There are no other apps running, I cleared the app cache and data, and yes my google account is setup with google+ and is setup as a developer for the app.
Could it possible be that I got the wrong number for the App ID? Or would that just show an error later on?
The id is displayed on the right site in the google play service site. At the position 5 (test) clear your account name, save the settings and enter the e mail again.
I’m pretty sure I have the right ID now and I cleared the emails but it still crashes 
YEEESS!!! I finally figured it out!! I stupidly added the googlePlayGamesAppId (build.settings) into the usesPermissions table instead of just the android table. Here is my new android table in my build.settings:
[lua]
android =
{
googlePlayGamesAppId = “182739516720”,
usesPermissions =
{
“android.permission.INTERNET”,
}
},
[/lua]
Thank you everyone for your help!
Hey, @AppdojoStudios, I wonder why you are having trouble with leaderboards. I’ve implemented it, and I haven’t seen mine crash on Nexus 7. I’m assuming you are talking about Google Play game services – if not, you might want to elaborate a little more about which leadearboard and what tutorial, and other relevant details?
Naomi
Hi Naomi,
I am trying to follow this tutorial on using Google Play Game Services: http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2013/06/25/tutorial-introducing-google-play-game-services/
I did the “Build.settings” part and am now on the “Login and Event Handlers” part. Whenever I put that code in my game (minus the saveSettings function) it just crashes. I’ve try’d commenting portions out to narrow down the problem but it seems like its the whole thing that’s messing it up.
You said that you’ve implemented and tested leader boards with a Nexus 7. Do you think you could post the code you used?
Thanks for the help!

@AppdojoStudios, are there any errors in your console log? If you don’t know how to get them please see this blog post:
http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2013/07/09/tutorial-basic-debugging/
If you’re crashing, there should be messages in the log file that tells you why. We can only guess at what your problem might be without this and without seeing your code.
Here is the code that I add that causes it to crash:
[lua]
local gameNetwork = require( “gameNetwork” )
local playerName
local function loadLocalPlayerCallback( event )
playerName = event.data.alias
saveSettings() --save player data locally using your own “saveSettings()” function
end
local function gameNetworkLoginCallback( event )
gameNetwork.request( “loadLocalPlayer”, { listener=loadLocalPlayerCallback } )
return true
end
local function gpgsInitCallback( event )
gameNetwork.request( “login”, { userInitiated=true, listener=gameNetworkLoginCallback } )
end
local function gameNetworkSetup()
if ( system.getInfo(“platformName”) == “Android” ) then
gameNetwork.init( “google”, gpgsInitCallback )
else
gameNetwork.init( “gamecenter”, gameNetworkLoginCallback )
end
end
------HANDLE SYSTEM EVENTS------
local function systemEvents( event )
print("systemEvent " … event.type)
if ( event.type == “applicationSuspend” ) then
print( “suspending…” )
elseif ( event.type == “applicationResume” ) then
print( “resuming…” )
elseif ( event.type == “applicationExit” ) then
print( “exiting…” )
elseif ( event.type == “applicationStart” ) then
gameNetworkSetup() --login to the network here
end
return true
end
Runtime:addEventListener( “system”, systemEvents )
[/lua]
And here is the log i get when using ADB ("./adb logcat Corona:v *:s"):
I/Corona (15624): systemEvent applicationStart

Sorry about the length, I’m not sure how to tell what parts are relevant :( and I bolded the text in-between logs just for visibility. It looks like the Google Play Services are out of date? How would I update them?
EDIT: I updated Corona and that didn’t do anything.
I suspect the “out of date” is a red herring. This is new, and we are using the latest. I suspect that you’ve got some setup issue. Can you post your build.settings and config.lua? Are you sure your SHA1 key is correct?
Where do I enter the SHA1 key into Corona?
Here’s my Config:
[lua]
application = {
content = {
width = 640,
height = 960, --1136
scale = “zoomstretch”,
fps = 60,
launchpad = false,
},
}
[/lua]
Here’s my Build.settings, sorry about how messy it is:
[lua]
– Supported values for orientation:
– portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight
settings = {
orientation = {
default = “portrait”,
supported = { “portrait”, }
},
iphone = {
plist = {
UIStatusBarHidden = true,
UIPrerenderedIcon = true, – set to false for “shine” overlay
–UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true, – uncomment to quit app on suspend
UIAppFonts =
{
“Hiruko.otf”
}
–[[
– iOS app URL schemes:
CFBundleURLTypes =
{
{
CFBundleURLSchemes =
{
“fbXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”, – example scheme for facebook
“coronasdkapp”, – example second scheme
}
}
}
–]]
},
components = {
}
},
android =
{
usesPermissions =
{
“android.permission.INTERNET”,
googlePlayGamesAppId = “182739516720”
}
},
plugins =
{
–key is the name passed to the Lua “require()”
[“CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.google”] =
{
–required!
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,
},
},
}
[/lua]
I think I might have the wrong App ID because I did have some trouble finding it, I might have the wrong number. How do I find it in the google play dev console?
Hi AppdojoStudios
Please read the documentation there are some additional information’s about the Google Play Game Service and the error
handling. I had with the first release also some problems but after Integration of the error handling in my code it works fine. Important the user must have his google+ account extend with the GPGS, I ask the users always on the first
lunch of the app if he like to use the GPGS and if they have a goole+ account which can be used for the service.

Thanks for showing me the error handling! I implemented that and simplified my code and this is what it is now:
[lua]
local function gameNetworkLoginCallback( event )
--nothing here just for testing
end
local function gpgsInitCallback( event )
print(event.isError, “#######EVENTERROR######”)
if event.isError == nil then
print(“Initialize GPGS”)
loggedIntoGC = true
gameNetwork.request( “login”, { userInitiated=true, listener=gameNetworkLoginCallback } )
elseif event.isError == true then
print(event.errorMessage, “############ERROR###########”)
end
end
gameNetwork.init( “google”, gpgsInitCallback )
[/lua]
So in the console (on device) it prints event.isError as “nil” so it seems like thats working and then it crashes on the login.
go to the android Settings Screen, Application, select your application, stop the application and clean Cache and app data. check if there other apps running they like to use the same function.
Michael
did you Register the user for testing in the Google Play Service for your app?
There are no other apps running, I cleared the app cache and data, and yes my google account is setup with google+ and is setup as a developer for the app.
Could it possible be that I got the wrong number for the App ID? Or would that just show an error later on?
The id is displayed on the right site in the google play service site. At the position 5 (test) clear your account name, save the settings and enter the e mail again.
I’m pretty sure I have the right ID now and I cleared the emails but it still crashes
YEEESS!!! I finally figured it out!! I stupidly added the googlePlayGamesAppId (build.settings) into the usesPermissions table instead of just the android table. Here is my new android table in my build.settings:
