"This application is not recognized by Game Center" any ideas?

marc_greiffmarc_greiff Member, PRO Posts: 250

"This application is not recognized by Game Center" error appears when logging into game center on my published app.

Heres what I can confirm:

-game center is enabled in itunes connect
-the provisioning profile that I signed with has never changed since 1.0 of my build
-users CAN login if they enable sandbox mode in Settings > Game Center > Sandbox, which is obviously not ideal

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    I'm guessing that you have built it with one of the RC versions (all of them have various issues right now). I think the only solution right now is to publish using the current stable build which is 0.11.1.11. Game Center is currently broken in your app and not only on IOS8. It does not work at all on IOS7 devices (the same error) and there is no workaround to that with your current build. Also, if you have saved your project in a RC version then it's not as easy as opening it in the current stable version. You would first need to replace "GSCVersion" and "PGFVersion" in all the xml-files so that it corresponds to the 0.11 version (can easily be done via a batch search and replace in an xml editor).

    It would appear this issue is resolved now. For me at least, game center seems to be working in my published apps as of yesterday. What ever the issue was, it was definitely on Apples end.

    For anyone else having this problem, I would suggest trying game center in your apps again. If it still doesn't work, perhaps wait a few days for apple to rollout their fix to all servers/countries.

    @JSproject‌ Thanks for the quick reply, I didn't realize GC was broken in the rc builds. Looks like I'll have to update and publish with a stable build.

  • JSprojectJSproject Member Posts: 730

    @marcgreiff No problem and good luck :)

  • AlchimiaStudiosAlchimiaStudios Member Posts: 1,069

    Wait so has this been confirmed that GC is broken for any game right now?

  • AlchimiaStudiosAlchimiaStudios Member Posts: 1,069

    Browsing around forums and wbesites indicates that this message means GC is working just fine, but isn't being recognized as published. Are you sure this isn't an apple issue? When did the project go live?

    0.12.3 is definitely safe. I've published with it and no problems with Game Center.

    That's good to know.

    @pHghost‌ thanks for the heads up! I'll be much happier downgrading to 12.3 than an 11.x build

    We do not have any active bugs with GameCenter. If there is an issue please file a bug in our Public Bug Database.

    FIXED.

    my bad, turns out I missed the enable game center toggle in ITC. Smacks hand on forehead!

    Will be enabled in next update, 1.2.1.

    My update just went into review status, so I can report back by the end of the day to see if it worked or not...

  • JSprojectJSproject Member Posts: 730

    Hope it will work for you after the new update!

  • marc_greiffmarc_greiff Member, PRO Posts: 250

    It would appear that the update was not successful in fixing the game center problem. I'll file a bug report...

  • marc_greiffmarc_greiff Member, PRO Posts: 250

    bug report submitted for builds made with creator v0.12.9.

    Stable 12.10 is out, no point in filing a bug report unless its happening in 20.10 as well.

  • ChechesoftChechesoft Member, PRO Posts: 171

    Same problem here with my latest game "Go home, you are drunk".
    And it was made with GS 11x...

    I went on the apple dev forums (which i recommend ) and it looks like there is an issue with apple's servers. We are not the only developers having this issue. We have not touched the GameCenter code in a long time and this is a new thing that started a few days a go. I would recommend any one having this issue report the issue to Apple.

  • marc_greiffmarc_greiff Member, PRO Posts: 250

    @BlackCloakGS‌ thanks for the reply. The only thing I would like to add is that I'm only having this problem with gs apps trying to access game center, other non-gs apps appear to be working with logins, post scores, etc.

  • ChechesoftChechesoft Member, PRO Posts: 171

    Yeah, it seems it was on Apple side... After a few days, the issue with game center automagically resolve it self now.

  • BlackCloakGSBlackCloakGS Member, PRO Posts: 2,250

    @marcgreiff I would recommend at this point to open a support ticket with Apple.

  • LovejoyLovejoy Member Posts: 2,078

    I can confirm that this is indeed a bug on Apple's end. They are currently working on getting a global fix out.

  • BigDaveBigDave Member Posts: 2,239

    Puh great to know that its an apple issue.
    I just updated all my 27 apps on iOS if the Game Center problem would have been on game salad site. I would hang myself.

    Good to know..

  • metametmetamet Member, PRO Posts: 80

    This issue is affecting my apps as well. Has anyone received a followup with Apple's support team?
