First Question:
Since Google Play Game Services for Android is suppose to be the answer for Apple's Game Center, when or will TGC implement it into AppGameKit?

Second Question:
Now, is it possible to use the Google Play Game Services API in Tier 2 ?

Third Question:
Has anyone ever used any Third Party API successfully when using AppGameKit Tier 2?

You should be able to by switching some code to and from T1. If that's even possible. There are probably advanced ways too that deal with linking.

You'd have to tinker with the AGKHelper.java file a bit to accomplish this. If you're using T1 then you'd need to find a command that you aren't using to transmit data to AGKHelper.java. For example, you could use SetAdmobDetails to actually send data to what is currently coded for admob, but you'd need to alter it in the java file to actually use the Google play Game Services.
In T2 it would be "easier" since you could write your own commands that would set the data in AGKHelper.java (or whatever activity you wanted to use).
With all that said, you might want to look into using the web API. You'll probably still need to put some stuff in the java files to set up your app (like what is done for IAP). But you can then use the web API to actually send data to Google Play Game Services. This is a lot like how push is done. Should be pretty doable and I'll be looking into it myself. Probably will take me a few months as we're focusing on optimization right now, but I'll try to report back when I've accomplished something.

Thanks! Naphier.

I just wanted to make sure I was wasting my time trying to do something that wasn't possible.

Understandable. The more I dig in to the java and get answers from Paul the more i understand there's not really any limitations. It's just certain things are not very easy. If you end up getting Google Game Services implemented let me know how you did it. Also if you get stuck along the way make sure to comment here and I'll do what I can to help
