IOS 7 and GameCenter issue?

Hello guys,

I move the conversation from the GGameCentre forum to the general forum since I have a feeling that the issue I am having maybe related to IOS 7?

The issue I am having is that the GameCenter log in window is not shown at app start. I was using the great library GGameCentre but I also tried the “regular” way of integrating GC and still no luck on IOS 7 (latest) device. It seems to work ok on IOS 6 test device. The weird think is that it also seems to work fine on my older game (Space Command) both on IOS 7 and IOS 6+??? At that time I was using the GGameCenter library and of course I use the same code on my new game (Mad Gods) 

Basically the game says that the user is not logged in. I have a test user (I even try adding a new test user) and logged in or not (options/GC) the game says always the same thing (user not logged in) BUT if I go to my old game (using the same library the same way) I get the log in window (and this IOS 7 or 6) My new game only show the GC center when I am on IOS 6+ device?

I am at lost. Been working on this for a week now and  it does not make any sense to me :frowning:

Does anybody having similar issues with GC and IOS 7+?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I forgot to mention in the post title that the issue I am having with GameCenter and IOS 7. It seems to work ok with IOS6. I changed the title to reflect that.

Again thank you for any help or suggestions on how to deal with GameCenter login not showing at game start.

I can submit scores and all, also on iOS 7.0, so I don’t really know why its not working for you.

but timescope is not working, and I cant end a match with gamecenter (only by quit match).

Thanks @dingo. Yes it is very strange since it works under the xcode simulator. I can go in the gamecenter app and log out. At that time when i go back to Mad Gods then it shows me the login window (The xcode sim is under 7.0.3 so latest) BUT if I go on my two ios 7 devices (iphone 5 and ipad 2) it does not work! My other two ios 6+ devices (iphone 4 and ipad 2) it seems to work. I am really at lost.

Thanks again for you time.

Hi Mo, were you able to resolve the problem? I have a similar issue. I can login and post scores but occasionally I am kicked back to GC login screen. I have not seen this behavior with any native apps using GC. Once you’re logged in you’re always logged in. Wondering if this is related to the sandbox use and whether all will be fine once on real GC.

Sorry @ksan, I did not see this. No, I am still struggling with it. The strange thing is that on my ipad2 (6.0+)  the app (Mad Gods) react fine (the GC login window appears) but the same app on my iphone 5 (OS 7+)  the login does not show up. STILL, on that same iphone 5 my previous app (Space Command) the login shows up just fine! Also, all the other apps on that iphone works ok with GC.  So I have been at lost for weeks now. When I get a chance (busy preparing for a new app release) I may need to do testFlight since maybe there is something wrong with my phone. BUT, I think you maybe onto something about the sandbox. Could be that IOS 7 GC does not work the same with sandbox. 

I just cannot believe we are the only one with this issue :slight_smile:

Got the same probs, iOS6 works fine, iOS7 says, Player not logged in.

Can anybody confirm this is a sandbox issue on iOS7?

So it works when the app is live?
