My Game Center app is not connecting to the Game Center server.
Have tried:
- Hard reset of phone.
- Reset of network settings.
- Reset of all phone settings.
- Checked Apple ID, the Apple ID is correct, & the password is correct.
- Time & Date set correctly, automatically, with location services on.
No fix as of yet. Any tips?

Ask the app developer.
The Game Centre is a default app made by apple. It's integrated into iOS7. (same as Newsstand, Safari, Photos etc)
Yes but it's the games developer that uses those API's.
Well I'm having the problem logging into the Game Center app, not an issue with a seperate app.
I click on Game Center, it askes for my Apple ID, I put it in, and it does not log me in. My Apple ID works with iTunes, & I checked my Apple ID on the Apple ID page but for some reason it comes up with this error message: "Could not connect to game center server"
So to clarify, what is happening is
- Tap on Game Center App
- Type in my Apple ID & Password
- Get message "Could not connect to game center server"
- I have checked my Apple ID, all details are correct.
Also:
- Tap settings
- Tap Game Center
- Type Apple ID & Password
- Get message "Unable to connect to server, the operation couldn't be completed, (Cocoa Error 4097.)"
- I have tried connecting using 3G, & my home Wi-Fi, neither worked.
Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)
Also try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
As I stated in my initial post, I have tried this already to no avail. 😟

Still no different. 😟
Do a restore
I changed my language and tried logging in and it logged in then just switch back to perferred language! 🙂
我找到了最终的解决方案。
我看到有人通过修改系统语言解决了这个问题，因此我意识到原因可能和语言有关。
后来我发现在/var/mobile/Library/GameKit/Data里的文件夹是以语言分类的。
其中只有我曾经尝试设置过的语言，所以我猜测它们是在第一次登陆Game Center时自动下载用于缓存数据的。
我认为导致问题的原因是无效的缓存数据。cocoa无法解析必要的缓存数据而抛出异常信息。
只需将/var/mobile/Library/GameKit/Data重命名为/var/mobile/Library/GameKit/Data1或者直接删除该文 件夹。
然后你就可以成功登录Game Center了！
Firstly, I wanna say that I'm Chinese. I'm not very good at English.
I have found the solution finally.
I saw someone solve the problem by changing the language so I realized that the cause may be related with the language.
And then I found the folders in /var/mobile/Library/GameKit/Data are catagrated by language.
They are only the languages I have tried to set so I guess they may be downloaded automatically to cache data from the Game Center server at the first time when we logged in the Game Center. I thought the cause leading to the problem was the invalid cache data. The cocoa threw the exception information because it cannot parse the cache data required.
Just RENAME /var/mobile/Library/GameKit/Data to /var/mobile/Library/GameKit/Data1 or DELETE it directly.
And then you will log in the Game Center successfully!
If someone can get what I meant, please help me to rewrite the solution in native English in order to help more people. Thank you!
