The problem is that the post and the custom fields associated with the post do not exist yet so update_field()
is not able to set the field key properly. You also can’t get the field object using the field name for the same reason.
I think that the documentation explains it all pretty well. http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_field/
All you really need to do is edit
$customFields = [...] // Associative array of field's names and values
to use field keys instead of field names.
