Step 1 Create An App

Create an app on iTunesConnect - http://itunesconnect.apple.com/

Step 2 Create a Leaderboard

Create a leaderboard in app on iTunesConnect

Step 3 Get Leaderboard

Step 4 LeaderboardManager Script

Create a script named – LeaderboardManager

Put this code in it

public class LeaderboardManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    #region GAME_CENTER    
    public static void  AuthenticateToGameCenter()
    {
        #if UNITY_IPHONE
        Social.localUser.Authenticate(success =>
                                      {
            if (success)
            {
                Debug.Log("Authentication successful");
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("Authentication failed");
            }
        });
        #endif
    }
 
    public static void ReportScore(long score, string leaderboardID)
    {
        #if UNITY_IPHONE
        //Debug.Log("Reporting score " + score + " on leaderboard " + leaderboardID);
        Social.ReportScore(score, leaderboardID, success =>
           {
            if (success)
            {
                Debug.Log("Reported score successfully");
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("Failed to report score");
            }
 
            Debug.Log(success ? "Reported score successfully" : "Failed to report score"); Debug.Log("New Score:"+score);  
        });
        #endif
    }
    
    public static void ShowLeaderboard()
    {
        #if UNITY_IPHONE
            Social.ShowLeaderboardUI();
        #endif
    }
    #endregion
}

Step 5 Create Script For UI

Create another Script for UI and use your Leaderboard ID in it.

#region PRIVATE_VARIABLES
 
    string leaderBoardID = "PROVIDE_YOUR_LEADERBOARD_ID_HERE";
 
    #endregion
 
    #region BUTTON_EVENT_HANDLER
 
    /// <summary>
    /// Raises the login event.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="id">Identifier.</param>
    public void OnLogin(string id){
        LeaderboardManager.AuthenticateToGameCenter();
    }
 
    /// <summary>
    /// Raises the show leaderboard event.
    /// </summary>
    public void OnShowLeaderboard(){
        LeaderboardManager.ShowLeaderboard();
    }
 
    /// <summary>
    /// Raises the post score event.
    /// </summary>
    public void OnPostScore(){
        LeaderboardManager.ReportScore(100,leaderBoardID);
    }
 
    #endregion
