Wordpress REST API reading post meta but not updating

I am trying to create a PowerApp in which I want to integrate the post meta fields. I inserted this code in the functions.php file. But I can read and write the data for default WordPress fields, but I am not able to update the post custom fields.



add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'create_api_posts_meta_field' );

function create_api_posts_meta_field() {

// register_rest_field ( 'name-of-post-type', 'name-of-field-to-return', array-of-callbacks-and-schema() )
register_rest_field( 'post', 'post-meta-fields', array(
'get_callback' => 'get_post_meta_for_api',
'update_callback' => 'get_post_meta_update_for_api',
'schema' => null,
)
);
}

function get_post_meta_for_api( $object ) {
//get the id of the post object array
$post_id = $object['id'];

//return the post meta
return get_post_meta( $post_id );
}

function get_post_meta_update_for_api( $value, $object, $field_name ) {
return update_post_meta( $object[ 'id' ], $field_name, $value );
}
