I used to be able to connect my iPhone 6 to my daughter's Kindle Fire over our home wireless to play MCPE. Since the 0.15 update to MCPE, I can't seem to connect to my daughter's kindle from my iphone over LAN to play. Prior to the update, once she started a game, I could see her in my list of worlds and connect to it. All was groovy. Now her game doesn't show up in my worlds list. The only place I can find is her in the "friends" tab (although she doesn't have an xbox account although I do) and when I press it says "cannot connect-outdated server". Both devices are updated to the latest version and both have multiplayer game and broadcast to LAN checked on. Can you fix this please? She is 5 and getting very frustrated with me. By the way, otherwise great work on the 0.15 update!

Hi @unknown Can you please try disabling sign in to xbox live on both devices then setting up the LAN game? For a LAN game, I suspect both devices must be signed out of xbox live. Also please check the versions in the bottom right corner of the main screen. The Amazon device may be on v0.15.1 which is not out for iOS at this time. The iOS device would be on 0.15.0. I'm checking if multiplayer play between 0.15.0 and 0.15.1 is possible.
Hi again @unknown please let us know if this issue is resolved (and how, to help us help others). I can confirm that an amazon device on 0.15.0 or 0.15.1 and an iOS device on 0.15.0 playing LAN together should not get an outdated server error. If you still have the error, please click "sign out" for the "Signed In to Xbox Live" option in MCPE. Should be 3rd option down the first list (in devices running 0.15.1).
I am having a similar issue, we are both using latest android on Nexus 9's with up to date mcpe. Can connect to each other's games using LAN however not using multiplayer online. Also cannot connect to any other friends on other android devices using multiplayer, am able to see and select the games in my friends lists but after some time in the loading screen it either brings up a message 'unable to connect' or screen freezes and game shuts down.
I have a similar issue. I've tested it both directions (game shared from iOS and game shared from android), with existing worlds and newly created ones.
Game is set to multiplayer, broadcast to LAN is on. Devices are on the same network.
Updated all devices to this latest version (0.15.0.1) this morning.
