Ingress .yml file isn't being applied to GKE but works fine in minikube - kubernetes

Question

I've been using minikube and this yml file:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-service
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /?(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: client-cluster-ip
port:
number: 3000
- path: /api/?(.*)
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: server-cluster-ip
port:
number: 5000
I've installed helm on my GKE cluster and installed ingress-nginx via helm following their directions here.
I kubectl apply my k8s and they all spin up besides the ingress-service from the file above.
Any help is much appreciated.
I've tried this:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-service
namespace: my-ingress-nginx
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /*
backend:
serviceName: client-cluster-ip
servicePort: 3000
- path: /api/*
backend:
serviceName: server-cluster-ip
servicePort: 5000
I'm really stuck here. Not seeing ingress-service show up like I would in minikube and I have no idea why.
server-cluster-ip:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: server-cluster-ip
spec:
type: ClusterIP
selector:
component: server
ports:
- port: 5000
targetPort: 5000
client-cluster-ip:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: client-cluster-ip
spec:
type: ClusterIP
selector:
component: web
ports:
- port: 3000
targetPort: 3000
The deployments and the clusterIp services above are being applied to the cluster but the ingress-service to direct traffic to them is not.
Services:
NAME TYPE
client-cluster-ip ClusterIP
kubernetes ClusterIP
my-ingress-nginx-controller LoadBalancer
my-ingress-nginx-controller-admission ClusterIP
postgres-cluster-ip ClusterIP
redis-cluster-ip ClusterIP
server-cluster-ip ClusterIP
the my-ingress-nginx-controller and my-ingress-nginx-controller-admission was created when I did helm install my-ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx
Why can't I create an ingress service?

I realized I needed to open port 8443 from the documentation.
So I went to the firewall list in google cloud. Found the rules that had tcp:80,443 in the Protocols / ports. Clicked it, clicked edit and added 8443 to it.
I had an error after but this fixed it:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-resource
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /?(.*)
backend:
serviceName: client-cluster-ip
servicePort: 3000
- path: /api/?(.*)
backend:
serviceName: server-cluster-ip
servicePort: 5000
Notice I changed * for ?(.*)
