question

So as shown on the documentation for the API call UpdatePlayerStatistics, i am passing Statistics and Value as parameters. Statistics is the name of the statistics that i set on the playfab platform (Player/Statistics). Since the requirements for the call is "Statistics" for the name and StatisticUpdate for the type, i checked the requirements for StatisticsUpdate and i have to pass the Statistics and Value (String/int). 

 int i = _scoreLabel.text.integerValue;

    UpdateUserStatisticsRequest *request = [UpdateUserStatisticsRequest new];

    NSDictionary *stats = @{ @"Statistics": @{@"StatisticName":@"Stars", @"Value":[NSNumber numberWithInteger:i]}};

    request.UserStatistics = stats;

    [[PlayFabClientAPI GetInstance]

     UpdateUserStatistics:request success:^(UpdateUserStatisticsResult *result, NSObject *userData) {

         NSLog(@"Score OK!");

     } failure:^(PlayFabError *error, NSObject *userData) {

         NSLog(@"Score NON OK!");

         NSLog(@"%@",error.errorMessage);

     } withUserData:nil];

Following is the call used in the deprecated call. Since it s the same process than most of the calls, i just modified the objectForKeys to Statistics instead of UserStatistics so it will match the requested name in the new api call.


-(id)initWithDictionary:(NSDictionary*)properties

{

self = [super init];

if (!self) {

return nil;

}


if ([properties objectForKey:@"Statistics"]){

NSDictionary* member_list = [properties objectForKey:@"Statistics"];

NSMutableDictionary* mutable_storage = [NSMutableDictionary new];

for(NSString* key in member_list){

[mutable_storage setValue:[member_list objectForKey:key] forKey:key];

}self.Statistics = [mutable_storage copy];}



return self;

}

At the end,in the TryIt feature, i just put the Statistics name (Stars) and the error still comes with invalid input parameters.

It sounds like you're saying you're trying to pass the same parameters to UpdatePlayerStatistics that you passed to UpdateUserStatistics, which won't work. The format of the call has changed. Could you please post the code snippet showing how you're making the call to UpdatePlayerStatistics? The code above is, as you point out, for the deprecated UpdateUserStatistics.

int i = _scoreLabel.text.integerValue;

    UpdatePlayerStatisticsRequest *request = [UpdatePlayerStatisticsRequest new];

    NSArray *stats = [@[@"Stars", [NSNumber numberWithInteger:i]] mutableCopy];

    //"Stars" is the name of the Statistic (String)
    //"i" is the Value (int)

    request.Statistics = stats;

    [[PlayFabClientAPI GetInstance]

     UpdatePlayerStatistics:request success:^(UpdatePlayerStatisticsResult *result, NSObject *userData) {

         NSLog(@"%@", result);

         NSLog(@"Score OK!");

     } failure:^(PlayFabError *error, NSObject *userData) {

         

         NSLog(@"Score NON OK!");

         NSLog(@"%@", error.errorMessage);

         

     } withUserData:nil];

//Follows the debug console

2016-11-01 11:58:24.993 CXXXXX[66915:878306] Score NON OK!
2016-11-01 11:58:24.993 CXXXXX[66915:878306] Invalid input parameters

The problem with the code shown is that you're not actually passing the StatisticName or Value as those parameters. You're using the UpdateUserStatistics style, where the contents of UserStatistics was like this:

"UserStatistics": { "Stars": 10 }

The UpdatePlayerStatstics call requires that you specify the StatisticName and Value for each stat being updated, so for the stat above, it should be like this:

"Statistics": [ { "StatisticName": "Stars", "Value": 10 } ]

So, in the TryIt for UpdatePlayerStatistics, you would put this in the Statistics field:

[ { "StatisticName": "Stars", "Value": 10 } ]

Also, I would recommend outputting the whole error, so that you get all the info. In particular, the errorDetails will usually have additional context which will help you to track down issues.

I finally got it to work. My API call updates the Value but it returns a nil as result. The TryIt as well.

To get the update, should i use the GetUserStatistics API call?

//Debug console

Printing description of userData:

<nil>
