    @yasoofx if you are talking about GameCenter for Mac OS X. We do not support GameCenter for Mac OS X at this time. Only for iOS. If you are having issues with GameCenter for iOS please submit a support ticket.

    Lol... so few changes made in Mavericks, I hardly see why something like GS would have any problems. I most likely won't update this go round, there's just no reason too.

    so anyone upgrade yet? I'm taking an image (using Carbon Copy Cloner for those of you who don't know about it) of my macbook right now, once that's done I'll be running the upgrade.

    best part is, if something breaks I can boot from the USB drive if i need to.

    @BlackCloakGS will GS support Game Center or In-app Purchase soon?

    Thanks for volunteering, looking forward to what issues you'll find if any. I'm also set to upgrade but not if anything affects the GS experience.

    please stay on topic, you should post in the roadmap sticky about development stuff. this thread is for OS X Mavericks compatibility.

    Fwoar!? 10.9 Mavericks? I only just upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8.4.

    Great to see you guys are giving it a good testing though. Good to hear it's all working for you, Mr Mulcahy.

    @BlackCloakGS

    I think I found a bug with android publishing, and the only thing that makes sense is my recent upgrade to OS X Mavericks. I'm not sure if it's even with GS, but just in case.

    1. generate keystore
    keytool -genkey -v -keystore whatever.keystore -alias whatever-keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

    2. download and sign APK using above keystore

    3. Go to install generated APK on Kindle Fire (1st and 2nd gen), it fails with 'application not installed'.

    I spent the past few hours troubleshooting:
    1. Used an older keystore (I was previously generating one per app). (worked)
    2. Made sure I updated my android dev enviroment and JDK 7.0 (failed)
    3. regenerated the keystore 10 times (Failed every time)
    4. tried signing old project (Failed)

    I finally just generated the keystore on my iMac which is still running 10.8, and that worked. That has not been updated in about 9 mths as far as android/jdk goes.

    So, either gamesalad is having trouble singing keystores generated with 10.9, or the android keystore generate doesn't work in 10.9. I'm not sure which, I lack the tools to really take this further.

    @BlackCloakGS and @jonmulcahy Any update on weather it is safe to upgrade to OS X Mavericks yet ??? I am keen to update but don't want to break GS Creator / App publishing as I only got one machine ... Is the Android publishing issue reported by @jonmulcahy sorted ? An update would be great ... Thank you in advance ... Cheers ;-)
  • BlackCloakGSBlackCloakGS Member, PRO Posts: 2,250
    @neoman I will be looking into the android signing issue some time this week.
  • neomanneoman Member, BASIC Posts: 826

    you can always (and i suggest you do), download parallels and keep a virtual of 10.8, that way you have a older machine you can rely on.

    I upgraded to Mavericks last night and then upgraded to GS 0.10.4.1. Everything seems to be running as before. I haven't noticed anything different yet. Will keep an eye out though.

    Things seem to be running smoothly for me also with Mavericks
    Have you guys published apps after the upgrade to Mavericks ??? Cheers

    I published a project to my iPod this morning on Mavericks with the latest nightly build and it all seemed ok. It was only a test project to see what the new social share feature was like so not sure what a published version for Apple would be like (problems wise)
  • neomanneoman Member, BASIC Posts: 826
    @jonmulcahy I was just curious to see if @clee2005 and @uptimistik where having the same issue as you with Android publishing ... @KevinCross I believe publishing to IOS is ok @jonmulcahy only had a problem signing Android apps ...

    well the problem was not with singing android apps, it was with creating the keystore you use to sign apps.

    Sorry @neoman, I haven't published with this configuration yet. I will shortly though, and will report back.
