Apple Game Center invalidated in sandbox testing

Hello Coronaville,

I am having problems with GC during testing on my iPad.

Corona Build 2016.2871.

GC worked whole morning, and now all of the sudden I am getting following when trying to show my leaderboard.

May  6 15:41:04 iPad pkd[141] <Warning>: assigning plug-in com.apple.GameCenterUI.GameCenterDashboardExtension(1.0) to plugin sandbox

May  6 15:41:04 iPad pkd[141] <Warning>: enabling pid=3412 for plug-in com.apple.GameCenterUI.GameCenterDashboardExtension(1.0) 989DED9A-44E2-4C71-8F1E-9D964142C185 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GameCenterUI.framework/PlugIns/GameCenterDashboardExtension.appex

May  6 15:41:04 iPad GameCenterDashboardExtension[3417] <Warning>: host connection <NSXPCConnection: 0x13e63a220> connection from pid 3412 invalidated

I did not changed any of my GC code lately.

Do you have any clue why all of the sudden GC became invalidated (I get that xCode message also)?

Tnx!

GG

Game Center is not the most reliable cloud service which can be a real pain when debugging.

You can check this Apple system status page but from my experience it lags behind real time for many hours:

http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

If your code was working before and you didn’t change anything, there is a good chance it’s Game Center’s fault.

I’ve had a few times when I’ve gotten a GC error to wait and try my code the next day without changing it and everything works fine again.

Another thing to check, is make sure you are using only sandbox tester accounts and not your real apple ID:
