How to present a modal view in sprite kit?

Question

How can I use Game Center or the GameKit Framework with a Sprite Kit Xcode template? In Sprite kit, it uses Scenes; but normally to view the leaderboards for example you need to "presentModalViewController" but that is not possible in SKView.

Thanks in advance!

Smick pointed me in the right direction for a similar problem I was having. I needed to send a message to the main ViewController from my SKScene. This did it for me:

In your SKScene, import the ViewController

#import "MyViewController.h"

Then send it a message:

[(MyViewController *)self.view.window.rootViewController  myMethod];

You could try creating a method in the ViewController that opens the GameKit view for you, that is triggered from the SKScene. Thanks Smick!
