Game Center in tvOS not showing up - swift

I currently have Game Center working in my iOS target, but not working in the tvOS target.
I've already added the Leaderboard images and placed the identifier in Xcode here:
This is the class that I'm using to bring up the leaderboard and initiate the player. It's called GameKitHelper.swift:
import UIKit
import Foundation
import GameKit
let PresentAuthenticationViewController = "PresentAuthenticationViewController"
class GameKitHelper: NSObject {
static let sharedInstance = GameKitHelper()
var authenticationViewController: UIViewController?
var gameCenterEnabled = false
func authenticateLocalPlayer() {
//1
let localPlayer = GKLocalPlayer()
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = {(viewController, error) in
if viewController != nil {
//2
self.authenticationViewController = viewController
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(PresentAuthenticationViewController, object: self)
}
else if error == nil {
//3
self.gameCenterEnabled = true
}
}
}
func reportAchievements(achievements: [GKAchievement], errorHandler: ((NSError?)->Void)? = nil) {
guard gameCenterEnabled else {
return
}
GKAchievement.reportAchievements(achievements, withCompletionHandler: errorHandler)
}
func showGKGameCenterViewController(viewController: UIViewController) {
guard gameCenterEnabled else {
return
}
//1
let gameCenterViewController = GKGameCenterViewController()
//2
gameCenterViewController.gameCenterDelegate = self
//3
viewController.presentViewController(gameCenterViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func saveHighScore(identifier: String, score: Int) {
if (GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().authenticated) {
let scoreReporter = GKScore(leaderboardIdentifier: identifier)
scoreReporter.value = Int64(score)
let scoreArray:[GKScore] = [scoreReporter]
GKScore.reportScores(scoreArray, withCompletionHandler: {
error -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
print("error")
}
else {
print("Posted score of \(score)")
}
})
}
}
}
extension GameKitHelper: GKGameCenterControllerDelegate {
func gameCenterViewControllerDidFinish(gameCenterViewController: GKGameCenterViewController) {
gameCenterViewController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}
NavigationController class:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
selector: Selector("showAuthenticationViewController"),
name: PresentAuthenticationViewController,
object: nil)
GameKitHelper.sharedInstance.authenticateLocalPlayer()
}
func showAuthenticationViewController() {
let gameKitHelper = GameKitHelper.sharedInstance
if let authenticationViewController = gameKitHelper.authenticationViewController {
topViewController?.presentViewController(authenticationViewController,
animated: true,
completion: nil)
}
}
deinit {
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self)
}

Make sure you have an "Apple TV Dashboard Image" in your app's asset catalog. The dashboard artwork should be 923x150 with transparency, and it doesn't need to be layered since the user can't select it.
The tvOS Human Interface Guidelines claim that the dashboard artwork is optional, but in my experience GKGameCenterViewController will refuse to appear if you don't have one.

How to made a UIViewController class reusable to pass data back to a viewController that calls it

