I'm building a game using Game Center's turn based matches.
I want to display a list of all the available matches. I've tried using loadMatchesWithCompletionHandler()
, but the array of games returns as nil
, and the error also returns as nil
. There are some ongoing matches.
This is what I have so far:
func authenticateLocalUser() {
if !gameCenterAvailable { return }
let player = GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer()
if player.authenticated == false {
player.authenticateHandler = {(viewController, error) -> Void in
if viewController != nil && self.presentingViewController != nil
{
self.presentingViewController!.presentViewController(viewController!, animated: true, completion: {
GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().registerListener(self)
GKTurnBasedMatch.loadMatchesWithCompletionHandler({games, error in
print(games)
if games != nil {
print(games!.count)
}else {
print(error)
}
})
})
} else {
if player.authenticated == true {
GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().registerListener(self)
GKTurnBasedMatch.loadMatchesWithCompletionHandler({games, error in
print(games)
if games != nil {
print(games!.count)
}else {
print(error)
}
})
}
}
}
} else {
print("already authenticated")
}
}
I even get nil
when creating a new match (it will print the match I just created, though):
func findMatchWith(minPlayers: Int, maxPlayers: Int) {
if !gameCenterAvailable { return }
let request = GKMatchRequest()
request.minPlayers = minPlayers
request.maxPlayers = maxPlayers
request.defaultNumberOfPlayers = 2
GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().loadFriendPlayersWithCompletionHandler({players, error in
if error != nil {return}
request.recipients?.append(players![0])
GKTurnBasedMatch.findMatchForRequest(request, withCompletionHandler: { match, error in
if error != nil {
print(error?.localizedDescription)
return
}
print(match)
GKTurnBasedMatch.loadMatchesWithCompletionHandler({games, error in
print(games)
if games != nil {
print(games!.count)
}else {
print(error?.localizedDescription)
}
})
})
})
}
It wasn't the code. It was how the game was set up in iTunes Connect. I needed to do this:
Later, I will try to delete the leaderboard, and see if it still works. The actual app won't have a leaderboard.
My confusion was because I wasn't getting the "unrecognized game" error, and I was able to create matches, play turns, list player's friends, but not list matches.
