Gamecenter Dashboard Ui Missing.

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’m using gameNetwork.show(…) to display the gamecenter dashboard, but it links to the deep leaderboard list.

I would like to see the dashboard with the app icon, star rating, and Like button as the default.

Is this possible in Corona? I know I’ve seen it in other apps.

All the parameter options I tried did not work.

#2

I think I know what needs to be fixed in the API.

According to the iOS GC documentation, there are 4 possible values for the GameCenter Controller View State.

(Default, Leaderboards, Achievements, Challenges)

 

typedef enum /*: NSInteger */ {
    GKGameCenterViewControllerState Default = -1,
    GKGameCenterViewControllerState Leaderboards ,
    GKGameCenterViewControllerState Achievements ,
  GKGameCenterViewControllerState Challenges ,
} GKGameCenterViewControllerState;

Corona API does not support the Default state.  “leaderboards”, “achievements”, “friendRequest” are the only ones supported.

It needs " default".

#3

Please go to http://feedback.coronalabs.com and put in a request for this and get people to vote it up.  It seems like it might be easy to add, I’m asking the engineers to see what is involved.

Thanks. Yeah, I suspect it’s trivial to add. Just another enumeration in the list.

#5

Please vote this simple request up! :slight_smile:

This does seem to be an oversite and we have a bug report so we are looking into it.

Is there a way to show the root level of leaderboards yet?

Any updates on this??

Has there been any progress on this issue? I’d like to use the default behavior in my new game.

Hi @aabuyagh,

Can you please go submit feedback votes for this topic? Generally, the more votes an item gets, the more emphasis it gets for addition into the SDK.

I already gave it 3 votes, so hopefully that helps. The topic has been open since 2013, so maybe not enough people are interested in the feature to get it added in.
