Hi Alex here from rebeloper.com and welcome to Day 8 of ASD - App Store Domination!
Today we are going to create a Leaderboard ID inside Apple's
Game Center, so without further ado let's get to work!
Okay! As you can see inside my Anti Candy Crunch source code I do have a
leaderboard ID with a scores and today I'm going to show you how you can create this ID.
Now what is a leaderboard ID? Let me just show you how Game Center
looks inside our app. If you go there... well Game Center is not available
because we are not signed in. But you already know the drill how this all
looks. Okay to the topic of this video how to create a leaderboard ID and as
you can see here I have my bundle identifier and the dot after that and
the name of our leaderboard and that is a scores. And that is most probably what
you want to add into your app. Now let us just create this. Okay, and we will do
this for our ASD Magic project. We will use com.Rebeloper.ASDMegic .
And we are going to do this inside our ASD Magics. So let me just
select my app so you may see it from the beginning. Okay, we have selected our app
inside iTunes Connect and we go to features and down here we have a Game Center.
Let's click on and that. Let's just wait for it and you should be able
to see a leaderboard section and an achievement sections. We are not going to
talk about the achievements for now we are going to create a leaderboard ID.
And for that let's just click on the plus button here and we will choose a single
leaderboard. And the Leaderboard Reference Name it should be Scores.
That is fair enough. Now here we have our Leaderboard ID and this is the most
important part of this setup. Because you need to copy your Bundle
Identifier. Let us just go back here and paste it in here and add a dot and
type in .Scores. Okay, Format Type should be integer. Score Submission Type: Best Score.
And the Score Order should be high to low of course. We want to see the highest
score on our leaderboard. Now next we need to add a language I will add an
English. Let's wait for iTunes Connect respond here. Sometimes it is a little
laggy. Let's choose our English, Name: Scores. Choose Score Format Integer.
Score Format Suffix is let's say point and the plural points. And image is optional
so I will not upload at this time. Let's click on save and as you can see a
localization has been added and finally click Save again to create your
leaderboard ID. And that is it here you have your leaderboard ID. It is ready for
you to add into your project. Of course you still need to add some code, some logic
into your app but this is not the purpose of this today's tutorial.
It was just to show you how you can create a Game Center leaderboard ID
in iTunes Connect. I hope you enjoyed this video if you did that go ahead and
create your very own Game Center leaderboard and as usual I will see you
in the next one! Good stuff! Now if you want to see more of this video and want
to boost your app business go ahead and take a look at my 30 Days Challenge App Store Domination.
