GKMatchmaker findMatchForRequest invite never received

Question

I\'m trying to invite nearby players to a match, but the invite is either never sent or never received.

GKMatchMaker startBrowsingForNearbyPlayersWithHandler works

Answer 1

I know this an older post, but I ran across it when trying to establish a connection between several app instances over the internet. I believe the part you're missing is that after registering for the listener, you need to receive the connected status with

    - (void)match:(GKMatch *)match
        player:(GKPlayer *)player
        didChangeConnectionState:(GKPlayerConnectionState)state
 {
     NSLog(@">>> did change state");

     if (state == GKPlayerStateConnected)
     {
         NSLog(@">>>> match:%@ did change to Connected for player %@ ",match, player.displayName);

     }
   else if (state == GKPlayerStateDisconnected)
   {
    NSLog(@">>>> match:%@ disconnected for player %@ ",match, player.displayName);
   }

I find the match has 0 players when the completionHandler is called from findMatchForRequest:, but that I can successfully use the GKMatch and GKPlayer as returned in didChangeConnectionState: Hope that helps someone who reads this long after the OP.