I was using the code from the following site
https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/media/how-to-scan-a-qr-code
The code works perfectly, the code can be viewed by accessing the link above.
It was a code that capture a QRCode/BarCode from camera and convert it to string.
The part of the the code that shows the string is:
func found(code: String) {
print(code)
}
After that the code string is "printed", the code calls "dismiss" and return to the previous UIViewController.
I want to get the "code" string and get the data to the previous UIViewController.
The only way that I am able to do that now is using the following code:
func found(code: String) {
print("code: \(code)")
ResenhaEquideoIdentificaAnimal1Controller.shared.microchipAnimalTextField.text = code
}
But this code only works if the code is called by the "ResenhaEquideoIdentificaAnimal1Controller" class.
I use the following code to call the new UIViewController inside the "ResenhaEquideoIdentificaAnimal1Controller" class using a UIButton.
let myScannerViewController = MyScannerViewController()
present(myScannerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
How can I made this class reusable to be able to call the "MyScannerViewController" class
and send data back to the view that calls it?
You want to use a "delegate patten", that is, when the code is found or something went wrong, you delegate the functionality to some other party to deal with it.
For example, you could modify the existing example to add support for a simple delegate...
import AVFoundation
import UIKit
protocol ScannerDelegate: AnyObject {
func scanner(_ controller: ScannerViewController, didDiscoverCode code: String)
func failedToScanner(_ controller: ScannerViewController)
}
class ScannerViewController: UIViewController, AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate {
var captureSession: AVCaptureSession!
var previewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer!
weak var scannerDelegate: ScannerDelegate?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
guard let videoCaptureDevice = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .video) else { return }
let videoInput: AVCaptureDeviceInput
do {
videoInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: videoCaptureDevice)
} catch {
return
}
if (captureSession.canAddInput(videoInput)) {
captureSession.addInput(videoInput)
} else {
failed()
return
}
let metadataOutput = AVCaptureMetadataOutput()
if (captureSession.canAddOutput(metadataOutput)) {
captureSession.addOutput(metadataOutput)
metadataOutput.setMetadataObjectsDelegate(self, queue: DispatchQueue.main)
metadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = [.qr]
} else {
failed()
return
}
previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: captureSession)
previewLayer.frame = view.layer.bounds
previewLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill
view.layer.addSublayer(previewLayer)
captureSession.startRunning()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
if (captureSession?.isRunning == false) {
captureSession.startRunning()
}
}
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
if (captureSession?.isRunning == true) {
captureSession.stopRunning()
}
}
private func failed() {
captureSession = nil
scannerDelegate?.failedToScanner(self)
}
private func didFind(code: String) {
scannerDelegate?.scanner(self, didDiscoverCode: code)
}
override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
return true
}
override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
return .portrait
}
// MARK: AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate
func metadataOutput(_ output: AVCaptureMetadataOutput, didOutput metadataObjects: [AVMetadataObject], from connection: AVCaptureConnection) {
captureSession.stopRunning()
if let metadataObject = metadataObjects.first {
guard let readableObject = metadataObject as? AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject else { return }
guard let stringValue = readableObject.stringValue else { return }
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(SystemSoundID(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate))
didFind(code: stringValue)
}
}
}
When you want to scan something, your calling view controller could adopt the protocol...
extension ViewController: ScannerDelegate {
func failedToScanner(_ controller: ScannerViewController) {
controller.dismiss(animated: true) {
let ac = UIAlertController(title: "Scanning not supported", message: "Your device does not support scanning a code from an item. Please use a device with a camera.", preferredStyle: .alert)
ac.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default))
self.present(ac, animated: true)
}
}
func scanner(_ controller: ScannerViewController, didDiscoverCode code: String) {
codeLabel.text = code
controller.dismiss(animated: true)
}
}
and when you wanted to present the scanner view controller, you would simply set the view controller as the delegate...
let controller = ScannerViewController()
controller.scannerDelegate = self
present(controller, animated: true)
The great thing about this is, you could easily reject the code if you weren't interested in simply by modifying the delegate workflow

SwiftUI Game Center authentication doesn't prompt user to login

I have the below code to authenticate a local player in Game Center in my SwiftUI app. I want Game Center to prompt user to login if the player is not already login in but this doesn't happen.
class AppSettings: UINavigationController {
func authenticateUser() {
let localPlayer = GKLocalPlayer.local
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = { vc, error in
guard error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "")
return
}
}
}
}
What could be the problem? I also read about using UIViewControllerRepresentable somewhere in my class to integrate UIKit's ViewController into SwiftUI but I don't understand how I can use it.
Can someone help me out?
I didn't get anyone to answer my question correctly and after days of digging I found a solution. So I had to use the UIKit implementation like below and create a wrapper around it using UIViewControllerRepresentable in the GameCenterManager Struct. After that all I had to do was call GameCenterManager() inside my SwiftUI view in a ZStack and the job is done!
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
import GameKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
authenticateUser()
}
let localPlayer = GKLocalPlayer.local
func authenticateUser() {
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = { vc, error in
guard error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "")
return
}
if vc != nil {
self.present(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {
GKAccessPoint.shared.location = .bottomLeading
GKAccessPoint.shared.showHighlights = true
GKAccessPoint.shared.isActive = self.localPlayer.isAuthenticated
// Fallback on earlier versions
}
}
}
}
struct GameCenterManager: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<GameCenterManager>) -> ViewController {
let viewController = ViewController()
return viewController
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: ViewController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<GameCenterManager>) {
}
}
The authenticateHandler returns a UIViewController as well which you're not using:
#available(iOS 6.0, *)
open var authenticateHandler: ((UIViewController?, Error?) -> Void)?
You need to present it:
class AppSettings: UINavigationController {
func authenticateUser() {
let localPlayer = GKLocalPlayer.local
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = { vc, error in
guard error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "")
return
}
if let vc = vc {
self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
}

