iCloud calendar invitations not working (sending or receiving)
I am no longer able to send or receive calendar invitations to iCloud users, and based on browsing the support communities it looks like I am not alone with this issue...
I can create calendar events from any iCloud device and the event syncs fine between all my iCloud devices. However, if I try to invite another iCloud user to an event, he/she does not receive any invite (non iCloud users seem to get email invitations). It makes no difference whether I make the event on my phone, ipad, or computer. Moreover, when another iCloud user sends me an iCal invite, I receive it as an email, not as a notification through my iphone/ipad/or in iCal on my mac.
Everything was working fine until a couple weeks ago. As far as I know, I made zero changes. Everything just stopped working. My primary email address for iCloud is a gmail address. The settings on the icloud-calendar website are checked to "use iCloud for incoming invitations". Checking the apple support communities, it seems like this is a widespread issue.
Responses would be highly appreciated. The lack of any customer support and/or recognition of this issue is very disappointing.
