My game supports both GameCenter, setting up a custom host and local games against bots. To log in to GameCenter and be able to handle invitations from other players, I set GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler after the app finished loading. But it seems that whenever I’m disconnected from the internet for more than 24 hours, setting GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler causes the whole window to be obfuscated by an alert telling me that I have no internet connection.
When this happens, if I connect to the internet and disconnect again, the alert is not shown anymore.
This is a huge problem because the alert prevents a user from using any other feature of the app unrelated to GameCenter, since there's no way to dismiss it.
Is this really intended behaviour or how is a user supposed to continue using the app that supports GameCenter and does not rely on it, while being disconnected from the internet?
