My app is live but the leaderboards still aren’t updating. App was built with unreal engine 5 with blueprints. I have the leaderboard stat info entered into the node for write integer to leaderboard and a node for show platform specific leaderboard. The leaderboards are shown as live on app connect.
When I run the app, the Game Center login functions and the leaderboard interface launches as expected but it just lists a group of friends to invite. There are no scores listed and it says number of players 0 even though I have scored on two different devices and accounts. I have the Game Center entitlement added in Xcode. Not sure where else to look.

I have two devices (iPod, iPhone), each using a different Apple ID. I have an existing game to which I'm adding TBM. When the iPod invites the iPhone, it sends an iMessage invite to the iPhone; when I click on that message, I get "Retrieving", then Game Center in Settings is opened, not my App (same version installed on both devices). I start my App on the iPhone and that match is not shown in the Matchmaker View Controller.
When I send an invite from the iPhone to the iPod and I click on the iMessage invite, the app starts but the match isn't listed in the MatchMaker ViewController on the iPod (but is on the iPhone).
In addition, when I click on the info circle on the iPhone, it who's the two players and "App Store" under the Game Center name. However, When I do the same on the iPod, it has a "Play your turn" there.
Any ideas?
After authenticating the user I'm loading my Game Center leaderboards like this:
let leaderboards = try await GKLeaderboard.loadLeaderboards(IDs: [leaderboardID])
This is working fine, but there are times when this just returns an empty array. When I encounter this situation, the array remains empty for several hours when retrying, but then at some point it suddenly starts working again.
Is this a known issue? Or am I hitting some kind of quota maybe (as I do it quite often while developing my game)?.
Edit: My leaderboards are grouped in sets if that makes any difference here.
I do not understand how offline leaderboard submission is supposed to work in Game Kit:
While the documentation briefly states that offline submission is supported, how is that even possible when you first have to fetch a leaderboard object in order to then call its submitScore function? How can I get the leaderboard object in the first place when offline?
Can anyone enlighten me how this works? Or maybe point me to some relevant documentation?
I'm updating an existing distributed game to add turn-based matches. When the Matchmaker ViewController Info Button next to a game is pressed, the results vary:
iOS 15.x - Button under avatar says "Accept Invite" or "View Game" (depending on if invite has already been accepted)
iOS 18.x - Button always says "App Store" - I assume that means it would lead one to the App store to install the game.
Both devices (iPad 15.x and iPhone 18.x) have the same version of the game installed. The results are the same when running in the simulator.
When the game is released, I assume this button will work properly, no?

In my game 854159268 (com.1791entertainment.qugame), in my quMostRecent3 leaderboard, the top 2 entries have 'vanished'. They were there yesterday. I know these players have played today, as I see their scores on other leaderboards.
Any ideas how to get these back?
These 2 players (me and my tester) are both TestFlight ing - not sure if that changes things.

I'm developing a game that supports GameKit turn based matches. What I don't understand is this:
Is tapping on the Game Center notification push messages the only way for the GKTurnBasedEventListener to trigger? What if someone misses the push message (swiping it away by accident or something like that) but still wants to join? Is there some inbox somewhere where the pending messages can be seen or fetched?
Also it was mentioned in a very old WWDC video (from 2013, I think that's the latest with information about turn based matches) that the notification also includes a badge for the icon. However, I do not understand how to implement that. Is there any documentation for that?
I'm developing a turn based game. When I present the GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController players can opt in for automatch instead of selecting a specific friend as opponent.
How exactly does the matching work if a player doesn't specify anything explicitly?
Does Game Center send push notifications in a round robin fashion to all friends and the first one to accept is then matched as opponent? Is this documented somewhere?
