Cannot submit Game Center leaderboard – asks for app version although app is already live
Hi, I’m stuck with submitting a Game Center leaderboard and wanted to ask if others are seeing the same issue. My setup: App is already live on the App Store Game Center capability is enabled Leaderboard works perfectly in TestFlight (scores are submitted and visible) Problem: When I try to submit the leaderboard for review, I get: “A Game Center enabled app version must be added for review.” This is confusing because: The app already includes Game Center The app is already approved and published Apple documentation says Game Center components can be submitted without a new app version I also tried recreating the leaderboard and checking all settings, but the issue persists. Is this a known App Store Connect issue? Or is there something I’m missing? Thanks!

MatchMaker VC not showing existing matches after upgrade.
Updated my app to include turn-based matches. Beta testing through FlightTest and all was well between iOS 18.x and 26.2 devices. One beta tester upgraded to 26.2 during beta testing and now when the MatchMaker VC is opened, it does not show existing matches. Worse, he can create new matches and play his turn, but the new match won't even show up in MMVC, even after opponent takes turn. My app has been reviewed and is ready for release, but I'd like to know how to solve this before I release. He has tried re-installing the app, including an updated FlightTest version that is the same as the about-to-be-released reviewed version.

Game Center Access Point does not appear on iOS 26 (Simulator)
Attempting to bring up the access point yields the following error log: [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy [GameCenterOverlayService] Could not create endpoint for service name: com.apple.GameOverlayUI.dashboard-service [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy [GameCenterOverlayService] Could not create endpoint for service name: com.apple.GameOverlayUI.dashboard-service [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy The same code (which is a single line setting 'active' to true) works on physical devices and on the simulator in iOS 18.6 I haven't been able to find any mention of this issue online. Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.

Xcode 26.4 Simulator Won't Load Game Center Data
For apps that support Game Center, calling presentViewController on a GKGameCenterViewController yields no data for leaderboards or achievements, regardless of which iOS version you're simulating (works fine on device, but doesn't work in simulator).
