Linked Web Application Required? #16

Closed NaxIonz closed 9 years ago

NaxIonz commented 9 years ago

We are developing our game for Android, and trying to use these tools just so we can reset achievements on test devices.

However, I can't seem to connect to the game when clicking "Sign In"

Am I required to have a linked Web application even for a mobile game?

ToddKerpelman commented 9 years ago

Yes, you need to have a linked Web application if you're intending to use the management tools. That's what allows the tool to sign-in to the same set of services that your Android game is using.

Does it matter what URL I use for that linked Web application?

Can we just use the landing page of our company? Or does it actually need to link to a "game?"

Is there any other way to reset the achievements without doing all this? (That's all we are trying to accomplish with these tools)

@NaxIonz this is the easiest way to reset. Once you link a web application and run this tool it will be one click.

@samtstern Can you clarify what I actually need to link to for a mobile game? We don't actually have any "Web Game/Application" so I am not quite sure what we are supposed to be filling out there just to get this tool working.

You just need to get a client ID for web. For the URL of the application put localhost:8000 (or whatever port you will use with python SimpleHTTPServer -m). There does not need to be a web 'game'.

Many thanks - I will relay that to our producer so he can set it up tomorrow, and I will attempt again :-)
