I am having issues with Social.localUser.Authenticate()

Originally when I first compiled to iOS7 GameCenter to come up and ask me to login, at the time for whatever reason I just canceled out, but now I keep getting the following error:
Failed to authenticate local user The requested operation has been cancelled or disabled by the user.

Ive read that if you cancel out 3 times that you have to go and login to game center to re-enable it. I’ve tried logging in as the user that I had originally created for the GameCenter sandbox and the starting the game with no luck.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide. I hope there is fix because I am just a few days away from submitting my game…

Any help much appreciated.

Edit: GameCenter works correctly if I run in the simulator, but not on the device.

Edit: I restored my phone to factory iOS 7 and everything is working as expected. Not sure what was going on… Still interested to know if anyone else has run into this though.

I’m running into the same issue. I can’t get Game Center to go back to Sandbox mode now in iOS7.

Same problem… and this is the second time I see that the only solution is to restore the device to factory settings…
I sure hope someone can offer a better solution, as I really don’t want to reset the device.

I have already restored my iphone 4GSM to factory iOS7 and it didn’t work, same error.
And being logged into Game Center from the app or not, doesnt make any difference.

This was working ok previous to cancel out 3 times, I really appreciate any assistence.

EDIT: Fixed. After logging out of Game Center, I needed to reset the device as well (Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings).

Thanks for sharing this tip. I am trying Reset All Settings now, fingers crossed…
EDIT: It worked!

@rolodt, I owe you one!

It worked for me too. What a weird fix.

Is this only for Sandbox mode?
