Homesharing with iPhone

Hello Jan,

It sounds like your app is closing when attempting to access your library to share. The below article outlines some troubleshooting for when an app quits working on you.

If an app unexpectedly quits, stops respond, or won’t open - Apple Support

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!

Thanks for getting back to us, Jan,

As this is still going on, we would recommend reinstalling the Music app on your iPhone. Please note, that doing this can cause any music downloaded for offline listening to be cleared. The tracks will still be present, but you will need to redownload them to be available without an internet connection.

Here's how to delete the app: Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen - Apple Support

You can then reinstall Music by locating it in the App Store.

Let us know the results!

This is a well-known bug in iOS 13.6 which has not been fixed in 13.7 - see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251599464?answerId=253382422022&page=1 There is no way round it.

It has been reported by many users but Apple have so far ignored us. They don't read these forum posts. Please report on https://www.apple.com/feedback/ although there isn't an obvious category to use. I have put the same complaint on iTunes, Apple Music, iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone feedback, with more hope than expectation

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone not connecting to Home Sharing. I click on Home Sharing on my phone and you seen it loading and when it's completed it quits the app. I deleted the app and it still happens. Now I have to figure how to load my music back on my phone with Catalina.

Anyone else have an idea how to stop the music app on the iPhone to stop quitting when trying to home share?

This issue seems to still be present in iOS14. It may connect once, but every time you try to select a song, it tries to sync with the home library, either fails or looks like it has completed. Then tries again.

It works fine for me on my three devices: iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch, with iOS 14.0

Try restarting computer and iOS device, closing the Music app on iOS and iTunes and re-opening, logging out of and logging back into Apple ID on both (if you haven't already done these)

It actually got fixed with the new IOS update.

But JKane says it isn't working on iOS 14 for him; that's why he posted!
