How do i test gamecenter multiplayer?

[bjsorrentino]

If my test identifier works but yours doesn’t, that seems to point to something in your iTunes Connect setup. Did you set up your app on that side for everything related to multiplayer?

Should my Game Center be turned on in my 1 version even though I have not published it yet.
Thanks

Edit: here are images I have enabled in Game Center

Hi,

 

  I’m new to Game Centre Turn Based Multiplayer Game,I do Some basic Code from the Sample.Once i Tested it in device it works well ,but i faced below Problems.

 

1. Player1 Finished Turns , But not Received At Player 2 ( No notification , Some times Shared Data Missing )

 

2.Once Player1 Created Match , Want to store The Initial Data(Grid),So Player1 can Get Same Data(Grid),when Logging in Another Device.Even if Player1 Not end His Turn.

 

Ex: player1 -> Create Match -> Grid Created -> Go Back to Menu -> Re enter into Same Match -> Need Same Grid(Initial) [Even User log in from Diff Device].

 

3. Communication Between 2 Devices Failed Some times(low Network),Which Makes game Misleading.

 

 

Please help me to Solve this.

 

Thanks.

It is your apple bundle I’d that is the problem if you are having the problem I am having.

[simeonaronk]

I’m Not having the Same problem , My App Running well in Device.But Sometimes Communication failed between devices and i need to store data in GC.

Thanks

[simeonaronk]

waiting for suggestions…

Handling the Current Player’s Turn

• saveCurrentTurnWithMatchData:completionHandler:

Update the match data without advancing the game to another player.

This method in IOS was used to Update Data in GC , is this Possible in Corona.

What if you set nextParticipant to your own gc id?

Also if you don’t mind me asking how did your app ready for gamecenter?

It been over 3 day so i am bumping. Sorry for nagging.

Anything?

Hi @scottrules44,

Game Center in general requires fairly comprehensive setup/code, and multiplayer even moreso. The community/staff would need to see much more of your current code base to gather clues on what the issue may be.

Take care,

Brent

Hi Scott,

Are you using an “AdHoc” or a true “distribution” provisioning profile? The fact that it says “Devices: 0 total” hints to me that it’s not AdHoc, meaning it’s for actual distribution to the App Store (which of course isn’t meant for testing). Can you configure an AdHoc profile and test using that?

same error with an ad hoc

Hi Scott,

If possible, can you trim your code down to simply Game Center for this issue? At a glance, I don’t see anything blatantly wrong with how you’re trying to load the proper game network for the proper platform, but it complicates the code considerably and there might be something awry with the listeners, initiation, etc. It would be easier to diagnose if you temporarily trimmed out (or commented out) the Google aspects.

Hi Scott,

Can you remove “playerGroup” and “playerAttributes” from your match setup? I want to check if it’s something involved in those parameters (they are difficult to understand even when reading Apple’s docs).
