I need some help on a couple things. First of all what does "use external browser do"? and what happens if I don't check that box? (http://gyazo.com/2dc31768dcd5951c5a185f26ce207c10)

Also, I have a button which leads to leader boards, but how do I actually program that?

And lastly, how do I link a user to my app (to rate it) when I don't have the URL yet? is there a formula? Like do I just put the app ID at the end of a certain link? Example: apple/itunes/app/YOUR-APP-ID

(Btw, I'm on Windows)

External prowser will open up the device browser and then point to the URL that you have entered. Not selecting this will use the game as a browser and point the same URL.

You would need to explain more to get an answer for this. How do we know what you already have? I assume your using a template here? Start a new thread with the question in the title for that 1 question and you will receive help

Different stores uses different formats.

Apple - this can be found after registering the app name. This info is found by selecting your app>then select more>View on App store. -This will open itunes (which will say its not found) and also a browser, use the browser URL and this will become the URL when live.

Amazon - This become available after registering the Apps Name. This infor is found by clicking>Apps and services>Then at the far right if you hover over the app, a cog will appear> Select the one that says view on amazon.com

Google - This is in the following format:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ENTER YOUR PACKAGE ID

(the package ID is the same as you have entered in your publishing portal - normally in this format - com.yourdoaim.yourapp)

(Btw, I'm on Windows)

Sorry to hear that, to publish to the apple app store you will need to use a mac or use mac in cloud.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for posting that. I knew how to get the other two and I had been to that page on Amazon before but didn't realise that that address would be the app store address when it went live. I never even looked in the address bar just read the message and though it can't be done. Feeling a little stupid right now .
