Migrating to Game Center Groups

Hey,


I have an existing iOS App with Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements that I now want to transfer to a Game Center Group for multi-platform shared leaderboards. (OS X / tvOS)


1. I have an update already in the review pipeline set to the standard leaderboard id's.

2. I have setup a Game Center Group for this App post this being in review.

3. I want to retain all player scores / achievements


Notes: According to Diego:

"I migrated to my game to GC groups, then submitted my game for OS X using the grp prefix. I didn't have to make any changes to the iOS version, it just worked. Game is called Arcane Tower in case you're interested"

I checked his App on iOS and OS X and the leaderboards are in sync.

So it seems the old id's (original ones) seem to keep in sync with the new grp versions. However if you create a new application using these you must use the grp prefix to address them (say the OS X version or tvOS).


My questions are:

1. Do I need to modify the iOS leaderboard / achievement id's to include the grp* prefix?

2. Do I need to update this due to submitting an update?

3. Will player scores / achievements be retained (very important).

4. Are there any best approaches to this situation?
