`Leaderboard` tab not showing in Google Play Games while `Achievements` tab is there

I have enabled and added a leaderboard and achievements to my game. The leaderboard tab is not being displayed in Google Play Games, but the achievement tab is. I've read that the app needs to gain enough attention? What does that mean exactly? And how am I supposed to test this feature?

This is an example from the web

It shows the achievements tab, but as you can see, to the right, is a Leaderboards tab.

By "the app needs to gain enough attention", it means that your app should reach a certain amount of users. Referencing through the documentation there is no part that says that it should be the case in order for the Leaderboards tab to show up. What is in the documentation is that after adding the Leaderboard and publishing it correctly it should appear and should be readily available. Please check if for possible oversight. Good luck! – gerardnimo
@gerardnimo Thank you. It still doesn't show up. It also doesn't display the Features section in the About tab. – Z0q
@Z0q, i am going to play devil advocates here. have you check the name of your achievement board is 100% the same? (no capitals difference, etc). Google service system is case sensitive. I had something similar happening to me. It has nothing to do with the attention as per my game has the leader-board from the beginning (and I only had 10 users). – Kanekotic
@Kanekotic Thank you for your comment. Where do I need to check the name? I use the ID of the leaderboard in my code from the Get resources option. The Google Play Games Developer Console states that there are 13 scores posted to the leaderboard, but it is still not visible in Google Play Games on my Android phone. – Z0q

For your question it seems that you are trying to Find LeaderBoard in achievement Tab

LeaderBoard and Achievement are not shown Simultaneously u need to show LeaderBoard differently by calling

startActivityForResult(Games.Leaderboards.getLeaderboardIntent(
                getApiClient(), getResources().getString(
                        **R.string.your_leaderboard_id**)), REQUEST_LEADERBOARDS);

and For achievement it is

startActivityForResult(Games.Achievements.getAchievementsIntent(
                        getApiClient()), REQUEST_ACHIEVEMENTS);

I contacted Google support directly. They told me that my app did not pass their threshold of Google Play Games users. They decided to keep it a secret where the threshold is.
