Game Center leaderboard update in sandbox environment

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I can update a score to Game Centre with 3 different sandbox accounts on 3 different iOS devices, using Corona’s gameNetwork.request() API. However, each device can see only the local score (shown as “Me”).

Scores by other devices can only be updated if all the players (i.e. all sandbox accounts) are friends of each other. In this case the scores of each other were updated immediately on screen of every devices.

I guess there may be a long delay for data update in Sandbox environment. To my surprise, after about 15~20 hours all the scores are removed from the Game Center. Within the Game Center UI all players are displayed as “No Scores”. 

Besides, all achievements records are clocked in the severs, even the leaderboard scores were gone.

I just wonder if this is normal for Game Centre Sandbox testing? Did I do something wrong in ituneConnect setting? I am worry about is it a problem of Corona’s API? Will everything becomes normal out of the Sandbox environment when the App is published?

Please help.

Hi, Have you tried the GemWars sample from CL? I played a little with it and I can see some leaderboards in the sandbox related to this app. Perhaps you can take a look at it and compare it with your code. Hope this helps.

Good luck!

@wilsonwansun did you ever find a solution to this?? I’m having the same issue and not sure what to do to solve it or if this is just normal??

@RJ5 I think it’s normal for the sandbox mode. The score data at server are cleared everyday. There will be no problem in live mode.

@wilsonwansun, by the looks of it sandbox is very very slow to update, by account have now done so 24 hours after I first posted a score to game center.

thanks for confirming it for me tho
