Account Management - Link Game Center Account
Links the Game Center account associated with the provided Game Center ID to the user's PlayFab account. Logging in with a Game Center ID is insecure if you do not include the optional PublicKeyUrl, Salt, Signature, and Timestamp parameters in this request. It is recommended you require these parameters on all Game Center calls by going to the Apple Add-ons page in the PlayFab Game Manager and enabling the 'Require secure authentication only for this app' option.
