GKLeaderboard.loadLeaderboards returns empty array
After authenticating the user I'm loading my Game Center leaderboards like this: let leaderboards = try await GKLeaderboard.loadLeaderboards(IDs: [leaderboardID]) This is working fine, but there are times when this just returns an empty array. When I encounter this situation, the array remains empty for several hours when retrying, but then at some point it suddenly starts working again. Is this a known issue? Or am I hitting some kind of quota maybe (as I do it quite often while developing my game)?. Edit: My leaderboards are grouped in sets if that makes any difference here.

How does Game Kit offline leaderboard submission work?
I do not understand how offline leaderboard submission is supposed to work in Game Kit: While the documentation briefly states that offline submission is supported, how is that even possible when you first have to fetch a leaderboard object in order to then call its submitScore function? How can I get the leaderboard object in the first place when offline? Can anyone enlighten me how this works? Or maybe point me to some relevant documentation?

GameKit Turn Based Matches Push Notifications
I'm developing a game that supports GameKit turn based matches. What I don't understand is this: Is tapping on the Game Center notification push messages the only way for the GKTurnBasedEventListener to trigger? What if someone misses the push message (swiping it away by accident or something like that) but still wants to join? Is there some inbox somewhere where the pending messages can be seen or fetched? Also it was mentioned in a very old WWDC video (from 2013, I think that's the latest with information about turn based matches) that the notification also includes a badge for the icon. However, I do not understand how to implement that. Is there any documentation for that?

How does the automatch feature work in Game Kit?
I'm developing a turn based game. When I present the GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController players can opt in for automatch instead of selecting a specific friend as opponent. How exactly does the matching work if a player doesn't specify anything explicitly? Does Game Center send push notifications in a round robin fashion to all friends and the first one to accept is then matched as opponent? Is this documented somewhere?