How do I pass a scanned barcode ID from first view controller to second View Controller's UILabel?

This is the barcode scanning tutorial I used in my program, so that you have a lot more context when you read my code: Link
Here is what my program does so far: Essentially, when I scan an item's barcode with my phone, the UIAlert pops up with the barcode ID displayed and a button prompting the user to open the "Results" page. This is all fine and good, but how do I pass that same scanned barcode ID into a label on the Result's page? I have been stuck on this for 2 days now, even though it seems like such an easy task.
Any help is much appreciated <3

Analysis_ViewController.swift (second view controller) ->
Right now, the forKey: has been hard-coded to item ID 8710908501708 because I have no idea how to actually pass camera-scanned ID's into the second View Controller :/
import UIKit
class Analysis_ViewController: UIViewController
{
#IBOutlet weak var productTitle: UILabel!
func getData()
{
let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource:"ProductCatalog", ofType: "plist")
let dict:NSDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path!)!
if (dict.object(forKey: "8710908501708" as Any) != nil)
{
if let levelDict:[String : Any] = dict.object(forKey: "8710908501708" as Any) as? [String : Any]
{
// use a for loop to iterate through all the keys and values in side the "Levels" dictionary
for (key, value) in levelDict
{
// if we find a key named whatever we care about, we can print out the value
if (key == "name")
{
productTitle.text = (value as! String)
}
}
}
}
}
// listing the better options that are safer in comparison to the scanned product image
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
getData()
}
}
Do you have a variable to hold the scanned ID in your view controllers? If not, you can add var itemID: String? to both Scanner_ViewController and Analysis_ViewController.
Then in your func where you get the scanned code, you can set it to the variable.
func scanCompleted(withCode code: String) {
print(code)
itemID = code // Saves the scanned code to your var
showAlert_Success(withTitle: (code))
}
For passing data to another view controller via segue, you might want to look into this UIViewController method for segues: documentation here. This answer also might help.
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == "toAnalysisPage" {
if let viewController = segue.destination as? Analysis_ViewController {
viewController.itemID = itemID
}
}
}

AVCaptureMetadataObjectDelegate not receiving callback

My QR scanner Code looks like
import UIKit

.addOutputToSessionForMetaData()
self.cameraSource!.setMetadataObjects(metaObjects: [.qr], delegate: self as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate)
} catch let err as NSError {

