Apple Game Frameworks and Technologies: Show the Game Center Dashboard failing

Title: Name of book: Apple Game Frameworks and Technologies: Show the Game Center Dashboard failing (page 383…)

At the risk of embarrassing myself again (not that I should not be accustomed to it by now).

(As far as I can tell after reviewing all the instructions against my code changes several times) I’ve made all the changes to display the dashboard, leaderboard, and achievements, but when I click on the “Game Center” button. Nothing happens. The console log displays the following log lines:

2021-01-25 10:26:38.134412-0500 hog[41162:2431231] [Error] We failed to present Game Center dashboard extension.
2021-01-25 10:26:39.178478-0500 hog[41162:2431934] [AXRuntimeCommon] Unknown client: hog

By any chance, is this something obvious to someone with more experience hooking this up?

I’ve grepped around a bit and notice that the app is set up as hog.app, but all instructions are setting up bundle identifiers and everything on the developer site as hogdice. I don’t see anything obvious about why these would have to match, so probably looking in the wrong area.

Gonna go do a workout and come back to it… (at which point, I’ll promptly re-read, see where I missed a paragraph of instructions, and post a mea culpa reply again)

TL;DR — follow ALL of the instructions

And… sure enough… page 372 (" 6.Sign out of your Apple ID on all testing devices and sign back in with your new sandbox tester account.")

Was the minor detail I missed… I had signed into Game Center in the app, but didn’t do it on the simulator main iCloud account.

Now If I can just figure out what the ^%$^&%$ thing is on a yellow background

(actually, that looks like a simulator bug… looks fine on the iPhone simulator) (apparently a known bug on Big Sur on iMac)

Interestingly… those two log messages still show up in the log. (even though it is presenting the Game Center Dashboard)
