Gaming plugin always login failed for google play

edited October 2018 in Plugins
I used the google play services plugins in my project, and it can login and use the leaderboard without any problem.
Today, I switched to the Gaming plugin, and the code for using it is quite straightforward

pcall(require, "gaming")

game = Gaming.new("googleplay")

game:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_ERROR, function(e) print("LOGIN_ERROR") AlertDialog.new("failed", e.error, "OK"):show() end)
game:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_COMPLETE, function(e) print("LOGIN_COMPLETE") AlertDialog.new("success", "login complete", "OK"):show() end)

game:login()

It always login failed, since the google play services plugin works well in the same project with the same package name, I think the project configuration and the console settings in google play store is OK.

I spent all my day on that issue, but have no result, finally, I have to change back to the google play plugin and everything comes to work again.

are there any special settings need for this Gaming plugin?

  • I use 'Gaming' plugin, it works for me.
    But I never see google's auth progressbar.
    require "gaming"
    gp=Gaming.new("googleplay")
    gp:login()

  • Google have recently (in the last months) made Google Drive a requirement for their Gaming Services. You now need to enable Google Drive API in the dashboard for it to work. Could this be the issue?

  • @Xman : Check you have the correct google app id in all the plugin settings that needs it (ads, gaming, firebase, etc).

    This code below works - because I added it to a game that didn't even try to log in to google play before yesterday. It logs in now.
    pcall(function() require "gaming" end)
    if Gaming then
    	if android then
    		gaming=Gaming.new("googleplay")
    	elseif ios then
    		gaming=Gaming.new("gamekit")
    	end
    	if gaming then
    		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_COMPLETE,function()
    			print("gaming LOGIN_COMPLETE")
    			login=true
    			if pirateCopy then
    				pirateCopy=false
    				saveSettings()
    			end
    			gaming:getPlayerInfo()
     
     
    		end)
     
    		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_ERROR,function(e)
    			print("gaming LOGIN_ERROR:"..e.error)
    			if e.error=="No license." then
    				if not pirateCopy then
    					pirateCopy=true
    					saveSettings()
    					message("No license.")
    				end
    			end
    			login=false
    			tryLogin=false
    			gaming:logout()
    		end)
     
    		gaming:addEventListener(Event.PLAYER_INFORMATION_COMPLETE,function(e)

    					gamingName=e.name

    			gaming:loadScores(leaderboards[1],2,1,25)	--leaderboard,span,collection,max results

    				end
    			end
     
    			--gaming:loadState(0)  -- now load game state

    			print("Score",e.score,"Rank",e.rank,"Time",e.timestamp)

    		gaming:addEventListener(Event.REPORT_SCORE_ERROR,function(e)

    	print("Gaming plugin not installed.")
    end
     
     
    -- call login when you want to - eg, after loading or before player starts game
    	if gaming and not login then
    		print("gaming ok")
    		if tryLogin then
    			print("trying login")
    			gaming:login()
    		end
    	end

    With these being defined earlier:
    leaderboards={"xxx a leaderboard code xxx"}
    local login=false
    local tryLogin=true
    local gamingName="Guest"
    android=true

    And a function called 'saveSettings()' that saves the settings, that have been previously loaded!

    It also looks for my google name (sinistersoft) for the leaderboard and changes it to Anthony.

  • @hgy29 I did notice that this gets fired - even though scores complete gest fired - with no apparent error (e.error doesn't exist and would crash the program!)...

    gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOAD_SCORES_ERROR,function(e)
    print("gaming LOAD_SCORES_ERROR: no scores?")--..e.error)
    end)

  • @Xman : I just thought - it could be you haven't installed the program EVER from GooglePlay and have clicked the extra piracy check in the play store settings?

    If this is the case then you will get the login error and a 'not licenced' message (see the code above). To fix this just go to google play and install the program officially. If not released then upload it as an alpha apk and again install from the store at least once.

  • Maybe it's my lucky day today, after tens of login failed, it login successfully.
    I modified nothing.

  • Sometimes it just takes ages for things to happen with the Play Store. Glad to hear it now functions as it should.

    btw don't agree to Google's additional apk signing after uploading your app to console
    this crap may create unnecessary problems for you later on
