displayName not available in gamecenter api?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Apple introduced a new gameCenter user property in iOS 6 called displayName in addition to the already available ‘alias’ property. On iOS6 devices this returns the full name of your friends, on iOS<6 devices displayName contains the same value as ‘alias’

Anyone know if it’s possible to access displayName in Corona? In our attempts we can’t get anything except ‘alias’,‘isFriend’ (which is =true), and ‘playerId’.

Not sure if this is a missing feature in Corona right now or if we’re doing something wrong. [import]uid: 135827 topic_id: 33191 reply_id: 333191[/import]

We have not added this property to our Game Center binding.

Corona staff: This is the only thread I could find regarding this topic. Is there any chance this will be added soon? This would be an excellent addition for GameCenter and GPGS, and it seems like it would be simple to add the binding. When looking at friends’ names to add to a multiplayer game, “Bob Smith” is a lot more user friendly than “BubbaBoBobBrain”.
