Updated description by @unknown
In peaceful difficulty, it is possible to give yourself status effects with the /effect command, but not with tipped arrows. This is inconsistent.
Steps to reproduce
Get a bow and a tipped arrow.
Set difficulty to peaceful.
Set gamemode to survival or adventure.
Shoot the tipped arrow straight up so that it hits you.
Expected result
You get the status effect from the tipped arrow.
Actual result
You do not get any status effect.
Original summary
Shooting Yourself with a Tipped Arrow Gives No Effects
Original description
I am making a PvP map for me and my friends. One of the kits has you shooting yourself with tipped arrows to gain effects. It doesn't give you any effects with at least the following arrows. Jump boost, invisibility, water breathing, and swiftness

It is in adventure mode so dispensers wouldn't work and it is supposed to be a bit of a high risk high reward sort of deal where it is hard and you take damage from doing it but you get invisibility, jump boost, etc.
I've shot myself to give myself invisibility now, in 1.14.60. The only way I can get it to not work is if I'm in peaceful difficulty. Were you building/testing your map in peaceful perhaps?
Thank you for your report!

Can you give more detail? It’s not possible to shoot yourself as far as I know.
Since you’re making a custom map, you could use the /effect command.
