2 Appleids on new iPad

I set up a friend's iPad with her new Appleid and password. I used my Appleid and password to download a game not available to her. Now whenever she wants to download an app she must use my password. Any way out of this mess? She has an 8th Gen iPad 2020.

I have set up purchased app sharing for both iPhones. The iPhones both have their own Apple ID. All purchased apps are on my ID. On the other phone, some updates go smoothly, but many others prompt for Apple ID password. Does other user need my PW? How can I correct this issue? Does the family member’s phone ever need to have my password?

App Store asking for another Apple ID Previously both my phone and my wife's phone were linked to the same Apple ID and my wife wanted to change this to link her phone (iPhone 6S) to her Apple ID. Since doing this there is a problem in downloading some app updates from the App Store using my wife's Apple ID. To update these apps I need to log her phone out of her Apple ID and reconnect her phone to my Apple ID. How can one fix this so that all app updates can be downloaded from the App Store using her Apple ID?

Apps are not transferrable.

Apps downloaded with an Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID.

If she want to use her own Apple ID, she must delete the app and download the app using her own Apple ID.

Don't ever share your Apple ID with devices you don't want to use. Please see: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support, then sign in with the proper ID: Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support.

Cheers,
