I don’t quite understand linking an iOS app with Google Play Services.

First, I made my app with Apple Game Center  leaderboard & Achievements. Then it was reviewed and approved for iOS store.

Now, I started preparing the same app to release on Google Play, I added a Game Center  Services to my App and linked it with android. I created all the same achievements and leaderboards that I made in Apple Game Center

So what does it mean to link iOS app with Google Play Services??

Did I do it wrong?? Should I have made the leaderboards and achievement in only one game center ? Either “Google” or “apple”? Or do you have to make them in both?

Or do Google Game centers leaderboards get shown with apple game center leaderboards  or …android user can log into Apple Game center?  I’m confused

Thanks for any help in advance

So apple users have their game center leader boards and google play has their own… A google user cant log into an apple game center and vice versa … so apple and google are two separate things pretty much…

@SonicX278 is correct. Apple’s GameCenter and Google’s Game Services are in no way connected. You can give them both the same names, but the unique ID’s  between the two are different.  Most of the calls in Corona SDK work for both services. You just have to use if statements to pass in the unique ID for the service connected too…

Thanks for trying to explain it to me. I guess It means if you want to allow Android players to login into Apple Game Center you link an iOS app with Google Play Services.

You cannot login to Apple’s Game Center with an Android device.  In theory, Google Play Game Services can work on iOS, but we do not support it. So you cannot connect iOS devices with Google Play Game Services with Corona SDK.
