iOS 8.4 and Family Sharing issues

[craigw]

Anyone seeing or hearing of issues with iOS8.4 and Family sharing of Apps breaking.

We are starting to get calls from students saying that under 8.4 - previously shared Apps are no longer shared and must be bought from the Apps store.

Starting to dig, but certainly seems like something has gone awry.

iOS 8.4 Quietly Disables Home Sharing for Music

 

I know this was an issue, its been disabled "for now" it appears.

 

Might be tied in with that ?

This just started happening to my daughter and husband's iPads today. I'm the main account holder. We aren't near a computer to do any backup and ,y daughter is freaking out as she can't open her Minecraft PE.

Have done a google and it looks like they might show if you sign out and then back in to the itunes store.

My daughter is happy once again!! Thanks Elsie!

 

I upgraded my own iPad to the new iOS, I signed out of all of our ITunes at the same time...when I tried just signing out my daughters iTunes that didn't work. I signed my daughter's account back in at the "Purchased" section of the App Store.
