I have just started integrating Game Center into my app and so far it has been fine.
I created a leaderboard which works perfectly, and 1 achievement which worked.
It came time to update game centre with all the other information and I have gone onto iTunes Connect and added 9 other achievements as well as adding my app icon into Game Center.
However, when I go into Game Center it appears as it did before I did those updates and I can't seem to get them to show, this includes my app icon, there is nothing there, just the leaderboard which is still updating fine, and the first achievement I made. The other 9 and my icon are nowhere to be seen?
Has anyone had this problem or know any fixes? Id like to be able to test the other achievements before submitting for approval.
Thank you in advance.
When you are submitting your update (in iTunes Connect) you need to make sure that you are checking off to add each of the new achievements.
Just because you create them does not mean you apply them to the update!

I'm a beginner of ios development, and I wonder whether capabilities are needed.
For example, I can GameCenter in my project without turning on GameCenter in Capabilities.
My question is what will happen if I use GameCenter in my project without turning on GameCenter and submit it.
Thanks in advance.
First of all, when you try and write game center code, it will not authenticate the player because game center in the app settings is not on, and you cannot turn the game center app setting on until you have an apple developer account. Bottom line is, if game center is not enabled in the project, it will not authenticate the player and it will not work. With that said, you cannot submit it anyway without an apple developer account, and if you have one you can just turn it on.
I'm trying to make a game using Game Center and Swift with iOS. However, whenever I display my leaderboard, I'm getting a screen that says, "No Data Available." Also, my NSLogs say that the application is not recognized by Game Center. I had found online that I'm supposed to add my Game Center leaderboard ID in an asset info field, but I can't find it. Does anyone know how I can fix my problem?
I found the answer! All I had to do was change the bundle identifier from com.example... to the bundle ID used on iTunes Connect and now it works!
I am developing a simple 2D sprite kit game for IOS. I added a leaderboard and some demo accounts to test it out and it all worked fine.
Yesterday, i decided it was time to release version 1.0 of the app and before i submitted the app for review i deleted the existing leaderboard just to make sure no fake scores from my demo accounts remain.
I then submitted the app for review and later when i tried to add a new leaderboard, the process works normally until i reach the point where i press save (to make the leaderboard active) but the button is greyed out no matter what i do. i read the documentation and searched online for similar cases and tried all of the following:
Made sure game center is enabled
chose single leaderboard
made sure the leaderbard reference name is correct
made sure the leaderboard Id is correct
Chose a score format
made sure to write the score range in numbers
create a localization language
however, the save button remains grey and i can not add a leaderboard. i tried today as well, the original leaderboard was deleted and stil the same issue. now when i try to play my game (on my test device) when i reach the end and the score should be submitted, the game crashes (since there is no leaderboard and my code submits the score at this point)
If my game is accepted and goes online it wouldn't be a good thing to have it crashing from version 1.0. I do not know what is causing this and what i can do to solve it, would appreciate any help.
Thank you
My app has been rejected by Apple for 4 times due to the message they sent:
"Your app is using Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements but you have not submitted the them for review."
My app uses Game Centre for Multiplayer mode, however, it does not have any leaderboards or achievements feature, game centre is simply enabled for multiplayer.
Please see the following screenshot for detail.
As you can see, under my app there is no leaderboards or achievements is selected. The only selected game centre option is "Multiplayer compatibility".
In apple's reject email says if I don't use leaderboards or achievements I can turn off game centre, however, as the game need Game Centre for multiplayer, I believe I cannot turn it off.
Under app's "Game Centre" tab in iTunnesConnect, I do have created some leaderboards and achievements, but those are for future updates which is not yet ready in this release. I didnt link those items with my app's submission as the above screenshot indicated.
The following is a screenshot shows the unfinished items I created for leaderboard and achievements. Once again, they are still under development and I didn't link any of them with the current app's submission.
And if you have a closer look I cannot actually delete every leaderboards as the 1st leaderboard item's delete button is disabled.
As it is getting very close to the app's launch date, it is getting critical. Please advice how can I fix this issue "your app is using Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements but you have not submitted the them for review."
Thank you very much!
The following is the full response from Apple:
2.3 - Apps that do not perform as advertised by the developer will be rejected
Thank you for your resubmission and for addressing the previous 2.2 issue. However the 2.3 issue is still presented in your app since the Game Center remains enabled for your app but no Game Center features were submitted.
If you intended to implement Game Center features in your app, please revise your app to include these features. Alternatively, you may wish to disable Game Center for your app and remove all Game Center references from your Application Description, What’s New info and screenshots.
2.3 Details
We still found that your app is using Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements but you have not submitted the them for review.
Next Steps
Please submit the Leaderboards and Achievements for review.
Login to iTunes Connect
Click on “My Apps”
Select your app
Click on “Game Center”
Complete the Leaderboards and Achievements set up
Select “Done”
Once you’ve completed all changes, click the “Submit for Review” button at the top of the App Details page.
Alternatively, if you do not wish to include Leaderboards and Achievements:
- Click the “Disabled/Enabled” button under “Game Center”
- Revise your Application Description, What’s New info, previews and/or screenshots to remove any content that refers to the Game Center feature(s).
ok, after contact with Apple, they have now passed my app's submission. No changes required. Game centre can be used without adding leaderboard or achievement if you are using multiplay compatibility.
I have been developing a client game. I have enabled game center from iTunesConnect, created leaderboards and also created InApps. But when I try to call them in the code, there is no response. Game Center is showing no items and in apps are giving any response i.e products are not loaded. Everything is correct, provisioning is correct, bundle id is setup correctly, game center and in apps are enabled. I tried the same code with my own game center and in apps and they worked fine. One thing missing in client's itunes connect is Contact and Tax Information. Is that the problem? Thats why apple isnt allowing me to add game center and in apps? Thanks
