Ask Everyplay if previous upload has completed if game was closed or paused?

Hi guys & gals,

The question:
Is there a way to reconnect or query the Everyplay service (ie... isUploading()) to see if that previous upload has completed for the situations below (extended pausing/game restarting)?

Avoiding the tl;dr.

• Everyplay service implemented.
• Thumbnails / recording / sharing operational on iOS - soon to test on Android
• Recording is activated at the start of a players round.
• Recording is stopped at the end of that round (est round time: 10-60 seconds).
• Player then chooses to share the recording.
• Recording is now manually deactivated until the upload has been completed.
• Upload progress is reported to player between rounds through UploadDidProgress if they continue playing highlighting that recording is currently disabled until the upload has been completed.

The challenges appear if our player switches games/returns to menu & the game is now in the background. Note: If we resume our game from a pause while the upload is still uploading our upload progress will be updated & reset accordingly, this is okay!

• "Everyplay starts to upload in the background even when your users continue playing. Once they've exited the app, it will try to continue the upload for another 10 minutes."

Situation #1: If the upload completes while we are not in game but is paused in the background, UploadDidProgress & UploadDidCompleteDelegate will never be called so the Everyplay service will not be reset.

Situation #2: Player chooses to share & then exits/shuts down the game. On reopening the game the Everyplay upload status is reset. If the upload has not completed & the player enters a round, the recording will now begin to overwrite the previous recording that is now being uploaded in the background.

Hopefully it's a "duh" moment on my behalf...

 

This question has been answered by directly contacting Everyplay Support.

In short, there is no need to manually safeguard recordings.

Big thanks to SP @ Everyplay support!
