I re-synced my achievement world to get the ghast tears and wither skulls I had been farming in the Xbox One version in order to try for the rest of the achievements that will unlock for me. My friend and I were planning to do the wither fight and two ender dragon fights so both of us would get the achievements. I was loaded into my world getting my gear together when he tried to join, but he got an "unable to connect to world" message.
So both of us signed out and tried again. Same thing. I even restarted my Xbox. It still wouldn't work.
All the settings are the same as the world I had been playing in, and that world he could join just fine. But the world I just re-synced, he can't. I even went so far as to delete and re-sync it again, and it did not make any difference.

Has your friend also joined the beta program and updated to release 1.2.10.1? If not, he will not be able to connect until you are both on the same release.
Please tell us how your friend connects to you--using WiFi LAN or through Xbox Live. If he connects through Xbox Live, check whether your Multiplayer settings specifies Invite Only in the Xbox Live settings. If so, you will have to either invite him or change the setting to Friends. If he connects through your LAN, check that your Multiplayer settings specifies Visible to LAN Players.
Either way, please let us know whether this solves your problem, and tell us about any other error messages either of you sees.

Through Xbox Live. Our Xboxes are set to update automatically so we should both be on the same release. I have tried to invite him, both through the Xbox friends list and the Minecraft "invite to game" option on the pause screen. The invite doesn't go through from the friends list, and when I try from the MC "invite to game" option, it doesn't even show his name on the list. I don't understand this at all

"Should be on the same release" doesn't apply if one of you has joined the beta and the other hasn't. When you join the beta, you automatically get updated to release 1.2.10. If you haven't you automatically get release 1.2.9. If you're on different releases, it's impossible to play together.

As far as I know neither of us has joined any beta. All I did was re-sync my world from the Xbox One version to get at the supplies I had been farming over there, because the hostile mob spawns are so broken in the Bedrock Edition.
