I am trying to implement a chat feature in a turn-based match using GameKit.

I am trying to implement a chat feature in a turn-based match using GameKit. I think I can send the messages by calling [match endTurnWithNextParticipant:match.currentParticipant matchData:dataWithUpdatedChat completionHandler:...]

In other words, when I want to send a chat message, I end the current player’s turn so that the data gets sent to Game Center, but then the current player is next to act so he can proceed normally.

However, I have no way of updating the match data if it is not the current player’s turn. Is there any way to do this?

    No, there is no way to do it. If there was it would be prone to race conditions between players. You need another service to implement a chat feature. Another option is to implement a limited chat in the game, for example an option to enter a message when ending the turn.
