  • I've had this happen to me on many times. I figured it was related to ram, it's good to see I'm not the only one...

  • AndreasR

    The problem with the tutorial you linked is that it is outdated and does not work.

    There is information in the tutorial which does not exist but is required...

    If you can find me the: 'Client Secret', I will stand corrected.

    Here is the quote from the tutorial entry:

    "Client secret

    The client secret for the game from the Google Play Developer Console. This is only necessary when publishing via Cordova (e.g. PhoneGap Build). For more information see the section Setting up Google Play Game Services above."

    I have heard he doesn't keep those up anymore and I don't want them to break and be stuck with 50 apps that don't work...

    I feel much safer using the official plugin. Except for it doesn't work either...

    I have asked Ashley to fix it so we can release our games into the google play store using the standard plugin.

    I hope it happens soon ...

    CocoonJS is outdated and not available anymore.

    You need to switch to Cocoon.

    There the Play Games Services works fine.

    I'm using Intel XDK which is supported (cocoon deprecated), along with the official Construct 2 Google play services plugin...That is the official way to do it sponsored by Scirra and Construct 2...

  • Hi, guys!

    I got a question about the Google Play Games plugin:

    On this 2014 post (https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/1010/g ... hievements), AndreasR told us that Google Play Games was very buggy at that moment. Is it still happening? I mean, is it working properly? I'm getting trouble using phonegame plugin in order to place some leaderboards e achievements on my game and I'd like to use this official plugin.

    Thanks for you help!

    Regards

    Did you ever get this to work man?

  • We should also have a stinkers category for Construct 2 plugins that don't work...The "official" Google play services plugin hasn't worked for almost 2 years!! Then we can worry more about the quality of scirra's Arcade submissions....

  • Is it ready?? And can it utilize Google Play Services/iOS Game Center functionality as well??? )

  • Problem Description

    ____ The Google Play Services Manual includes much false and outdated information such as adding the Google Client Secret which doesn't exist and does not work. It has not worked for about 2 years now. What's the hold up on fixing this essential Construct 2 advertised feature? ____

    Fix your Google Play Services plugin please. How can something this important be broken for this long???????

  • Phoenixbowman

    Did you ever find the Client Secret ID??????

  • I have this exact same question...

    It seems Scirra's documentation on this issue is extremely poor, outdated, and limited to be generous...

  • Had to try like 10 different plugins until I finally found it!!! So lame we have to do this stuff with this engine, like an eternal hide and seek game, or cat and mouse chase..

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Is this fixed yet? Going to port some old c2 games to iOS unless it doesn't in which case I'll just use another engine.....

  • newt

    If it isn't the truth then say so. But if it is, then why are you mad at ME??? I'm just quoting one of the top C2 users and his experiences working with it.

    I thought it was interesting too, I just found it today. I feel like the more true information we have from different sources the better off we'll be.

    I posted this because it sounds eerily familiar to what I went through in my journey with HTML5....

    Also, I found this from the creator of The Next Penelope:

    "However, releasing your game on just one platform is a luxury most small developers like me cannot allow themselves. Let’s be clear as water: I missed contracts that would have drastically changed my financial life because of that. No, not because of Construct 2, but indeed because of the HTML5 upon which it is based, and which it depends on. From improbable tweaks to drastic optimization, without counting the help I asked from the gifted programmers I know. I thought I’d find solutions along the way, but despite my efforts, nothing worked well enough to be proud of the result."

    I'm just trying to take an honest look at all of this and realize what the best next move will be......
