Windows 10: Minecraft Win10 edition - iPad players can no longer connect to PC game but Xbox users can

Having played Minecraft Win10 Edition with a local map for many months, and just recently iPad users can no longer join our local map/game. Xbox users can join.


iPad users are logged into Xbox Live as normal.

PC user/host can see the iPad users in Minecraft as logged in.

Sending an invite to iPad users from Minecraft seems successful.

iPad users never get the invitation in their Minecraft game.


This used to work perfectly in the past with iPad users joining a PC hosted game.

No changes have occurred with Firewall settings, or Antivirus.

Rebooting PC and restarting iPads do not help.

Xbox users can join without any problems.

Minecraft Win10 Edition

Hi Griffin,

If you have the previous version of Minecraft, you may download its latest version for free. Click this

link to download the game.

You'll be asked to enter a game code. If you don't have the code, kindly perform the following steps:

• Sign in with your Mojang account.
• Under Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, select the link to request a code. The Windows 10 Store will open.
  
  Note: You'll need to sign in to or create a Microsoft account. If you sign in, use the Microsoft account you use to sign in to your Xbox account.
• If you're running Windows 10, you'll be able to download the game right after redeeming your code. If you're running an earlier operating system, you'll need to come back to the Windows Store once you're running Windows 10.
  

Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to further assist you.

 

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition not connecting to my XBOX Live account.

I've already looked up my problem and found a list of reasons why my Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft on the PC wasn't connecting to my XBOX Live account. I found out that my purchase of the game wasn't through my Microsoft account, which was one of the
reasons for me not connecting to XBOX Live was. Whenever I click sign into XBOX Live in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, it comes up with a little gray box for about 2-3 seconds and then cuts out and does nothing. It says something about a making a free XBOX
Live account, so I don't understand why I'd have even needed to purchase it through my PC's Microsoft account. That's strange.
