There are 19 achievements that it is possible to get in the game, but not all of them are visible before they are unlocked. Here is the complete list, compiled by me, rail16 and adrammelech:

Energy Efficient - Short circuited the lasers
Disappearing Act - Short circuited the cameras
Grounded - Short circuited the electrical bars
Open Sesame - Raised bars and entered the safe
Payday - Collected your reward for cracking the safe
One of Us - Logged in as a MacHeist agent
Backstabbed - Et tu, Brute?
Extraction Mystery - Reverse-engineer sets of scrambled blocks to extract 15 chips
Zen Mastery - Optimize feng shui in all 15 sand gardens
3 Laws Mastery - Complete 15 maintenance jobs without your robot turning on you
Electrician Mastery - Untangle and connect all 15 sets of electrical wiring
OCD - Complete all levels
5 Finger Discount - Collected your second reward (thanks, adrammelech!)
Quick Fingers - Solved a puzzle within 3 seconds (thanks, rail16!)
Jack of All Trades - Solved at least 3 puzzles of each puzzle type
Master of None - Reset a puzzle at least 10 times before solving it
Convoluted - Solved a puzzle with over 100 moves
Regular - If you are one, you'll unlock this
Night Owl - Solved 3 puzzles between midnight and 5AM

All the achievements listed here are fairly self-explanatory, except for 'Regular', which appears to just unlock randomly if you load the app often enough (a rather frustrating experience). If you completed every puzzle before getting 'Master of None' or 'Convoluted', you can always load up a completed puzzle and get the achievement.

For some reason the Heist App isnt showing up as a Game Center game for me -  I see where there seems to be a button in the app when you click the settings gear, but it doesnt actually do anything. 

I'm trying to figure out how many of the achievements i've completed (i've beaten all the puzzles) but it doesnt seem to want to let me see what i've done in the app or in the game center.

help?

Thanks for your help, adrammelech, that is awesome!

And no, I haven't gotten that one. Load up the app a bunch of times in a row, see if that works? If not, I have no idea how to get it...

It takes time and regular attendance to become a regular some place - I would say it's a safe bet that the same is true here.

I also can't get the GameCenter to work for me.  I finished the game, but the GameCenter icon is still not clickable inside the Heist-App.  Plus, it doesn't register in the GameCenter app.

Try opening Game Center from your Home Screen first, and make sure you're signed in and have agreed to the latest EULA.

But you can see your Game Center achievements for other applications, correct?
Would you create a post in Support Desk just to keep the discussions separate?

This is my guess.  Launch the app often enough (maybe over a few days) and you'll become a "regular".  Someone post if they get it!

19 sounds wired - 20 would be more typical. Has anyone tried playing the whole game twice, using a new install and same login? Maybe there is an 'addicted' or 'nice to see you again' award...

Game Center apps tell you how many achievements are possible, even if not all of them are visible.

Night Owl - Solved 3 puzzles between midnight and 5AM

Does this have to be done in USA time? I solved a lot more than 3 in the early hours this morning Brit time.

I got it in the UK between midnight and 5AM BST, so I'd presume not. I'm having trouble getting the Regular achievement though, which is odd.

I tried this with a few puzzles, but I think it needs to be the same puzzle three days in a row...?

I got the news of the app. on the24th just before midnight. It would have been the following day before I started solving the puzzles so for me it's only been 2 days so far.

I'll try both methods tonight and report back.

So, if someone has already solved all the puzzles, can they still play the puzzles over again to get Regular and Night Owl?

Is there any way of viewing my achievements in-game without having 'Game Centre'
It's not compatible with my 3G even though (thankfully) 'The Heist' app is.

Any clues? Directorate?

Do you have any puzzles that aren't lit up or X'd out, but have the check on them anyway? I found that sometimes the game wouldn't record a completed puzzle properly, and you had to go back and re-do it to get the "full" completion, instead of just the check mark and lightning points.

Yes, I had one of those, re-completed it but the acheavement doesn't kick in.. hmm
Don't know what might be missing out. I still have to get regular and night owl... do I need those first?

For some reason I didn't get the "Backstabbed" achievement, but I got all the others. My game crashed when the vault was unlocked, right as the call came in. It doesn't even show up as an incomplete achievement. sad

I'd like to point out in OCD-like fashion that the following is not true:

"Plus we just wanted to make the total value of this entertainment package worth $10 (Eets) with this neatly wiping out the initial ticket cost of 99¢. Whoever said the cake is a lie? Have your free cake and eat it too!"

Total loot value is $10.98. Stamping out the initial cost leaves us with a total of $9.99, which ≠ $10!

I still haven't got the regular achievement and I'm farily sure I opened the app and solved some puzzles every day since the app got released, so I should have got it by now? More people have this issue?

Had no problems with the night owl btw, just did it after 0:00 Dutch local time.
