Hi,

Has anyone released or updated an Android game that uses GameCenterSetup() and GameCenterLogin() within say the last 6 months?

These two commands will log in fine when testing my game via the AppGameKit Player, but as soon as I install the app via the Google internal testing track it seems to get stuck on GameCenterLogin(). It doesn't freeze the game, it's not that kind of stuck, but the following code will just forever show logging in



In the AppGameKit Android export window I have the 12 digit application ID that's shown on Play Console for the game, so as far as I can tell I'm doing everything I need to do.

I do find the tooltip message a bit confusing in the AppGameKit Android Export window though because it says: "The 12 to 19 digit application ID assigned by Google Game Services to your app" is there another application ID for the same game on Play Console that I'm not seeing? One that specifically for Google Game Services, and not the main game application ID?

They should be the same... BUT in the Play Console., you will have to select the project and scroll down to Game Services Config.

There are a few steps here:

Create / Link Cloud Services (Firebase) with AppID
Configure Cloud Services (External Cloud Services Console)
Add Credentials

And... well, that's more-or-less it.
Remember you add Test Users via the Cloud Services., which will allow up to 100 External Testers (Internal is anyone who has Developer/Play Console access)
Yes., this is a ridiculous faff just to allow people to login via Game Services and have Cloud Saves.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll have to check later tonight to see if I've done any of those things or not. I did find it a lot more confusing on the Play Console than a few years ago when I last did this.

I've just logged in to Play Console and can see I did all that yesterday. I might not have done it right, but all flagged as done

I deleted the Game Service project on Play Console to start it again but had to stop at the part where I have to upload an app icon as I don't have it on my work machine. I did notice that when setting up the OAuth consent on Google Cloud Platform that Play Console tells you which 3 scopes to pick, I do remember I only picked game and game_lite. I didn't pick the other, but I missed the bit of text telling me which ones to pick. Will try again later when I have access to the app icon. Hopefully the one scope item I missed was the problem!

What option am I picking for the credentials?

Still not working. GetGameCenterLoggedIn() returns -1. The help file says: "If the user fails to login or GameCenter is not available then this will return -1." I'll assume it's the latter.

Try GetLastError() and See what it says

GetLastError() is a good tip, but unfortunately it's showing: Surface Size: 1080 x 2400.

I did look at all of my images to see if I can find the image that's that size to get rid of the error, but I don't have any. The biggest images are 2048x2048 which are spritesheets containing a grid of 64 tiles.

I get that surface error even when I create a new project and just have this as the code:



So I don't think it's image related.

To see if the Surface Error would be replaced with a new one I added the GameCenterLogin() to main loop. No difference, still Surface Error and GetGameCenterLoggedIn() eventually returns -1.

I'm going to put a if condition around the GameCenter commands so that they only trigger for iOS, at least until the app has been published when I can try it again to see if publishing it made a difference.

@dandrews, I rarely use the forum, so don't see replies until much later. I didn't get it sorted. In the end I realised it's an issue with AppGameKit that needs fixing. Someone reported it to TGC and basically got a response that it's not high priority, they may have worded it a bit differently, but that was what I got from it.
