Does anyone know of a Cross Platform Multiplayer Solution so that iPhone users can play Android users in a basic Multiplayer Game? Specifically a card game?

I use the Google Play Game Services library created by Informatix for Android.

And I use the GameKit Framework for iOS.

Google Play games services has been deprecated for iOS.

Google Play games services for iOS is deprecated, and is not likely to function as expected. Do not use Google Play games services for iOS in new apps. See the deprecation announcement blog post for more details.

Any assistance on this would be helpful.

I don't quite understand how to use websockets for a multiplayer game. I have a webhosted server that I use to store game scores (leaderboards) online using php.

I've used the Websocket tutorial below to get a web browser and an Android device to talk, but I don't quite get how to store basic game info on a server and send info between 2 separate devices(how to manage devices) using websockets.

Can you provide a little more information or an outline of the exact steps that need to be taken.
