Hey guys,
The getRecentMoves function gives me some random string in the content parameter, some examples are:
NztFTl9VUzsxMQ==
N0VOVVMxMQ==
NztFTl9VUzsxMQ==
These values seem random to me. Am I using the wrong format for the content parameter in the submitMove function?
This is what the call looks like: submitMove( “somestring”, nil, userID, matchID, nil )
Hope you guys can help me with this one 
Those look like Base 64 encoded strings. Are you calling the REST api calls directly or using the corona-cloud-core.lua file? The Lua file’s wrapper calls will Base 64 encode your data (to keep it web-safe) and it should decode it for you when the RecentMoves Multiplayer event is dispatched.
The mime module (mime = require(“mime”) ) has a Base 64 decode function. The corona-cloud-core.lua file has a b64 decode function in it as well but it’s not exposed so you would need to probably copy it to your local code.
Awesome Rob I got it to work thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I have got another question for you.
I am unable to call the functions acceptChallenge and declineChallenge this is what I get as a response:
“status”:404,“url”:"[https://api.coronalabs.com/matches/********match_id**********/reject_request.json](https://api.coronalabs.com/matches/ match_id** /reject_request.json)",“isError”:false
With the response being:
The page you were looking for doesn’t exist (404) … etc.
Have you guys changed the address of these two API calls?
Thanks in advance
Are you using our Lua API calls or are you making the REST calls directly?
I am making the calls from LUA so coronaCloud.acceptChallenge(matchID)
I just duplicated the problem. I’ll email the team and find out what’s going on.
Superb, looking forward to the outcome…
Hi qwertier,
There seems to be a typo in the docs, the HTTP Method for rejecting a challenge should be DELETE, rather than POST.
This also needs to be updated in the corona-cloud-core.lua file.
Thanks

Hey Mohamed,
The 404 error has been resolved by changing the HTTP method to DELETE.
However now I get the following response for both of the functions accept/decline:
status: 500;
We’re sorry, but something went wrong (500)
Not sure where this is coming from.
I now use the following configuration:
- acceptChallenge(matchID, “lets play”) HTTP method POST
- declineChallenge(matchID) HTTP method DELETE
I am quite sure that my matchID is legal, while I first call getMatches() to get the matchID for the match that has a user with the state pending. Then I log in with this user and call either accept/declineChallenge(matchID) which both give me the 500 error.
Hope I have provided you with enough information to tackle the error
I’m not getting the 500 error, but I’m getting a different issue. I’ve email the folks on the cloud team to look into this further. In my case though, the decline seemed to take effect when I got my next match list.
Ok, the corona-cloud-core.lua file on GitHub https://github.com/coronalabs/corona-cloud-core has been updated.
Please try again and let me know.
Thanks

Ok testing it now.
BTW here a quick bug report for registering Android devices for push notifications:
In the register device function it currently says
if curDevice == "iPhone" or "iPad" then
However, it should really be
if curDevice == "iPhone" or curDevice == "iPad" then
Otherwise the device will always be seen as an Apple one
I get back to you as soon as possible!
It is a pity really but I still get the 500 error.
I have started a new game with a new invite so everything fresh, but it’s still not working.
Is it a problem if the game has already been started? When I create the game I always instantly set its state to started, don’t know if that might be a problem.
No its fine to add players after the game has started.
Can you please PM me your details like; userIDs, matchIDs, and any outputs your are getting.
Thanks

Yeah sure, just a minute…
