Create gamecircle account

Hi, I have been searching the net for a couple of hours and going through all amazon applications I have managed to install on my Android device, but I have not been able to create a GameCircle account so I can't test any GameCircle functionality in my game. Is it even possible for android users to create a GameCircle account? If so, how? Do I need any special apps installed on the device? I have only found this thread with the same issue: https://forums.developer.amazon.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=3669&tstart=15 and it is also still unanswered. Any help would be appreciated! Cheers, Markus

Had the same complaint. It's REALLY not clear for someone starting out how to do this from any of the docs. Once I integrated the gamecircle UI into my game, you can manage your accounts from it. There is a 'Your Profile' section hidden away that allows you to sign in through the web. One important caveat, if you've just set up your game configuration online, the website that allows you to log in does seem to exist right away. I'm guessing it takes a day for the site to be generated.

I have managed to get it running now. After I found the adb logcat, I managed to find out that I had missed updating my manifest with the content from: https://developer.amazon.com/appsandservices/apis/engage/gamecircle/docs/initialize-android . Then you can create your account from the login-screen! So many problems when your initial problem is that you know nothing about the platform you are writing your game to ;) Cheers, Markus

Please make sure below element is added under com.amazon.identity.auth.device.authorization.AuthorizationActivity as intent-filter Also, below receiver is required to work auth flow correctly. Every Amazon account that is logged into Kindle devices or App store for non amazon devices are associated with a GameCircle profile. You do not need to create a separate login for GameCircle. If your app is running on Amazon devices, the user should be detected automatically. If the app is running on no amazon devices, you can login to GameCircle by using your amazon account's credential.
