Cloud Questions

General (non-technical) Testing Forum for Moderators / Admins
#1

I’m testing a few things out with the new Corona Cloud to get a feel for it and I started using the pre-existing Dashboard that comes with the example.  Registration, Login, and Submitting Scores work.  You would think that with using the same code as the example that the functionality should be the same.

I have the dashboard come up and I enter my email and pasword, hit Login and nothing happens.  The dashboard doesn’t show.  I can however close the Login form after hitting the Login button and play the game and a score submits.  So it seems like it does a login but it doesn’t close the login form itself nor does it show the dashboard.

You would think using a simple line of code like this gameNetwork.show( “dashboard” )  wouldn’t cause different results.

nevermind I’ve fixed it.  I was using gameNetwork and coronaCloud at the same time which caused issues. I figured I would use coronaCloud to update scores since this code             gameNetwork.show(“post_highscore”, { “1000” } ) didn’t make much sense to me since show is usually just used for showing leaderboards and not posting scores.

I’m experiencing the issue when running on my Kindle  and my Android device.  Login button doesn’t remove the login screen and go to the dashboard.  Leaderboards are empty.

is a “show” call because all it does is show the banner that the score has been achieved.  You still need to call the appropriate calls in the corona-cloud.core.lua file to actually set the score.  Your app needs to be logged in as the user prior to posting the score.    gameNetwork should work together with the coronaCloud bits.

I’ll mention the KF/Android issues.  I know there were some device related issues around Android that we are working on.

Yeah I figured that out playing around.  I have gameNetwork.show( “leaderboard” ) and the first attempt it doesn’t show the game icon, but the second attempt it does.  Scores don’t show up but they are in the cloud.   This is an issue in the simulator, but on the device the app name doesn’t show up at all. I’m logged in. :-/

I cannot get coronaCloud and gameNetwork to play nice at all together.  Far too many issues that need fixed.  coronaCloud on its own seems to work ok apart from decimal scores showing as integers which is no good for leaderboards using time.

I’m glad I’m not alone on this!

#8

Do I need the latest daily build of Corona SDK to use the Corona Cloud Dashboard? If so, when can we expect a stable build / public release with Cloud support?

Working with daily builds has given me a lot of headaches in the past…

#9

Yes, you currently need the latest daily build.  I don’t have an ETA on a new public build.
