android - Do Google Play leaderboards authenticate data being sent? -

i want integrate leaderboard android game. undecided using own server or using google's leaderboards. 1 thing tilt preference whether or not google scheme authenticates scores beingness sent. don't want leaderboard id (or other data) , send false scores board. if create own scheme (e.g. in php) can @ to the lowest degree set method authenticate scores beingness sent server. e.g. using hashing system.

so there info how google authenticates info beingness send apps?

there no server-side score validation.

your game can attach metadata each submission, (or script) need poll leaderboard , manually remove bogus entries. see google play game services management tools.

(i've used metadata in word game attaching anti-tamper hash other info user did. haven't caught bogus hash-mismatched submissions, handy way see top-scoring players doing.)
