I searched and had trouble finding anything on this, so Im posting this so others can find it. If you get this message and you did things right on iTunes Connect and in the Provisioning Portal, and your game STILL says this when you log in to game center on an ad hoc build...
You need to delete the app from the phone, then reload it. Don't let Xcode overwrite it. Don't let testflight overwrite it. Delete it, because there is some residual data that messes up gamecenter if the game didn't previously have GC. THEN load the ad hoc on there fresh.

It will prevent you from wasting a lot of time.

    This message also occurs if you are trying to test game center on a jailbroken device , just to let you know .

    We don't have anything jailbroken, so that's why it was so annoying. Hopefully this thread shows up on search and others can waste less time.

    Doesn't seem to help me.
    I load my Ad Hoc build onto my device fresh, but it still complains "This game is not recognized by Game Center".
    Should I try creating a whole new Game Center identity or something?
    I used to work at a games company, maybe my old profile it getting mixed up because I used it there to test games and stuff...?

    Your adhoc provisioning has to use the same bundle id you have setup for the app in itunesconnect. That is generally the problem. Also you have to have GameCenter activated in iTunes connect.
