We have family sharing set up on our daughter's iPad. The "ask to buy" switch is on under iCloud settings. When she tries to buy it on her iPad, she touches the button "ask" but I do not receive any notification on any of my devices. My iPad and iPhone both have family sharing set up. And all of our devices are running the most current version of iOs.
I've been having this same exact problem for months. I am the organizer for my family and I don't receive the notifications after my daughter "asks" to buy an app. I occasionally receive the request on my Macbook, but never on my iPhone. My wife, however, who is also in the family as a parent/guardian, receives all of the ask to buy notifications on her iPhone when my daughter "asks". Anyone else figured out a fix to this problem yet? I can't find the answer anywhere.
Did you ever get a solution for this issue?
Nope. I went to the Genius Bar yesterday and they couldn't help me either. I had all 3 iPhones there (mine, my wife's, and my daughter's) to show them and replicate the problem. My next step is to call Apple tech support and see what they have to say about it.
I talked to a client of mine who has worked for Apple and he says that most iCloud issues have to be discussed with tech support. Once I contact them, I will update my findings..........

Family sharing is not "asking permission"
