"This app is no longer shared with you" message in Family Sharing

While I can't 100% confirm I have fixed my issue with "this app is no longer shared with you", (despite trying everything in this thread), I think I'm a step closer.

I'm the owner of the purchasing account in our family. There's another three adults in our family sharing account. When we started seeing "this app is no longer shared with you", it corresponded with a problem when none of us could see each other's purchases in App Store > Updates > Purchases > Family Member's Name.

On a whim, I created a new Child Account for a make-believe daughter via Settings > iCloud > Create An Apple ID For A Child. After a reboot of all of our phones we are able to see each other's purchases and deleting and re-downloading offending apps seems to have fixed them.

It's now 2017 and suddenly, my wife had this same problem. I followed your steps and it worked fine. There were no updates, but I just installed one App from my account, logged out, logged her back in, and all of her Apps worked again with no loss of data. Her 800+ consecutive wins in the Solitaire Daily Challenge are still intact and she's very happy! Thank You!

Did you ever get this question answered? I am having the a similar problem with some apps on my daughter's phone.

I have the same issue, I tried purchase again (which is a free app anyway), still no luck.

I get the App back to work by sign in with my own Apple ID (organizer) inside my partner's iPhone iTunes $ Apps store section.

This old fashion way works better if not considering the Parent/Guardian control ability

Same issue here. I have an iPad that was originally under my AppleID that I moved to another AppleID and added to Family Share. I now get the very same error message and cannot add the application from the App Store. (In this case it's FIND MY FRIENDS and it downloads and then instantly reverts to being available to download again). Find my iPhone is exhibiting the same behavior.

I have this same issue with my sons iPad mini. My wife purchased Pages and I have installed it on my daughters iPad mini, my iPad and it works flawlessly. I have deleted it from his iPad several times and get the same error.

So... I went through and started deleting and reinstalling apps under the new Apple ID (not the one that I use for Family Sharing that was previously on the iPad in question). After I deleted and reinstalled a few apps, namely Pinterest, and 500px, everything seems to be working now.

All apps seem to be working and updating as they should.

I thought about that, but I worried about losing the app data. did you lose any data after deleting?

I did some more trials on another device. Go to your update list and try to update each app one at a time. You will quickly find the ones that are causing problems. And unfortunately you will lose the data from those apps.

Here's how I managed to fix the issue. The issue first appeared after I moved one of my iPads over to my son's iTunes account. From that point onward, every app that was updated got the error "This app is no longer shared with you".

1. I removed all the offending apps. It was pretty much every one of them that was updated post iOS 8.
2. I signed out of the App Store in the Settings > iTunes & App Store settings page.
3. I opened the App Store app. Went to the "Purchases" page and signed in again with my son's Apple ID.

At this point, the app store seems to have realized that I was signed in with a new account and let me "re-buy" the offending apps. I didn't actually have to buy them since they were bought by another account on Family Sharing.

Your work around did not work for me somehow.

Same thing happened to me. All evening I've playing with settings, turning things on and off, deleting the apps and trying to get them again and no go. I then found someone who said they had the same problem on their iPhone but not on their iPad and that restoring their iPhone solved the problem. So, I restored my daughter's iPod Touch through iTunes, and then set it up from back up (I had a back up I just did earlier this evening prior to updating her Touch to iOS 8.0.2 from 7.x) and now I can download the shared apps from the cloud without the "someone has already downloaded this click ok to download for free". And they open without the other error "this app is no longer shared with you".

None of the suggestions are working for me. Anybody found another solution?

II'm having the same problems.
