When trying to connect to friends on iOS, it will try to load for 30 seconds then bring up the prompt "Unable to join world". I have tried different people, different iOS devices, different accounts, and different networks, but it will always do the same thing. The closest I've gotten to joining others is up to "Locating World" where it loads indefinitely and others in the world see that the user has joined but the actual character doesn't show up. Currently, I don't have a screenshot of this but will definitely take one later.
