Shared calendar invitation won’t open for invitee

im trying to share a calendar with my wife. When I send it to the email she uses for her Apple ID it doesn’t work. The first time I send it she doesn’t receive an email. When I resend the invite she receives an email but clicking on the link does nothing. If the link opens in Chrome on her desktop she gets an error that it can’t display the page. If she opens it with Safari she gets a blank page with a little rounded square spinning at the top. If she opens it in safari on her iPhone, she gets the same spinning square and a blank page.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

I had to call Apple support. The issue was that I changed the email address I use as an Apple ID over a year ago. iCloud was trying to send it from the old email address. Fortunately I still had access to it and added the old email address to my contact card. Once the old email was on my contact card it successfully sent the invite.


tl:dr, make sure your old email is on your contact card if you changed Apple ID email addresses in the past.

I am still having problems. I tried everything mentioned here already. My boss wants to share his calendar with me, he invited me from the Calendar app on his iPhone and sent to my work email I tried to open and got the annoying spinning square. Then I asked him to send again to my icloud email, he sent multiple times and I never got that on my iCloud mail. So then I read the info here and tried to get the invitation from my inbox inside my calendar app but there is nothing there.
