Game Center Score updates for Sandbox but not live

Hi there,

I’ve just released a game (it is showing in the app store) where game center worked perfectly fine in sandbox mode but when I turn sandbox off, scores are no longer being submitted to the live leaderboard.

I’ve also tried submitting it via 2 different apple IDs. It just shows ‘no score’ but works when I switch back to sandbox mode.

I really appreciate any help or input in this matter as it is driving me a bit nuts. Thanks!

You can’t use your test ID’s with live apps.  You have to use your real Apple ID for production work.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your reply. I used my normal Apple ID as well as created another one but the scores aren’t showing up. However, I’ve asked my friends to test it and it worked so I guess it may just be my device.

Thanks again for your help.

Have you logged out of GameCenter and then back in?

Yep, I have a few times but my own accounts (1 dev, 2 normal) still isn’t showing up. But it is showing up for everyone else who is playing the game. I am still not sure what’s the problem but I am just glad it’s working for everyone else.

Are you running the version you downloaded from iTunes or the Developer/AdHoc version you tested?

When you run the gameCenter app (Not your app, but GameCenter) does it say anything about sandbox?

Hi Rob,

I deleted and re-installed the game and it works now! I thought I had deleted my developer’s version but I guess that was not the case. Thank you again for your help!
