Gamecenter issues (repeating achievements)

Apple approved my first game today B) but I noticed an issue with gamecenter achievements ...
(NOTE: I did search the forums and found other posts but without a definitive answer/solution).

Basically just wanted to check if anyone had experienced incremental achievements repeating after 100% even though they are set to award only once.

my steps ...
1) my game attribute (total) is set in gameplay scene
2) when game is over, switch to the game over scene where I update all my achievements (game.total/goal)*100

now,this works perfectly when reaching 100% and showing the progress but I get the pop up for the achievement every game over after the initial awarding of it)

i thought i read that it will ignore after 100%, is that still correct?

Thanks!

    OK, here is the quote from the cookbook ...

    "Once an achievement is unlocked and awarded via Game Center it cannot be awarded again. Even if you continue to update an achievement past 100% it will be ignored by Game Center so there is no need to add extra SAVE logic for the achievement itself."

    So, my achievements are obviously not being ignored by Game Center. Did anyone have to use additional logic to see if the achievement has already been unlocked?

    I have all my achievements in a table and whenever they are unlocked, column 3 boolean switches to true, never had your experience tho

    I went and used this approach and sent a new version in ... of course while waiting for it to get approved the problem went away (for the time being anyway, it looks OK) ... so just in case anyone encounters repeated achievements, maybe just wait 24 hours.

    Thanks!

    Hi, did anyone else had this issue? Will this really get solved after 24H from publish?

    I keep getting the same notification even if I only send it once, I don't see any way around this aside from removing the achievements

    So I think the idea is we'll keep showing the achievement notification, but it will only be awarded once if the achievement is configured that way.

    So how can I stop it from showing?

    It's just keep poping in a loop without any rule firing again, looks like the system gone crazy
