I’m getting close to submitting my first app and it has openfeint leaderboard and achievements.
Is the openfeint SDK used by Corona up to date since that addresses the UDID issue? If not, what version of the Openfeint SDK is Corona using and what’s the ETA on having the latest version deployed.
Has anyone had their app turned down by Apple due to the version of the Openfeint SDK?

Yes, the new OpenFeint is intended to transition off UDID. (The transition is a two step process because you must migrate old UDIDs to something else, and only after that can you remove UDID.)
For iOS, most of the feedback we hear is native Game Center is better than OpenFeint.
Nobody has been rejected by Apple for OpenFeint/UDID issues, Corona or any other. Apple is not rejecting apps yet for UDID reasons. The media scare a month or two ago incorrectly reported the rejection reasons.

Thanks for the quick reply although it didn’t answer the question as to the latest Openfeint SDK being incorporated in Corona. I realize that there is a strong bias now towards game center, however Corona’s strength is its cross platform and game center is not. (Openfeint is though)
Going forward I would like to know if Corona will continue to support Openfeint, especially now that GREE has purchased openfeint. [import]uid: 9035 topic_id: 26762 reply_id: 108568[/import]
Yes, OpenFeint was updated in Corona:

We haven’t made any decisions to drop OpenFeint. However, it has been an ongoing maintenance pain for us. But for Android, there is no reasonable alternative so we don’t expect OpenFeint going away for Android.

Great, that will keep me going for the foreseeable future. [import]uid: 9035 topic_id: 26762 reply_id: 108573[/import]
