[iOS] Social.localUser.ID returns GameCenterUsersID instead of the new GamePlayerID and TeamPlayerID

iOS

-

Apple at WWDC 2019 announced that they will replace PlayerID with two new identifiers - TeamPlayerID and GamePlayerID
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/615/

Using the new GamePlayerID and TeamPlayerID is required from Apple in the new Apple Arcade, so it would be nice to have it supported in the GameCenterPlatform integration in the Social API because Customers are using Social.localUser.ID for saving Players progress on their Server.

Notes:
- More info here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/apple-deprecating-gamecenter-playerid-property.711089/

Reproduced on Unity 2017.4.0f1, 2017.4.31f1, 2018.3.14f1, 2018.4.6f1, 2019.1.14f1, 2019.2.1f1 and 2019.3.0a12

    Not sure the GameIDs would work the same way or not. As the server store the data for multiple IDs, chances are the data might get lost on migration. Anyways would be updating about this on the website. <a href="http://gamenvoy.com">http://gamenvoy.com</a>

    Voting to back port this fix for 2019.2 /2019.3 2019.4.
    Alternatively, please in future abstract this engine architecture Social wrapper into a package so we can update this with Apple's changes instead of having to go external for something as trivial as returning a different string identifier (that is a mandatory requirement for newer apple platform games).
