Steps to setting up Game Center Achievements.

CulturePlay

Hi Folks, wasn't sure where to post this one...since it's a GS PRO question...thought there might be a section on the forum for Pro users. Anyhow here is my issue...

In terms of order of process for setting up Game Center Acheivements in iTunes Connect, do I have to upload my game to iTunes Connect before I can setup Game Center Achievements for it...or can I setup create Acheivement ID's prior to uploading the binary? In watching the support videos this is not clear to me. When I sign-in to my iTunes Connect account I don't see anything about setting up Game Center unless I click on one of my APPS to manage.

thanks!

you need to go to itunes connect and set up your app. click on the button "add new app" on the right top corner and fill the info (you can put it random and the change it). now click on game center and enable it.

You create the app in iTunes connect, but you must enable achievements before uploading the build.

Hi there is it possible to test Game Center with AdHoc without having special App in iTunes Connect. I have published one simple test app with Game center and installed via Xcode organizer, so my test ran first time than When I close the app completely the game has not opened anymore.

Thanks for your amazing video tutorials, very accurately clearly, even for not native speakers of English, as I.
My problem is links with testing. I have created simple game which has Game Center futures. I wanted to test my game before publish it to Apple. Also I didn't created App in iTunes Connect I just done nothing about your first part GC tutorial. just created simple app and add GC behaviors in my project. So I successfully published with my AdHoc provision profile just to test. My game opened on my iPhone 4 and shows up GC login. So I tried to log and continue playing (testing) the game. Than I deleted the game from my iPhone and reinstalled again via Xcode Organizer. Second time I didn't logged to GC and continued playing (testing) the game. In Both first time my game ran. than I completely closed game by double pressing iPhone's home button and tried to open my game but my game has not opened anymore. That's why I deleted and reinstalled via Xcode organizer.

Why I don't create an App on iTunesconnect yet, because I still don't give an App Store name. I also noticed freezing some scenes. Now for me works deleting the game from my iPhone and reinstall again via Xcode organizer. please any help
