The problem is strange. My system version is IOS7. Everything goes fine on ios7 simulator. However, when I try authenticate on my iphone, the error in the callback block is always "GkErrorCanceled: the requested operation has been canceled or disabled by the user".
Even if I've already logged in game center, the error still pops.
I tried google the problem, and find someone on stackoverflow had conquered the issue:
iPhone Simulator 6.0 not able to connect to gamecenter in sandbox mode.
I tried following the way, however, it didn't work for me. I don't know if I did anything wrong.
Could some one give me a more detailed solution on this issue?
Thanks a lot!

I think you have cancel game center login dialog 3 times. Same thing is happening for me too – Rahul Patel Sep 24 '13 at 07:59

1You just need to go to settings -> login to game center. -> launch your app. (you'll see the login banner on app launch). go to settings again -> logout from game center -> launch your app -> you'll be able see the game center login =). – user1872384 Mar 20 '14 at 06:45

Update: This issue appears to happen in sandbox only.
Got this problem too, and here what I've figured out:
GameCenter shows prompt for login only a few times (3-5), if all prompts were canceled - GameCenter becomes disabled for this app.
In iOS 7 there is a problem: GameCenter disabled state remains even if you login into the GameCenter app itself - application will still receive kind of this error:
error: Error Domain=GKErrorDomain Code=2 GkErrorCanceled: the requested operation has been canceled or disabled by the user
There are two workarounds:
First:
- Log out of Game Center through the Settings app.
- Reset all settings
- After the device rebooted, launch app with development build. After launch the GC Login viewController pops up.
Second (this one helped me):
- "Erase All Content And Settings".
- Set up as a new device - do not restore from any backups.
Both workarounds are not a viable option for production - I hope there will be a fix from Apple soon.
Most of the info is from to this discussion.

I also found that when user press disable button, no any event or method fires. Not even authantication block return anything. – Rahul Patel Oct 11 '13 at 04:42

Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
(i read this somewhere but if the user has to do the same its not a good solution) (i did this for a app that i am testing , not a app gone live on the App Store) i tested for a n app from the appstore(not mine) and i couldnt reproduce the problem i mean after i logged back from settings i was logged back in that app.
But for app i am testing, only reseting worked . I just saw a new ios update is available maybe that will fix it .

This works, but keep in mind you need to reenter your wifi password if you aren't connected to a mobile network with your test phone. Otherwise gamecenter won't show up when you run your app. Resetting your phone removes wifi password. – NJGUY Sep 03 '15 at 01:38
