Glad you asked Yes, you can I couldn't squeeze more pts from it, but i suppose you'll be able. What's your score there?
Just the other way round for me, I don't get the global scores on my older iPhone but I do on my iPad.?? iOS ?
What I miss is the ability to place arrows outside the screen by 90% of their length. Now you can only push as much as 50%, but even with that people somehow manage to get the tricks done... Crazzzy!
The problem in general: Remember all that media hype a few years ago with the UDID (unique device identifier) and how a few evil-minded developers used that ID to build stats on users behind their back? Ultimately, it all pushed Apple to restrict developers from implementing code that asked a device for its UDID altogether. We used that very UDID in a far more honest way, i.e. to tie your device to your score at our leaderboards. The reason some Catters can still can post to our leaderboards is they have a save game file on their device that pre-dates the policy change. If you fired up Cat Physics PRIOR to the ban, the game got the UDID just fine and saved it to disk (encrypted of course.) Even after the new policy applied, the game could still read the UDID from disk and use it when posting scores to our leaderboards. For new users however, the game will NOT attempt to ask for the "sacred" UDID, nor do they have it cached on disk. Some thing goes if you throw away the app and re-install it, your save game is lost - and so is your UDID. My guess is that when you bought your iPad, you set it up as a new "clean" device and not from an iCloud / iTunes backup where the save game files would have been restored too.
thank you for thus explanation! i had to solve the same problem with lightlands so new players with new installations are not able to send their scores to the donutgames website?
Correct! Old players with new installations will lack the feature too. In short, to be able to use the DG website: 1) You must have fired up the game, at least once, prior to the UDID policy change 2) You must still use that same device * OR * transferred your old data to your new device through the iTunes / iCloud Restoration guide
Are you planning to give them a unique id if the uuid isn't available? I did it this way, when no id was found in the player prefs yet: Code: playerId = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); This gives a unique id but it's a different result every time you calculate it, so it's no device id, just a unique one ... I know you don't want to spend too much time with CP... ... but with CP2 maybe I just bought the 3 Micro-Battles today (because i've already bought every single "normal" donutgame in th past)
I have found a way to transfer my player id from the iphone to the ipad and now i can upload the score to the DG-website :O) Thank you again for the explanation!
