Sharing HomeKit problem - Apple ID is not registered with iCloud problem

On last Thursday we shared a HomeKit (host is my wife's iPad) to my wife's sister. From that moment, I lost connection with iPad - Home App on my iPhone was showing an error connecting to it. So, I removed my my account from guests, then her sister's. Now, my wife can't invite anyone - Home App is always telling that this Apple ID is not registered with iCloud.

I tried:

- to restart all devices

- log-out and log-in to iCloud on all devices

- reinstall Home App on all devices

- disable and enable contacts sync

- to send invitation from “guest” HomeKit to the “host” HomeKit - ironically same problem - Apple ID is not registered with iCloud

Nothing works. Now, only my wife can use HomeKit devices. What is going on or what am I doing wrong ?

iPad Mini Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2

Upgraded all iOS devices to 11.2.1 and also my Apple TV 4. Everything works fine again for me and also my invitees. Home crises over christmas prevented. :-)

Mine just started working for my wife even though I did the upgrades a couple days ago. Must be a server side switch Apple hand to do

Agreed. Had the problem, upgraded iOS on TV gen4, tried restarting all devices... same issue... I cannot add anyone in my Family Share, so they are valid iCould accounts...

Even after the update to 11.2.1 I still get the error.

Yes me did you manage to resolve this ?

Same problem here. Updated my wife’s iPad and iPhone along with my iPad and iPhone to 11.2.1 and still broke.

I have a watch and a MacBook Pro and wonder if they need updating too (will try now).

If only it worked for me.

I will try this tonight. Hope it works. It’s desperation at this point.

Updated today to 11.2.1. Nothing fixed (:

I am waiting for new update. Fingers crossed it's tomorrow or Wednesday. I know Zac Hall from 9to5mac was also having this issue.

This unfortunately did not work. For a minute my wife’s phone found the Apple TV and within a few minutes it said “no hubs found”

Dec 19, 2017 11:24 AM in response to Lazarovbg

i tried 11.2.1 last night on all devices and it did not work.. - probably because i was not able to roll back the apple TV which was on 11.2.5
