Roughly five months ago, I tried to connect to my friend's XboxOne server that I had been playing on with my Windows10 computer in the previous weeks. I got the error message "Could not Connect: Outdated Client." It appeared that we were in different versions, the pc version being ahead, so I thought we just need to wait until the XboxOne version updates. Well today, my friend's Xbox says that it's been at V1.4.5.70 since 11/6/2017 and I'm at V1.5.0.4, and we STILL cant play together. Even when I create a world he gets the same message.
I went troubleshooting a bit and found other people with the similar issue of the Outdated Client message. And all that anyone has said is to wait. Well? Where is the update for XboxOne??
I found somewhere that it may be related to being signed up for the beta content through the Xbox Insiders Hub. So I went into the hub and unsubscribed to it and tried to re-connect to his world. Didn't work. I then got my friend to sign up for the content to see if his client updates on the Xbox. Also didn't work.
So, am I doing something wrong? Is it really the issue that Mojang/Microsoft haven't updated one of their platforms since November of last year? Or am I missing the vital information on how to switch versions like in the Java edition on PC?
If there really isn't a way to switch your versions manually then there needs to be. This was an important feature in the Java Edition and I see no reason that it cannot also be in the cross platform edition.
Thank you for your report!

As this is a support issue, you will need to contact Xbox Live Customer Support directly who can help you with any issues you encounter with the Xbox insider hub.
Please note though: 1.5.0.4 is the latest beta version, which released on 17th May. If you want to connect with other players you will need to be on the same version as them.
If you wish to leave the beta, please be aware that your worlds may become corrupted if you attempt to open them in an earlier version - keep backups/copies of your worlds (as you should with any beta testing).
Leaving the beta will need to be done by un-enrolling through the Xbox insider hub app. Make sure you wait for the status to change before exiting the insider app. The button first changes to Pending, then to Join after unenrollment is complete. If you leave the Hub app before it says Join, your unenrollment may not be complete.
Once you have successfully left the beta testing program you should then be able to reinstall the game and play with other in the same version.
I have also edited the ticket description, please bear in mind the Issue Guidelines and etiquette when creating bug reports.
