game centre

mdtajghori

Hey guys, I'm confused on the implementation of game centre. Correct me if I'm wrong, if I want to implement game centre in my game the game has to be published right? So do I add game centre based attributes in my game after apple accepts it? The reason I'm asking this is because I tried game centre in my ad hoc build and everything worked great except I had to add the game to itunes connect using the adhoc provisioning profile. It worked in this case because it's an adhoc build but I don't see this method working in my actual game because I won't have a provisioning profile for it before publishing it. So is my thinking right?

No.

you do not have to wait for apple to accept an app first
but you need to make an app first

To add gamecenter, you need to MAKE an app in itunesconnect, using the bundle ID you use in your ad hoc. When you make your app, you set up gamecenter settings, such as leaderboards achievements, you can search for video tutorials on this. When you finish making the leaderboards and achievements, go to your gamesalad game.

In your gamesalad game, your pro license includes "pro" behaviours. You use these behaviours in actors. For example.

You make a leaderboard : the id of it is
com.samplename.samplename
In a "submit score" actor you add the post score behaviour and use that leaderobard ID in the behaviour.

Remember to login at the start of the game (make an actor with login behaviour).. and you need to make a TEST account, via itunes connect
