Apple CloudKit

totebo · December 2014

Hi,

Has anyone implemented Apple's CloudKit with Gideros? Is there a plugin for it?

Cheers,

Niclas

Is cloudkit something different than was in gamecenter cloud saves?
Like this one:

I actually don't know if it's the same thing. Maybe someone else?

I guess that CloudKit is focus on storage in the cloud not only for gaming. Apple says developers do not need to write server-side code for save data on the cloud.

Has someone used the Gaming plugin with cloud saves for iTunes and Google Play recently?

Gaming:loadState(key)
Gaming:updateState(key, data[, immediate])
Gaming:deleteState(key)
Gaming:resolveState(key, version, data)

I can't find any documentation as to how to use cloud saves with the Gaming plugin (including setting it up on iTunes and Google Play). Can someone point me in the right direction?

No one?!

Here are some snippets...

				googleplayG:addEventListener(Event.STATE_LOADED,function(e)
					print("googleplayG STATE_LOADED")
					processLoad(e)
				end)
				googleplayG:addEventListener(Event.STATE_ERROR,function(e)
					print("googleplayG STATE_ERROR:"..e.error)
				end)
				googleplayG:addEventListener(Event.STATE_CONFLICT,function(e)
					print("googleplayG STATE_CONFLICT")
				end)
				googleplayG:addEventListener(Event.STATE_DELETED,function(e)
					print("googleplayG STATE_DELETED")
				end)

googleplayG:loadState(0)

function processLoad(e)
	if e.key==0 then
		if e.data and e.data~="" then
			local savedata=json.decode(e.data)
			if savedata then
				local loopMax=#savedata
				if loopMax>levelMax then
					loopMax=levelMax
				end
				lev=1
				for loop=1,loopMax do
				-- stars
					if scores[loop][1]<savedata[loop][1] then
						scores[loop][1]=savedata[loop][1]
					end
				--highscore
					if scores[loop][3]<savedata[loop][2] then
						scores[loop][3]=savedata[loop][2]
					end
					if scores[loop][1]>0 then
						lev=loop+1
					end
				end
				if lev>currentLevel then
					fullMapDraw=true
					if lev>levelMax then
						lev=levelMax
					end
					if lev>=(cloudLevel-1) then
						lev=cloudLevel-1
					end
					currentLevel=lev
					print("*** Current level: "..currentLevel)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

				print("saving 0 to google")
				googleplayG:updateState(0,saveString)

(the savestring being the opposite json of savedata)

Thanks! This looks what I implemented when testing, but on iOS. In my case nothing is returned when loadState is called.

I have enabled cloud kit in my app, and it shows up in the iTunes console. But I get no responses at all when calling the cloud services. Not even a nice little random crash.

How do I set this up properly? Is there a guide? How does it work on Google Play?

SinisterSoft · September 2016

I set it up the same on iOS (from what I remember, it's been over 12 months)

totebo · September 2016

Ok cool. Did you test your app in 2016.8.2? I guess not, but doesn't hurt asking.

SinisterSoft · September 2016

I didn't - I dread even trying to submit to apple as you have guessed. I will do soon though, promise!

Hi,

Im finishing my game, but Im having the same problem as @totebo comented

"I have enabled cloud kit in my app, and it shows up in the iTunes console. But I get no responses at all when calling the cloud services. Not even a nice little random crash. "

On googleplay services all works nice, but with ios nothing happened.

my code is like this.

- loggin to game center
- if error i created a game in local
- if loggin completed then loadstate(0) (here i check if there are a key created or not)
but STATE_LOADED or STATE_ERROR doesnt work, so my game wait until infinite.

Im testing in the last xcode version, with last gideros version (2018.2.1) in simulator.

i have configure my apple id with icloud services like apple help says.

any idea? or someone with same problem?

thanks

Just tried in a real device, and nothing happens too. (Im testing with key-value storage)

theone10 · March 2018

ok, i think i found the solution ... at least state_loaded and state_error works now.

in gaming ios plugin, inside frameworks folder/ GameGamekit.m:

I commented lines where self.ubiq is check. I think ubiq container is old thing of ios, now depends of icloud container, so plugin never gets self.ubiq url, so loadstate function now works like this:

-(void)loadState:(int)key{
// if(self.ubiq) { --- I commented this to uncheck the never declarate self.ubiq
[GameClass stateLoaded:[self class] with:key with:[[NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore defaultStore] objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@%d, key]] with:1];
// }
}

the same for all methods where self.ubiq is check

I think plugin should be update in next realease

@SinisterSoft @ar2rsawseen @hgy29

thanks for this great engine guys

Are you fixing/trying this @totebo ?

totebo · March 2018

Hey, not actively!

I haven't got a project that needs it at the moment, but may have a bash if I start one. Although I may go with Xtralife instead, which seems more flexible.

XtraLife is great!
