Entity Group Expiration

Do Entity Groups expire any time after they are created, or do they need to be specifically deleted? Is there a need to delete them after a host of a group exits the app?

No, the entity group won’t expire and can serve as long term Clans/Guilds. The entity groups need to be specifically deleted, either using DeleteGroup API or doing it on [GameManager]->[Your Title]->[Groups].

Host leaving group won’t delete the group but leaves a group with remaining members. If there is no remaining members, it will be an empty group. Thus there is a need to delete the group.

Ok, I see. Is there a way to retrieve the group ids of previously created groups that were not deleted yet?

Yes. When a group is created by a player, the player is automatically assigned as a member of the group. You could use ListMembership API to list the groups for the player.

But is there a way to get a list of the groups themselves that have not been deleted yet instead of getting a list of members of a group?