self.cameraSource = nil

return self

return self

extension QRScanner : AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate {
func metadataOutput(_ output: AVCaptureMetadataOutput, didOutput metadataObjects: [AVMetadataObject], from connection: AVCaptureConnection) {
print("Delegate called")
if metadataObjects.count == 0 {
self.delegate?.scannedData("No Data")
} else {
let metadataObj = metadataObjects[0] as! AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject
if metadataObj.type == AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.qr {
if metadataObj.stringValue != nil {
print("Scanner Getting data: \(metadataObj.stringValue!)")
self.delegate?.scannedData(metadataObj.stringValue!)
}
}
}
}
}
I have implemented the QRScannerDelegate in my ViewController but I am not getting anything in there. Moreover I am not getting callback inside AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate even.
I tried passing the ViewController instance as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate then I was getting callback with the scanned info.
So My question is why is this happening?
1) When I am passing normal class as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate I am not getting callback. But.
2) Whe I am passing UIViewController instance as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate then I am able to get callback.
UPDATE
This is how I am calling prepareCamera from my View Controller
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
do {
try QRScanner().prepareCamera(delegate: self)
.initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity: .resizeAspectFill, orientation: .portrait)
.addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView: self.qrScannerImageView)
.startSession()
} catch {
print("Some Camera Error")
}
self.createOverlay()
}
Its hard to say for sure without knowing how you called prepareCamera as this is what triggers setMetadataObjectsDelegate but to me it looks like you may not be keeping a strong reference to QRScanner in your ViewController (instantiating it as in instance variable) Which could explain why the callback is getting hit when your ViewController is your AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate as the ViewController is still in memory.
It's also worth noting that if the ViewController is your QRScannerDelegate you will want to define delegate as weak var delegate : QRScannerDelegate? to prevent a memory leak.
EDIT:
Change
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
do {
try QRScanner().prepareCamera(delegate: self)
.initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity: .resizeAspectFill, orientation: .portrait)
.addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView: self.qrScannerImageView)
.startSession()
} catch {
print("Some Camera Error")
}
self.createOverlay()
}
to
var qrScanner = QRScanner()
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
do {
try self.qrScanner.prepareCamera(delegate: self)
.initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity: .resizeAspectFill, orientation: .portrait)
.addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView: self.qrScannerImageView)
.startSession()
} catch {
print("Some Camera Error")
}
self.createOverlay()
}
and change
protocol QRScannerDelegate {
func scannedData(_ scannedString : String)
}
to
protocol QRScannerDelegate: class {
func scannedData(_ scannedString : String)
}
To Allow a weak delegate
AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate is tough, but you can do some really cool stuff with it! So keep at it.
I pulled some QRScanner code I wrote a while ago and put it into a gist for you if you want to check it out. Its a bit more stripped down than what you have, but you may find it helpful.

How to put GameCenter on application with swift?

I made a game using SpriteKit and Xcode 7 beta. I tried to add GameCenter and Leaderboard but the problem is that the score in the leaderboard won't change (HighScore doesn't upload to GameCenter), It stay 0 all the time and I don't know how to fix it. I'm using 2 different files: GameViewController.swift, and PointsLabel.swift
GameViewController.swift:
import GameKit
class GameViewController: UIViewController,UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, GKGameCenterControllerDelegate {
var score: PointsLabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//initiate gamecenter
func authenticateLocalPlayer(){
let localPlayer = GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer()
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = {(GameViewController, error) -> Void in
if (GameViewController != nil) {
self.presentViewController(GameViewController!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else {
print((GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().authenticated))
}
}
}
}
#IBAction func leaderboard(sender: UIButton) {
saveHighscore(score)
showLeader()
}
//send high score to leaderboard
func saveHighscore(score:Int) {
//check if user is signed in
if GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().authenticated {
let scoreReporter = GKScore(leaderboardIdentifier: "Leaderboard_01")
scoreReporter.value = Int64(score)
let scoreArray: [GKScore] = [scoreReporter]
GKScore.reportScores(scoreArray, withCompletionHandler: {error -> Void in
if error != nil {
print("error")
}
})
}
}
//shows leaderboard screen

There is an Error in this file:
Cannot invoke 'saveHighscore' with an argument list of type '(PointsLabel!)'
on code:
#IBAction func leaderboard(sender: UIButton) {
saveHighscore(score) //<- Here is Error
showLeader()
}
PointsLabel.swift:
import Foundation
import UIKit
import SpriteKit
class PointsLabel: SKLabelNode {
var score:Int = 0
init(num: Int) {
super.init()
fontColor = UIColor.blackColor()
fontSize = 30.0
score = num
text = "\(num)"
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func increment() {
score++
text = "\(score)"
}
func setTo(num: Int) {
self.score = num
text = "\(self.score)"
}
}
I don't know how to fix it!
Your score variable is of type PointsLabel but your saveHighscore function expects an Int as parameter.
Looking at your code, the variable score will be an instance of PointsLabel so I guess you could use the score property of your instanciated class, which is an Int (the fact that you used "score" as a name for both variables is confusing. I suggest changing names to make them more explicit.).
#IBAction func leaderboard(sender: UIButton) {
saveHighscore(score.score)
showLeader()
}
