Got me the Gamecenter blues

Hey all, looking for those who have had issues with Gamecenter and how they resolved them. You think after a few titles I'd get it right (although I can see no reason it won't work now).
For my game I did set up and had it working at one point. Scores were posting, but at some point (possible after the update), it stopped posting. I just didn't notice when cause the score came up, it was just always the same score.
So I went back to basics and just created a new id for my leader board, added a post button to test, set new id to return score leader board, I'm in Sandbox mode, the cosign matches and still nothing is shown on the leader board.
So are there any tips on what to try when scores are not posting when everything you've set up is correct? Is there a way to test outside of sandbox mode? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I checked and rechecked my rules, and made sure the ID was set up correctly, and that it wasnt doing the expression editor bug... then Ive tried a new Leaderboard and ID, and still not seeing any updates appearing.
Anyone else other than us two having the same issue? And did you come up with a solution Sparq?
I know when testing previous games in GameCenter it can sometimes take a couple of hours for the GameCenter servers to update, but it seems to be taking much, much longer if its actually doing it at all....

Games running on iOS5 dont display the published highscores in GameCenter in sandbox mode. I tested across a number of devices, and all the non iOS5 devices show the updated scores correctly. All devices are publishing the scores correctly, its just the iOS5 devices do not show any leaderboard scores at all. So the non iOS5 devices are all showing the score updates that the iOS5 devices have published, even though they dont show up on the iOS5 devices themselves.
Now the big questions are... is it a GameCenter iOS5 fault, or is it a GameSalad compatibility issue with GameCenter iOS5? And does it mean that the issue will occur out of sandbox mode, and iOS5 users wont be able to see Gamecenter scorelists?
I think this one needs some wider testing by users and GameSalad QA.... Ive reported the issue.
Has anyone got a game on the appstore that they published post 0.9.8 and that they can test on an iOS5 device, to check that new GameCenter highscores are being displayed correctly?
Although in my case this was happening before I upgraded to ios5 it still gives me hope.
My problem in short:
I have an app in the store, it is updated and game center is added.
It works.
A few weeks later:
I post a new version
Game Center scores are not posted.
It says: No New Leaderboards have been set up While leaderboards are enabled and there is a leaderboard.
The way I look at it now it tells me to make a new leaderboard for each update which is nonsense right?
Also do you guys have a problem with the show leaderboard? Mine always goes to all time score while the attribute is clearly set up for todays scores.

I have read the iTunes Connect developer guide and found zip.
I strongly believe this is a Game Salad only thing since both sandbox and normal game center versions do not work.
I know of the don't push the expression button when inserting the game center id.
But since it still isn't working and I can't even test it I am out of options.
I am going to send Game Salad a mail since there is almost no reply from them here.
I'll let you know when I get a reply.

It just sucks. I have two apps with Game Center released with non working scores and there is no way to check if it is working before releasing.

However No scores post.
Should I publish or not. Will it work live?

Had the same issue (score not posted), some leader boards got submitted, others didn't. This is how I resolved it (also resolved my load/save issues)
1. Put the leader boards names in a Table
2. On the behavior access the leader board name from the table
No issues since (crossing fingers).

I don't remember how but all is fine here.
Thanks for your suggestion.
