    Which attribute you are updating? If it is high score, GC will keep only the highest one. If it is an achievement, once you update it to 100 it is completed, you cannot 'uncomplete' an achievement.

    Are you using the GS "Reset Game" behavior ?
    I don't believe that this behavior does anything but run a "Reset Scene" for every scene in your game... right?
    If you want to clear keys and game center, you'll need to do it manually.

    Thank u @justme74 , I have two ways to reset wheather Reset Game behavioir or an actor I made that will respawn , I don't want to make any changes to the Game Center when the user reset the game so I don't want to reset the attributes values. It's my first time to use game center and this information will make much difference to the way I continue my project.

    What's already on Game Center stays in it even if you reset the game.

    You can reset the game center achievements by using a specific behavior built for that, but rest game or scene will not have any impact on Game Center.

    I don't believe there is a way to reset the leaderboards

    I think that this behavior is supposed to only be used during development. I don't think it's safe to use it on Appstore builds, I don't even think it will work.

    I think it will work because if they use resetAchievementsWithCompletionHandler in the iOS API it work on any build. However, I agree with you, I am not sure why someone would want to do that... especially since it is an all or nothing reset.
