I am trying to get started with setting up GPGS for a project and I am hoping I will be able to login and develop the app through the corona console but I am getting this error:
plugin.gpgs: login() is not supported on this platform
I am not really certain how to go about trouble shooting this, any help would be appreciated.
Most plugins only work on devices. Here’s the reason.
A plugin like GPGS is built to run on Android. It’s a series of Java libraries that call Android native features, looks for devices with Google Play installed and so on. Your Windows or Mac computer doesn’t understand these Java/Android libraries since those devices are not running Android nor do you have Google Play available for Windows or Macs.
Every Ad plugin, in-app purchases, analytics plugin and many more only run when testing your app on a real device.
On Windows, the simulator is a Windows .exe On macOS, it’s a macOS executable. It’s simulating the Corona API’s but it doesn’t emulate a device.
