Summarize your bug From Home - Arena Table I clicked on the Grand Arena link. Instead of bringing up my current Grand Arena that link gave me message telling me I was about to open my game in another unknown user's Game Center Account without that user's knowledge User ID or Password... a serious breach of iOS privacy and security controls. Rather than doing that I cleared and closed my GoH game app. Earlier in August twice a similar error attempted to open in a non-existent level 1 GoH game in a Game Center Account using my game name Vindo which is not my Game Center name.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure... recreate the steps above?
Connection Type Wifi
Please select your region North America
Country USA

‌

I have also reported this to Apple as a Privacy & Security bug because your GoH app bypasses iOS ID and password security for the other user's Game Center account. 

I also opened an in game Help EA bug report case ... but assigned staff keep trying to restart my game or help me get back game progress that I never lost, because I closed the game rather than taking the link's inappropriate redirection out of my account. 

I filed a bug report here that seems to be lost.

    So each of these are further examples of situation triggering the underlying ACCOUNT SWITCHING BUG... 

    I had neither of these initiating conditions.. strong wifi which never dropped .. and not in the part of the game that triggered the BUG for the other user.  What it does show is that the GoH app code has a BUG that bypasses iOS Privacy and Security via Game Center. 

    Your email subject to me was Accepted Solution... in fact neither of the 2 cases shown were solved and the BUG I reported is still active. Maybe check the documentation for the Account Switch message and ID the conditions under which it was intended to be launched. Those should never include switching to a 3rd party user's Game Center account bypassing iOS privacy and security.

    @VindoVici It isn't trying to switch you to a 3rd party user's account. It is trying to switch you to a brand new guest account on your device.

    Nothing about this issue will grant access to another player's account.
