Hi, I use free version of corona sdk and I want to know how to implement Google Play services in my game and use maxscore of my game to Google Play leaderboard. I know that I can’t test Google play services on Corona simulator so I can test it only if I build it if I’m not wrong!?
I’m using this tutorial https://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/06/25/tutorial-introducing-google-play-game-services/ but I can’t make it to work some help would be appreciated !
Thanks in advance!
Testing Google Play Games Services isn’t easy. You have to make sure you have everything setup correctly. There are several setup steps that have to be done correctly or it’s not going to work. Next, you have to actually upload an Alpha or Beta test version of your app to Google Play using a release keystore. You also probably should not be testing with your developer account. I’m not sure what impact this has for GPGS but I know for IAP you cannot purchase with your developer account.
Finally you need to look at your device’s console log using the “adb logcat” (with no extra parameters) or the “monitor” tool that comes with Android’s debugging setup. If you need help with this, please read:

If you’re having problems, there will very likely be messaging in the console log that can help guide you to a solution.
