Social API with multiple social platforms

I will be using a plug in for play services that currently uses the Social API, what I am worried about is the possibility of needing to use the Social API for both play services and game center. How would that work? Would I just keep switching the Social.Active to either one when I use them, or is it impossible to use the Social API with more than one service at the same time?

Im with you - I cannot seem to determine if Im using GPG or GC with Social.etc Docs say that Unity defaults to GC, hence I guess when GPG is namespaced it takes over that role... but want to use both on iOS and like mcdon says is it a case of switching Social.Active to :

Social.Active = (Social.Active as UnityEngine.SocialPlatforms.GameCenter.GameCenterPlatform );

Social.Active = ( Social.Active as GooglePlayGames.PlayGamesPlatform );

Debug.Log (" ACTIVE SOCIAL FRA$$anonymous$$EWOR$$anonymous$$: " + Social.Active );

I tried this but always seems to stick on GC and not actually fire in testing - in fact kicks out and error it cant find the Achievement, even though correctly added to GC iConnect and GPG console. The Debug just gives me this for both instances...

ACTIVE SOCIAL FRA$$anonymous$$EWOR$$anonymous$$: UnityEngine.SocialPlatforms.Local

Since the Unity Services Panels now take care of business I wonder if anyone can help nail this down. $$anonymous$$uch of the docs and tutes seem like they are from before these most recent plugin updates and not much to go on the Unity site - certainly little code examples for social and gamecenter mixed with googleplaygames servies. Any help appreciated thanks.
