Having the same issue - and this advice is insufficient. While I can invite my family members the invite seems to spin and hang on their device (all updated to latest ) showing only the cancel button but not the accept invite button. Furthermore, when I invite my wife she appears to become the primary owner while I then then become the resident. That is very strange. Nothing seems to work and I’m unable to connect multiple family members to our home.

I appreciate the response. You have the same identical issue I’m having. I thought that signing out and restarting my iPhone and iPad, and updating to the latest iOS would fix this issue but no luck. It makes no sense that we are unable to invite a family member but can easily invite anyone else. Apple please provide a solution!

I have the same issue. There are other complaints for years about this issue with no solution. Infuriating!
