Is there a way to delete scores in Apple's Game Center programmatically? - center

I did not find a way in the GameKit documentation to delete a player's score from within my app. Is this possible?

Happily, Apple responded to the fake score problem and now there's a more convenient and efficient solution for managing fake scores compared to sending an e-mail:
Apple Announcement from October 28th, 2013: Manage Game Center Leaderboard Scores
You can now view and manage the top 100 scores and usernames for all
of your Game Center leaderboards. Protect your legitimate players by
signing in to iTunes Connect to delete fake scores or block players
that post fake scores. You can also restore scores and players within
the same time period. To learn more, read the Managing Game Center
Leaderboard Activity section in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.
Unfortunately, there's still no programmatic way to do this, but at least it's something.

As of 9/13/17, the procedure to manage leaderboard scores is:
log in to https://itunesconnect.apple.com
Click on My Apps
Click on app containing target leaderboard
Click on "Features" (top bar)
Click on "Game Center" (side bar)
Under "Group Leaderboards" click "More"
In popup, click "Manage Scores and Players"
It takes a few seconds for the table to populate, so be patient. You can only Remove or Block the top 50 entries.

The link provided in the announcement from Apple on 28th October 2013 no longer works.
However, it is no longer necessary to contact iTunes to delete a leaderboard score or block a user. Instead you
log in to your iTunesConnect account,
open "Manage your Apps"
open the app with the Game Center leaderboards
open "Manage Game Center"
in the "Leaderboards" section you will find the button "Manage scores and players"
Here you can delete a score or block a player

According to this, you'll need to email itunesconnect#apple.com to report cheating to remove scores.

From what I read, some where, you can't - I think it was on Apple's developer site. You have to send them an email to remove the score.
Edit: I was wrong, it's on here, page 3
https://developer.apple.com/ios/download.action?path=/ios/getting_started_with_ios_4.1/gettingstartedwithgamecenter.pdf

Sorry, but no. Once the score is posted directly, it can't be removed unless you contact Apple, but if your app is big enough, you will not have time to remove each score.

Microsoft Translator Hub Portal does not seem to work properly

I am not sure how to review the Evaluation results from Microsoft Translator Hub. The portal does not seem to do anything apart from displaying the evaluation results. I have assigned myself as a reviewer still it does not let me provide any feedback into model.
Adding/removing a reviewer does not seem to work properly. I am able to select the check box time corresponding to reviewer in the Assign reviewer screen once. After that it is disabled.
The members table is empty, it does not display the list of member who are part of a project. And if I try to add a member it seems to send invitation but does not display under the members tab.
I have used Excel to input the translations with source and target texts in each column. It had 30000 rows of translation. Text lengths range from 1 to 10 words.
Any help on this is highly appreciated,
Thanks,
Sarath
You will be able to select the users who have accepted the invitation and logged into the portal once to be able to add them as reviewers for a specific translation.
If you have added them as members for the project, but the reviewers have not yet accepted the invitation, they will not be shown in this list.
The checkbox for assigning a reviewer is disabled because the reviewer has already been added. We will fix the UI issue where the checkbox for an already added user is disabled but it does not show up as having been added.

Windows Dev Center does not show any errors saying app is non-compliant

I've got an e-mail
Your app /app-name/ is non-compliant. We reviewed your app /app-name/
but found some problems. Please remedy the failures listed in our
report and resubmit the updated app.
I can't see any issues here. How can I fix this?
In your first screenshot you see an option under status "view latest certification report".
Click on report and it will show you reason of non-compliant.
If you have received this recently, many of developers have received similar email. If your non-complaint reason is same as below. All you need to do is submit questionnaire ( you don't need to submit another build )
"Content Policies: 11.11 Mandatory Age Ratings
You must obtain an age rating for your app or game when you submit it in Dev Center. You are responsible for accurately completing the rating questionnaire to obtain the appropriate rating.
Locations: Metadata
Notes To Developer
As part of our continuing efforts to improve the Store experience for our joint customers, we notified you several times to complete the Dev Center age rating questionnaire for your apps that did not have ratings based on the questionnaire."

See total downloads of app in Windows Dev Center

I'm trying to see the total amount of downloads of my app in Windows Dev Center but can only choose last 30 days or 3 months for instant report. I can't click the "Historical" selection in the following image.
The most intuitive way would be to go to https://dev.windows.com/analytics/reports/acquisitions?productId=myProductIdGoesHere which shows acquisitions. I can change filters but they only filter on OS version and market.
The "download reports" is found in the Analytics menu and has the following URL.
https://dev.windows.com/analytics/reports/export?productId=9id9id
Got the same question and did some research, I haven't found how to get total amount of downloads, but there is a way to see the data for last year, at least.
Near the top of each page (Acquisitions, Reviews, Health and so on), you can expand Page filters to filter all of the data on this page by date range. The default filter is Last 30 days, but you can expand this up to Last 12 months.
So once I selected "Last 12 month", I've got graphs and digits for the last year.
P.S. I was trying to upload images to make it more clear but got a message "You need at least 10 reputation to post images", sorry about that.
So, this is here right now. Post any other links if you find any better and I'll make sure they get in the "Marked answer"post.

track events such as, who checked-in, who uploaded pictures on a certain venue on Foursquare using AS3

Can you track events such as, who checked-in, who uploaded pictures on a certain venue on Foursquare? Im not only talking about numbers but also the user involved on the event. Is this possible? And by the way, im doing this on AS3, will there be some complications regarding this? Thanks
Unless a user authenticates your app, you cannot access their check-in information. You can, however, retrieve photos for a venue via the venues/VENUE_ID/photos endpoint

Want to display latest foursquare checkin's

I have around 100 locations and would like to display the last five locations that have been checked in on my website and who by...
I'm wondering if this is possible and how to go about it?
You cannot view a user's check-ins without the user authenticating your application.
See: https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/community
However, there is a source of public check-in information. Some users choose to share their checkins with Twitter. These checkins are public (anyone can see the details via the URL), so you could use that in some way.
Hope that helps
