profile and object information and found that, the object name I used was wrong...
Correcting the name of object name helped me.. 

Thanks
