game center - endTurnWithNextParticipants doesn't trigger receivedTurnEventForMatch after update to iOS 8.3 and swift 1.2

Question

Has anyone noticed any changes to turn based match notifications since updating to iOS8.3? In my app when I call endTurnWithNextParticipants, prior to the upgrade, this was resulting in a notification being sent to the opponent which would trigger a receivedTurnEventForMatch being invoked on their device but this no longer is the case. When the opponent terminates the app and restarts it they can see it is their turn so the match in game centre was correctly updated with the order of participation but this doesn't seem to take effect dynamically any more.

Anybody else see this? I'm hoping it's just a temporary glitch in game centre sandbox environment.

I have raised a bug report with apple to see if it actually is a bug or if there is some undocumented behavioural changes in iOS8.3 we need to know about.

I have the same problem.. I have multiple devices, and device with 8.3 do not trigger receivedTurnEventForMatch event, but when is application in background then banner notification about turn will appear as usual. Problem is only in case when application is in foreground.

On the other hand, devices with 8.2 or 8.1.3 works well in any case. So this is certainly caused by 8.3. Also device with 8.3 is in Xcode marked as ineligible. Does it happen to you too?
