iOS 8 and Game Center init issues?

Can someone file a bug report on this please.  I’m not sure we have a GameCenter related bug.   Make sure to include your build.settings and config.lua.  Also put iOS 8 in the title too.

When you get the email from the bug tracker, please post the number back here.

Thanks

Thank you. :)

Thank you for filing the bug report!   Hadn’t had a chance to do this yet.  Good to know others are experiencing this too - hope the Corona Engineers are able to fix it quickly :wink:   thanks

Rob - humble request…  would it be possible to have a new daily build put out when this is resolved? And do you know when Engineers might be able to work on this?  I know there are other iOS 8 issues you guys are working hard on.  I hope this one is not too hard to fix.   thx

+1 on a fix…  i was planning on releasing my app this Thursday and will now hold off until a fix is available.

Try turning on the sandbox.

Settings > Game Center > Sandbox

We had a similar issue until we turned that on then it worked fine.

dchan,

Thanks for the tip.  I do not see the switch to turn sandbox mode on, but doing a bit of Google’ing, I see that I need to connect my iPad to XCode6 to enable that option.

Does Corona currently work with XCode6?

I submitted an app to the store back when I had iOS 7 installed, and I know that the app was working with GC.  The app reviewers tested the app and approved it, but I have not yet released it (I was planning on doing that on Thursday).

Since my recently approved update to another app is running GC on iOS8 without a problem, I am wondering if I should go ahead and release my app on Thursday anyway… in other words, is the problem I am seeing just a Sandbox issue?

thanks,

@borderleap, as we fix bugs they will roll out into daily builds.

Doh! Didn’t think of checking if that had changed. Seems to be back to normal for me. 

#31

Same here - working just fine now.  Thanks Rob & dchan. Assuming that this is NOT a bug then?  Just testing via Sandbox mode now requires a manual switch change in settings…

This should be mentioned in the docs for the gameNetwork.* API.

Another thing to remember :huh:

Apple do enjoy making us jump through hoops.
