Hi guys,

Google Play Games Services can be used in Samsung store?

I did upload my game to Google Play  and Samsung store. Google Play is working. The Samsung has rejected my game.

Samsung sent me one video where the game does not open. A message appears saying that the game has stopped working.

What Leaderboards services  you are using the Samsung and Amazon stores?

Thanks,

Gustavo Cisneiros

Hello Gustavo,

Google Play game services will probably work only on an Android device that has the Google Play app installed, because it depends on a Google-made background service. There is no guarantee that the device on which the Samsung app store installed the app will have the Google Play app installed. So, I think your only choice then is to use the web API instead or use a different service.

Sincerely,

Brent Sorrentino

Hi Brent,

Where can I find the documentation for that web API? How do I use it?

Hi Go Guguti Games,

I think this will get you started:

Just as a side note, I have uploaded an app to the Samsung store that uses GPGS and they accepted it.  There is either a check box or set of radio buttons where you have to choose if it uses Google API’s or not.  I checked yes.

Now I don’t know if it works or not and as stated above, you need the Google Play app installed.

Hi Brent,

Here on the Corona website where I can find an example using the web api from Google Service?

Thank you Rob,

you have the list of devices that you deleted the Samsung store list? Or you published for all devices?

What I do is pick on the higher resolution devices and then turn off anything weird, like the WiFi Camera, anything that sounds like it’s a first version of something, i.e. turn off Galaxy Tab, but leave Galaxy Tab 2.  I’m really not familiar with the bazillion models that Samsung has.

But the more devices they have to test on (and they test on all the ones you select) the longer it takes to get approved and the more opportunity for failure.  Then when I get rejected, and go through the submission process again, I turn off any thing that it failed on that I can’t easily fix (in other words if it ain’t my bug but something weird with their setup, i turn off the device).

Thanks for the reply, Rob! You gave me a clue!!

I will remove from the list of all the Samsung devices I do not know!

Rob, let me know the link of your app! I’ll download it! It’s an awesome game? 

Cheers!

I’m not sure how to get those links…  :slight_smile:

Hi Rob, your game is available in which store? Google Play, Itunes, Amazon, Samsung?

#12

I have multiple Apps in iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Nook, Opera and Samsung.  (Opera isn’t a store Corona supports, but they take regular old Android apps).
