There are two things I don’t know (or can’t remember) if they’re possible:

1. If I define a leaderboard in the Apple game configuration, I remember it’s possible to update that leaderboard, but I can’t recall if it’s possible to download or read the current leaderboard data from the platform. Is that possible?
2. Is there any way to save game progress to iCloud? I already save progress and settings locally, but is it possible to save and load that information from iCloud? Does GS have any way to handle that?

Thanks!

EDIT
Removed the Steam Code bit from the title since the contest is long over!

It seems that all the tutorial's link that are provided on the official website are all dead...

GameSalad is still alive ? What's happened ?

Thank you.

I developed on the Mac version (I never got used to the web version, partly because my game wasn't "converted" to HTML5 without giving me hundreds of errors).

I using the GameSalad-Creator-1.25.103 version, , the usual one, and when I open it, it tells me I have to choose a paid plan to continue. Is that correct?

I thought I remembered the editor was free and you needed the license to export... I don't know if the project even opens... but anyway, if that's the case, I guess I'll pay for at least a month to see if the project opens... it's kind of funny. I spent years paying the annual subscription, which renewed automatically, despite not using it, haha.

Is it expected that the project will work and can be published in the Apple and Google stores? Or am I going to get stuck somewhere because things changed and this compatibility was lost?

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

I am updating an app and I keep getting the following error message in transporter.

Validation failed (409)

Missing Provisioning Profile - Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision.

Thanks for your help

So I'm attempting to re-upload my android apps so they comply with the latest Android Target SDK 35.

The last time I updated all my apps was 2023, and honestly I'm having a hard time either remembering the steps or knowing if they've been changed in the last couple of years.

Would someone here be so kind as to provide a basic walkthrough - from publishing to GS all the way to the upload to the Google Console (please don't be afraid to dumb it down to the point of condescension)

Just one additional point - it seems like we can no longer jarsign the app with SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 ?

Is that correct and does that mean we have to sign it with sigalg SHA256withRSA ?

Many thanks!

I'll send you the post link via DM.

Here's the error I am seeing "Something went wrong building your app. Please check your settings, make sure your icon and default loading images are png files and try again. If the problem persists contact us and reference publish request [59cc84c8-b008-4887-802e-d636cac7fd5

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated

What can I do?

I hope user can save the data by sign google account.
If user remove my game, and after someday instal again, he/she can read last data from google acoount.

Like this:

Can Gamesald do it?
Thank you.

I’m implementing a character’s inventory and have created an inventory table that contains all the items.

In this table, I want the player to be able to select a specific category, such as helmets, and display only the items corresponding to helmets in the list.

For example, the table has columns like itemNo and parts, and I want to show only the items where the parts value is 1

thanks!

How do I import a creator 1.125 program into creator 2.0?

Thanks

I tried to get him to reboot with some exception code where if linearvelocityx goes to 0 a simple variable change gets triggered to get him rolling again. But even that doesn't get him going again I am not sure how to QA this better. Anyone who wants to help is invited, thanks.

It seems that Apple no longer supports Bitcode for iOS apps, and I suspect the Smaato SDK included with IronSource might still include Bitcode. Unfortunately, the ability to enable or disable specific ad networks is only available for Android builds in GameSalad.

When I submit a build without IronSource, the error goes away. However, since my app also crashes when AdMob is added to the build, I'm unsure if the issue lies with IronSource/Smaato, something in my game, or the way my build is being generated.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Templates for (almost) every occasion!

"How do I make my game look right on other devices?" is a common question on these forums. GameSalad offers limited help with this - you can letterbox your game and get rejected by Apple, you can ocerscan (crop) it and lose some of the visible game, or you can stretch it and everything looks distorted and ugly.

What GameSalad intend, though, is for you to only use these options as a starting point. If you crop your game, you're expected to move your interface and game elements around to compensate for the lost space. If you stretch it, you're expected to adjust the camera to compensate. Unfortunately GameSalad don't give much help doing this, so I've thrown together a series of templates and videos that walk you through what's happening, what you need to consider, and how you can adapt your game to work beautifully on any device.

We call this process "Universalising" - making your game work "universally." The aim of these templates is to allow you to copy and paste the necessary code from them templates into your own project.

A pack of all the templates is attached and linked at the end if you just want to grab everything.

Overview

I recommend starting with this overview video. It talks about the different options you have when adapting your game for different device sizes. It looks—very broadly—at what will happen if you properly use the Overscan (crop) and Stretch options. If you're making your first game, this is well worth a watch, even if you're not at the point in the process where you're actually trying to universalise it. It'll help you to know what parts of the screen will be safe to use, or will be common to different devices.

Landscape

If your game is landscape, you're going to want one of these templates.

Starting with an iPhone/720p aspect ratio

Non-X iPhones (i.e. 6,7,8,11) are the same aspect ratio as 720p, so the templates should work great regardless of which you started your project with. If you started your project as an iPhone 5 game, that's the same aspect ratio too so you'll be able to just copy and paste the logic from one of these templates into your game.

Grab the templates here, or here, or attached just below.

I've done videos that look in detail at two of these templates so far. One for 720p/iPhone landscape stretch and one for overscan.

This video focuses on the stretch template.

This video focuses on the overscan template.

Starting with an iPad aspect ratio

If your game is primarily going to be an iPad game, you probably want to start with an iPad as your default device size. If that's the case, and you want to adapt it to work with phones too (with it perfectly fitting the iPads being most important) then you'll want to grab one of these templates.

When using overscan, the iPad starting point actually gives you two options, which I discuss in the overview video. You can either crop it hard for iPhone, cutting off damn near half the scene, or you can do some cropping and some stretching. This template crops all iPhones to the same height, and then stretches the scene to add extra space on the iPhone X aspect ratio phones, rather than cropping even more off for those devices. This gives a good middle-ground.

Grab the templates here, or here, or atttached just below.

I'll eventually get around to doing videos for the iPad, particularly the crop one, but the principles are mostly the same as for the 720p, so watching the videos for those will give you a good idea of how they work.

I sent a build about 4 or 5 hours ago and it's stuck with the message: RC Build Pending

Is that a server-side problem? or is there something I can do on my end?

Thanks

I tried to open some old projects I made in Windows back in 2010, but GS will not even login on my Windows machine. It will install and open but when I try to login the client it says "Internal Server Error." I would like to transfer my old .proj files to Mac so I don't have to start from scratch but see no documentation on how to to this.

Also your site advertises for $25/mo for pro, but it is $29 at checkout. Not a big deal, but a pretty bad clerical error as far as branding goes.

"The version of GameSalad used to create this project is not supported. Please download the latest version."

I checked and have the latest version; I hadn't had this problem before. Please help. Thank you in advance."

About once a year or so, I come back to see if I can finish a project I left hanging in GS quite some time ago. Every time I come back to it, I don't remember anything at all… I dust off the old Mac, renew the expired certificates and profiles, and usually lose a couple of hours until I manage to build something.

I’m encountering this error, and honestly, I’m not sure if it’s "on my side" or if it’s something on the GS servers when generating the build.

After generating the build (I’m not sure if there’s currently any difference between the standard version and the "RC"), when I press the "Sign App" button, it downloads and then throws this error:

Could not Find Bundle Name in plist

Make sure you are still logged in to the GameSalad webpublishing web site, try regenerating the app and resigning.

Could you point me in the right direction to solve this? Apologies if it’s something rather obvious... I must admit I’m a bit rusty.

Just in case, I'll add that my GS subscription had expired for a few months... I renewed it, but could that possibly have something to do with it?

Thanks!
