    That's rough :(

    Then there is absolutely no 100% success rate workaround, grim future we have indeed.

    Not sure if it's coincidence or what, but now that I'm away from the comfort of Wifi my GC is back to working perfectly. Guess I'll have to do all my iOS gaming at work. Lol

    You are getting way behind me AKD, you are still at 132.000 points, I am at 156.000 points now, I got 20.000 points in the last 4 months or so. Too bad for you ha ha, sorry, what's wrong with Apple this should be their number one priority.

    Agreed.

    A fix might be better than a workaround tool. Still hoping to hear from someone who has tried 9.3.2, who has hit this bug in the past.

    I haven't read all the 70 pages.. But I'd just like to say I have never used TestFlight and still experience the issue. It happened exactly as saosijs put it.

    The airplane workaround stopped working for me at some point because Game Center Settings showed me as being logged out and threw a pop up about not being able to connect when I opened it after a reboot.

    But after updating to iOS 9.3.1, Game Center worked for a short while (less than an hour) and I was signed in already. After it broke, I force restarted the device in airplane mode and was able to finish the sign out process. It has been "working" since then. Not gonna sign in now.

    Hi! I finally received a response from Apple support that says the following:
    "Engineering has implemented changes that are supposed to fix this problem. These changes are in the latest version of the software, iOS 9.3.2, build 13f51a."

    I no longer belong to the Apple beta program, but can someone who has access to this, try it I and let us know? I can't believe That it's really fixed but would be great if it was!

    Got the same email 3 times from different people I've spoken or emailed within Apple.

    Now I just have to test it with my main GameCenter account.

    I'm not an optimistic person but it would sure be nice to be able to put this thread out to pasture. Fingers crossed.

    I'm not an optimist either, but 9.3.2 beta has fixed it for me, for now.

    This is big news if it's true and it works.

    Will believe it when I see it! I don't want my hopes to be crushed if it doesn't work when the final build releases :O

    Do the older games seem to work with the fix?

    (Games released before iOS 7 was released?) (Before September 2013)

    I just downloaded iBlast Moki which hasn't been updated since 2011 and GC has logged in to it fine.

    Wow that's great news! I'm hoping I can have both an Air 1 and Air 2 functioning with Game Center.

    Ive had the Air 2 working on 9.2.1, the Air is broken with Game Center, so I'm going to update the Air One later this afternoon.

    Going to try redownloading a few older rhythm games and Chillingo classics that are still in the App Store.

    I'd assume that any GC game should both register and work now as long as the game is still available in the App Store.
