Archive leaderboards and achievements
You can archive and hide live leaderboards and achievements, which are no longer needed, from users within the Game Center. These can be unarchived at any time.
By archiving leaderboards and achievements, they’ll be removed from all relevant sections of the Game Center’s user interface and when retrieving a GKAchievement and GKLeaderboard.
