Hey guys,

A game I coded some time ago wouldn't connect to Google Game Center anymore.
It used a pretty old API and Android version, so I updated it to Minimum Android Version 8.0 ( API 26 )

I still have a Galaxy S4, which runs Android 5.01, so I can't test it myself Oo

Can anyone please download and install the game, and see if it connects to Google Game Center?
It should display your Game Center name if it works correctly.


Thanks alot,
PSY

you don't need to set the minimum to 8.0, it's only the target - AppGameKit will handle that automatically in the next update.

I don't understand what you mean.

When I uploaded the app to Google Play Console, Google said the API levels were sufficient now ( Export options 8.0 API 26 ).
But I can't downgrade the version in Google Play Console anymore, which sucks
Once you uploaded a version which requires Android version X, you can't upload an older version later on.

I can download an old version on my Galaxy S4, but I'm still getting the Unable to sign in to Google Play Games Message.

How do I solve this?

(edit) Just found this thread:
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/222231


So the version I had in the store didn't work anymore because the SDKs it was compiled with were outdated, or for some other unknown reason.
The new version I uploaded today could work, but I can't test it, because I set the Minimum to 8.0 when exporting, and I only have a Galaxy S4 to test.
I could compile and export a new version with Minimum set to 4.x, but Google Play Console won't accept it. ( See attachment )
I just found out about the RequestPermission command, which I didn't build in the new version.


So probably nothing will work.
What do I do now? Wait for the next AppGameKit update, compile a new version which uses SDK 26, upload it and buy a new phone ( need that anyway )?

That Google Game Center crap starts to annoy me.
They build the most advanced AIs and can't get their Game Center implementation straight Oo
